But you do need a subscription to get Hulu and watch the festival (see below). Once you launch Hulu, you will find Lollapalooza on the app's home screen or go to the search bar and type in "Lollapalooza."

If there's a performer you really want to see, watch it live because Lollapalooza will not be available on demand afterward.

How much does Hulu cost?

The least-expensive plan (you must watch some commercials) is $7.99 monthly (or $79.99/year) and you get access to Hulu's ad-supported streaming library. Students can get that plan for $1.99 per month, if eligible.

You can get a free trial of Hulu, but you do need to sign up and submit payment details. (You won't be charged until the end of your trial period – the trial length is different depending on the subscription tier you choose.)

Other subscription options include Hulu bundled with Disney+, which costs $9.99 (with ads). Bundled with Disney+ and ESPN+, the cost is $14.99 (with ads) or $19.99 (without ads).
