The annual Lollapalooza music festival is set to return to Chicago's Grant Park from July 30 to August 2, featuring over 170 artists, including Charli XCX, Lorde, and The Smashing Pumpkins. For those unable to attend in person, select performances will
be available for live streaming on Hulu and Disney+ as part of an exclusive distribution agreement. This follows the platforms' previous live streaming of the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. T-Mobile will also offer festival attendees access to its Club Magenta, providing views of the T-Mobile Stage, giveaways, and complimentary services.
