Festival season is just around the corner and we couldn’t be more excited! Here’s what you can expect from Lollapalooza Berlin presented by essence 2026. Lollapalooza will take over Berlin’s Olympiapark on July 18th and 19th and awaits thousands of visitors.
The festival in Germany’s capital is known for hosting big names and this year holds no exception. Stars like Lorde, Lewis Capaldi and Zara Larsson among others headline this year’s edition. Pure emotion and raw energy guaranteed!
This year’s line up features big international stars as well as German artists such as AYLIVA, jolle or Zartmann. All three have been rising to new heights during the past few years so it’s only natural for them to be performing at one of Germany’s biggest festivals!
Lollapalooza also provides space for artists that shape the local music scene like makko, panicbaby and Schmerzis and it has created the New Horizon Stage which will host rising stars such as Nieve Ella and Don West.
Latin sounds will also be heard this year, with Anitta and Young Miko bringing fresh sounds and a feeling of la pura vida to Berlin. Additionally, techno enthusiasts will not fall short either and have artists such as ARTBAT or Funk Tribu awaiting them. The timetable has been released a few days ago so make sure to curate your perfect calendar to be well prepared and not miss your favourite artists.
The layout of the festival grounds has changed a little bit compared to the previous years. The Perry’s stage has left the stadium and hosts its raves in the surrounding area. Complimentary programs like Kidzapalooza, Fashionpalooza or Grüner Kiez will be hosted just like before, as they have grown to be popular parts of the festival’s experience.
Aside from the music, the festival offers a wide range of different food options – from Asian food via Pizza and Burritos to Frozen Yoghurt, Churros, Crepes and much more. It also offers multiple vegetarian and vegan options. Make sure to load your cashless account sufficiently though, as no card or cash payment will be accepted.
