Olivia Rodrigo and Yungblud Join Smashing Pumpkins for Surprise Lollapalooza Set

The set marked the Chicago-bred band's first Lollapalooza headlining slot in 32 years — they last played the festival in 1994.

The top 3

  1. Largest Crowd for a Daytime Set: Chappell Roan's 2024 Lollapalooza performance drew over 100,000 festival-goers, setting a record for the biggest daytime crowd in the festival's history.
  2. Most Controversial Protest Performance: In 1993, Rage Against the Machine protested the Parents' Music Resource Center at Lollapalooza by performing their entire 14-minute set naked with duct tape over their mouths and 'PMRC' written on their chests, leading to them being hauled off stage by police.
  3. Longest-Running Festival in the U.S.: Lollapalooza, founded in 1991 as a touring event and settling permanently in Chicago in 2005, is one of the longest-running music festivals in the United States.
