\n\tRain that flooded Chicago overnight and continued to fall on Saturday delayed the third day of Lollapalooza<\/a> 2026 and caused organizers to push back doors by about three hours for cleanup. The downpours caused pooling throughout Grant Park where the festival is held. By the time it opened at 3 p.m., the grounds were understandably muddy, but navigable for attendees.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe delay also caused a shift in scheduling, with some performances canceled altogether, and others truncated. Fortunately, weather did not derail two of the day\u2019s best performances, headliner Olivia Dean<\/a> and rising star Sienna Spiro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tDean\u2019s ascent to the top spot has been a quick one. \u201cThis is so crazy,\u201d she said as she took in the crowd, which stretched back to the end of her side of the park. She last played in 2024 on a smaller stage in the daytime and noted that last year her first headlining show in Chicago drew about 1,500 people. \u201cTo be headlining this year is just crazy and truthfully I\u2019ve been crying all day because I just feel so privileged to do this,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tIt\u2019s been a banner year for Dean, who kicked it off by winning the Grammy for Best New Artist<\/a> in February and it\u2019s been augmented by her making history. On Friday, Dean and Sam Fender<\/a> set a new U.K. record for longest running Number One song on the singles chart. The duo\u2019s song, \u201cRein Me In,\u201d spent 19 weeks atop the U.K. singles chart. It surpassed Frankie Laine\u2019s record for 1953\u2019s \u201cI Believe,\u201d which spent 18 weeks at the top and held the record for more than 70 years.<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tTo mark the occasion, Dean brought out Fender as a surprise guest during her headlining set on T-Mobile stage on Saturday to perform their hit.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt was one of the highlights from her elegant set, which featured songs from her debut album Messy<\/em> (including \u201cDive\u201d) and many of her songs from her breakout sophomore effort, 2025\u2019s The Art of Loving<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier in the day, rising star Sienna Spiro performed on the Airbnb stage, which was packed with fervent fans who sang along to her cuts from debut album, Visitor<\/a><\/em>. Standouts included \u201cPure,\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s Not My Baby, I\u2019m His,\u201d \u201cGreat Expectation,\u201d and closer \u201cDie on This Hill.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSimilarly to fellow British singer Dean, the 20-year-old hearkened an other-era quality during her set, with orchestral arrangements that included live horn sections. Sounding both timeless and fresh, Dean and Spiro did so with panache on Day Three of Lollapalooza 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
