The BMI Stage at Lollapalooza is marking its 20th anniversary with a special retrospective video featuring past performers Vic Mensa, Bebe Rexha and Dannylux, who revisit their early sets and breakout moments on the stage.
Over two decades, the BMI Stage has served as a launching pad for artists who went on to major careers. Lady Gaga, Chance the Rapper, Cage the Elephant, X Ambassadors, Young Thug, Red Clay Strays and Role Model are among the acts that performed there before reaching mainstream success.
The 2026 BMI Stage lineup continues that tradition with 25 emerging artists spanning indie folk-rock, Latin pop, soulful country and more. Headline acts include Evening Elephants, Paloma Morphy, RYMAN and Will Swinton. Additional performers include Bella Kay, Elizabeth Nichols, Next of Kin, Justine Skye, Simon Grossmann, INK, Porch Light and others.
