On Day 2, fans were greeted with a forecast of heavy rain and a light sprinkle starting around 2 p.m. Plastic ponchos quickly became the day’s reigning fashion trend.
But anticipation for the evening’s headliners — Charlie xcx and The Smashing Pumpkins — remained in tact judging by artist merchandise parading through the grounds. Bunny ears signaled fans of Slayyyter, the rising Missouri-born pop star, in the mix. Other artists on the day’s schedule include ‘Stranger Things’ star Finn Wolfhard; the Swedish singer-songwriter Zara Larsson; and the enigmatic Horsegiirl, the German DJ known for wearing a horse-head mask.
Here’s what we saw on Day 2 of Lollapalooza 2026:
