Finn Wolfhard, known for his roles in 'Stranger Things' and 'It,' made his Lollapalooza debut on July 31, 2026, performing with his band The Aubreys. Despite being a Lolla first-timer, Wolfhard has a long history with Chicago, having grown up in the city and attended local music venues.
In an interview before the set, Wolfhard expressed excitement about returning to his hometown stage. 'Chicago is where I saw my first concerts,' he said. 'Playing here feels like coming full circle.'
The Aubreys' set at the Grant Park festival drew a large crowd, with fans eager to see the actor-musician in a different element. The band performed tracks from their latest EP, blending indie rock and pop sensibilities.
Wolfhard's connection to Chicago extends beyond music; he has been a vocal supporter of local arts programs and has participated in charity events in the city. His Lolla performance marks a significant milestone in his music career, separate from his acting fame.
