aespa is set to take the stage at Lollapalooza Chicago, reinforcing its growing presence on the global festival circuit.
SM Entertainment confirmed on March 18 that aespa will join the lineup for the 2026 edition of Lollapalooza Chicago, scheduled to take place from July 30 to August 2 at Grant Park in Chicago.
Lollapalooza is one of the world’s largest music festivals, drawing more than 400,000 attendees each year. At this year’s event, aespa will share the stage with global acts including Charli XCX and The Chainsmokers, further solidifying its position among leading K-pop girl groups.
The upcoming appearance continues aespa’s steady run across major international festivals. The group has previously performed at Coachella, Governors Ball, Outside Lands, and Mawazine, consistently demonstrating its live performance capabilities on large-scale stages.
The timing of the festival is particularly significant as it coincides with aespa’s planned comeback in the second quarter. The Lollapalooza stage is expected to serve as a large-scale global showcase for new music, potentially linking into the group’s next tour phase.
Meanwhile, aespa will meet fans on April 4 at ICE BSD in Jakarta as part of the “2025–26 aespa LIVE TOUR – SYNK : AXIS LINE – ASIA.”
