<\/p>\n5 Seconds of Summer Relive a Teenage Dream<\/h2>\n
\t<\/p>\n
\n\tKaty Perry\u2019s \u201cTeenage Dream\u201d has quite the lore with 5 Seconds of Summer fans. The Australian pop-rock band covered the 2010 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit during performances like Summertime Ball in 2014, and at a SiriusXM visit that same year, leading to the cover holding a special place in fans\u2019 hearts. A decade later, 5SOS revived the rockified cover of the glitzy turbo-pop anthem, which supplied a heavy dose of nostalgia to festivalgoers.<\/p>\n \/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \t<\/p>\n \n\tCharli xcx and Lorde working it out on the remix never gets old. Charli popped out for the \u201cGirl, So Confusing\u201d remix during the later stages of Lorde\u2019s headlining set, and the immediate screeches from fans of the pop stars\u2019 heartwarming reunion further cement it as one of pop\u2019s signature moments in the 2020s. This time around, Charli kept things fresh by appearing on the Jumbotron while sipping from the functioning school water fountain Lorde had on stage. Perhaps Lorde will return the favor, and they\u2019ll run it back on Friday (July 31) with Charli headlining.<\/p>\n \/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \t<\/p>\n \n\tWhen John Summit was making DJ tutorial YouTube videos and quit his CPA job in 2019, who knew what was in store seven years later for him? Summit, a Chicago native, went from attending Lolla in general admission to a night one headliner. He delivered one of his most expansive sets to date, featuring dancers in cubicles, Pitbull hits reimagined as EDM tracks and an appearance from British singer Absolutely to perform their \u201cDON\u2019T BELIEVE IT\u201d collaboration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \t<\/p>\n \n\tIt was a successful Chicago debut for SB19, who became the first P-pop group to perform at Lollapalooza. The five-man boy band was extremely grateful for the opportunity, which drew support from Filipinos from across the globe who made sure they were in attendance for the historic set. SB19 playfully joked about how they were still adjusting to the American diet filled with bread and pasta. They ran through various tracks in Filipino and English, while previewing a cover of Francis M.\u2019s \u201cMga Kababayan\u201d anthem and their newest track \u201cLawless,\u201d which arrived on Friday (July 31).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n \t<\/p>\n \n\t \/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/lists\/lollapalooza-2026-best-moments-recap\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/P107EQ4Z-e1785517831274.jpg?w=1024″] All eyes in the music world are on Chicago this weekend, as Grant Park plays host to another year of Lollapalooza.

John Summit\u2019s Homecoming<\/h2>\n
SB19 Makes Filipino History at Lolla<\/h2>\n
Sombr & 5 Seconds of Summer Team Up for the Collab We Didn\u2019t Know We Needed<\/h2>\n
Sombr\u2019s Lollapalooza performance was a cathartic experience for the singer, as the 21-year-old admitted he\u2019s been in a \u201cdark\u201d place in recent days, but was aided by the return to the stage. After telling the audience he was about to \u201cturn this place upside down,\u201d Sombr brought 5 Seconds of Summer back out, who played the set at the T-Mobile Stage prior to the \u201cHomewrecker\u201d singer-songwriter. Sombr duetted with the Australian boy band for 5SOS\u2019 2014 hit \u201cShe Looks So Beautiful,\u201d which reached No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100. With Luke Hemmings dyeing his hair black, the 5SOS lead singer and Sombr looked as if they could\u2019ve been cousins while sharing an embrace on stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
