BLACKPINK’s Jennie has become the first Korean soloist to headline five major events in a single year, adding another important achievement to her 2026 run. Her latest headline booking is Lollapalooza Chicago 2026, which was announced on March 17, 2026. The festival will take place at Grant Park in Chicago from July 30, 2026, to August 2, 2026. With her headlining announcement, the BLACKPINK diva is now appearing in major events, including ComplexCon, The Governors Ball, Mad Cool Festival, and Summer Sonic.
Lollapalooza is one of the biggest music festivals in the United States and draws around 400,000 people each year. Jennie was named as one of the main performers alongside artists like Charli XCX, Tate McRae, Lorde, Olivia Dean, John Summit, The Smashing Pumpkins, and The xx. Her inclusion in the lineup will surely draw more fans and cement KPop at the event, making her the first solo Korean headliner.
Jennie’s latest addition at Lollapalooza also adds a more current angle to her 2026 festival success, since Lollapalooza is now her most recent major booking. The milestone is especially notable because it highlights her as a solo artist, not only as a member of BLACKPINK. By headlining ComplexCon, The Governors Ball, Mad Cool Festival, Summer Sonic, and now Lollapalooza in the same year, Jennie is setting a new mark of demand and popularity on the global festival stage.
