K-pop excitement is stirring on Reddit as fans speculate about who might take the stage as the K-pop headliner at Lollapalooza 2026. Since the groundbreaking Tomorrow X Together headlining slot in 2023 and TWICE’s standout set in 2025, enthusiasts on r/lollapalooza are weighing in with their wishes and predictions.
Popular guesses include high-energy groups like ATEEZ, Enhypen, Le Sserafim, and TXT. There’s a strong faction rooting for female soloists too, spotlighting stars like Lisa and Jennie from BLACKPINK, as well as powerful girl groups like Aespa. Throwbacks are also in the mix, with fans longing for iconic acts such as 2NE1 and BIGBANG to make a comeback or guest appearances.
Solo artists like G-Dragon are also on the radar, cementing the breadth of K-pop’s growing footprint at major U.S. festivals.
While the buzz is intense and hopeful, festival organizers have yet to confirm any headliners for 2026. This chatter, however, underscores a significant evolution in festival culture and highlights the expanding appeal of K-pop in the American festival circuit.
