Editor's Note: The video in the above player is from coverage of Lollapalooza 2025.
Lollapalooza, Chicago's iconic music festival, teased possible artists for its 2026 summer event in Grant Park with a cryptic social media post on Saturday.
Ahead of the official lineup announcement scheduled for Tuesday, the festival offered hints about some performers expected to appear at the event, which is set to take place from July 30 through August 2.
The post, captioned "Get a taste of your 2026 lineup," featured several images appearing over a blue and pink spiral background designed to resemble a lollipop in an animated video.
The sequence included an eye with stars, the phrase "I can learn how to fly," a hibiscus flower, a bunny rabbit holding a bouquet of flowers and making a peace sign, and finally an image resembling either a sun or flower wearing a crown.
Social media users responded with guesses in the comments.
"The bunny could be from the 'drag path' — twenty one pilots?!?!" one commenter speculated.
Many suggested the Foo Fighters might return to the festival, while others thought the bunny could represent Bad Bunny and the hibiscus might hint at Zara Larsson.
Last year, Lollapalooza’s headliners included Luke Combs, Olivia Rodrigo, Korn, Rüfüs Du Sol, and Sabrina Carpenter.
Meanwhile, Ravinia, another major Chicago-area music festival, announced its 2026 lineup this week, featuring big names such as Ricky Martin, Paul Simon, Lizzo, Bonnie Raitt, Chance the Rapper, and more.
