Lollapalooza officially released its 2026 set times and fans are already stressing over some massive conflicts across the weekend.
After looking through the schedule, there are several overlap decisions that are going to split crowds all over Grant Park.
One of the biggest conflicts people are already talking about is Worship vs John Summit on Thursday night. That’s a brutal choice for dance music fans, especially with both expected to pull massive crowds at the same time.
Another painful Thursday overlap is Kettama vs Empire of the Sun. Completely different vibes, but both feel like must-see sets depending on what kind of night you’re trying to have.
Saturday has another rough one with Max Styler vs Clipse. House fans heading toward Perry’s are going to miss one of the most anticipated hip-hop sets of the weekend and vice versa.
And honestly, that’s just scratching the surface.
Friday night alone is stacked with Charli XCX, Major Lazer, and The Smashing Pumpkins all overlapping during the final stretch of the night. Earlier in the evening, Lil Uzi Vert, Mustard, and Yungblud also create another difficult split across the festival grounds.
Perry’s especially feels loaded this year with names like Boys Noize, Boris Brejcha, Kettama, Alison Wonderland, Sidepiece, Eli Brown, Disco Lines, Worship, Major Lazer, and The Chainsmokers all bringing huge crowds throughout the weekend.
At the same time, the conflicts are also proof of how strong this year’s lineup really is, with something major happening almost every hour across Grant Park, which makes figuring out who you’re willing to miss the hardest part of the weekend. Between conflicts like Worship vs John Summit, Kettama vs Empire of the Sun, and Max Styler vs Clipse, fans are already trying to build game plans before the festival even starts.
And with Lollapalooza now nearly sold out, the crowds across every stage are expected to be massive all weekend long.
Take a look through the schedule and let us know: What’s the worst conflict of the weekend?
