Cut Worms, Transmitter

Produced by Jeff Tweedy, Max Clarke’s fourth album tampers down the luster of past records, grounding aspects of the indie-folk songwriter’s music that once seemed impossibly pristine.

Kim Gordon, Play Me

Fully embracing the trashy SoundCloud-era internet aesthetic as she raps, sings, and shreds over industrial clatter, this is the sound of an artist who’s still inspired by the cutting edge at 72.

The Notwist, News From Planet Zombie

This folksy, brassy new iteration of the German trio excels at melodies that yearn and churn with melancholy—yet still manages something celebratory.

Lollapalooza has announced that it will be returning to Chicago’s Grant Park from July 30 to August 2 this year. Charli XCX, Tate McRae, Lorde, Olivia Dean, John Summit, JENNIE, The Smashing Pumpkins, and The xx are listed as the 2026 headliners, and other exciting artists set to perform include Turnstile, Beabadoobee, Ethel Cain, Empire of the Sun, Blood Orange, Geese, Freddie Gibbs, Wet Leg, Viagra Boys, Lil Uzi Vert, Clipse, MUNA, and Suki Waterhouse.

Pre-sale for the festival begins this Thursday, March 19. Check out the full poster below, and visit Lollapalooza’s official website for more information.
