Lollapalooza Berlin 2026
🗓️ July 18th & 19th, 2026 in the Olympiastadion & Olympiapark Berlin
Lollapalooza Berlin is one of Europe’s largest music festivals, taking visitors on a colorful journey full of music, fun, and adventure for two beautiful summer days. The music program is as diverse as the festival itself and has featured big names such as Justin Timberlake, Sam Smith, Imagine Dragons, RAYE, Foo Fighters, The XX, Billie Eilish, Martin Garrix, and many more! But that’s not all, because away from the music program, a large part of the festival grounds is transformed into an interactive exhibition area that invites all visitors to marvel and participate. From glittering festival trends and a clothing flea market to a green oasis of sustainability, Fashionpalooza and Grüne Kiez have something to offer everyone. And the youngest festival guests are also catered for. Kidzapalooza offers a colorful range of music and creative fun to create just the right festival environment for the little ones.

Consideration / Household / Right to issue Instructions
To ensure that the festival visit is a beautiful experience with lasting memories, we ask all festival visitors for tolerance, consideration, civil courage and help in emergencies. Everyone should make their personal contribution, because the safety and integrity of the festival visitors is paramount. Therefore, the domiciliary rights during the entire festival lie with the organizer and his commissioned third parties. The instructions of the organizer’s security service must be followed at all times.
Persons wearing clothing with an inhumane, homophobic or right-wing extremist background will not be admitted to the site and will not receive a refund of the ticket.

Why Cashless Payment (Cashless Payment by RFID-chip on your Wristband)?
We, FRHUG Festival GmbH & Co KG, Pfuelstraße 5, 10997 Berlin, have entrusted the catering service provider Gastrobüro GmbH & Co KG, Ferropolisstraße 1, 06773 Gräfenhainichen (hereinafter: “catering service provider / GB”) with the organization of catering and merchandising on the event site, including a cashless payment system. The cashless payment system simplifies payment on the event site and reduces waiting times. You don’t need to carry cash or payment cards with you. You can see how much you have spent and have your cashless payment chip/wristband blocked if there are any problems.
How does Cashless Payment work?
You get a wristband with a chip that you can top up with credit that you can use to pay. To do this, you have to hold the chip up to a reader when paying.
The cashless payment system is not operated by “Catering Service Provider / GB” itself, but by “Catering Service Provider / GB’s” cooperation partner Weezevent (https://www.weezevent.com/), 10 Rue Morice, 92110 Clichy (France). If you pay for something at the event (e.g. merchandise / food & drinks), the respective vendor becomes your contracting partner. If there is something wrong with the goods / services, you should contact the vendor; Weezevent will only process the payment.
How do I get the Chip?
You will receive the wristband holding the chip at the entrance to the event site when you present your ticket.
How do I load credit onto the Chip?In order to load credit onto your chip, you must activate it. You can activate and top up your chip at the cashless payment stations on site or, if you want to activate and top up your chip online, you must first set up a virtual account. You can also do this before the start of the event. The link for setting up a virtual account, activating the chip and topping up the chip online can be found on the event website. If your chip is empty and you want to spend some more, you can top up at the cashless payment stations on site or online (if you have already set up a virtual account). You can top up your chip with up to EUR 250 per month.
The following payment methods are available for topping up your chip at the cashless payment stations on site: debit card, credit card (VISA & MasterCard). The following payment methods are available for topping up your chip online: Paypal, credit card (VISA & MasterCard).
Online activation of your chip is always free of charge.
Can I see my credit balance?
You can see your current credit balance during the payment process at all sales stands at the event. At the cashless payment stations on site and online (if you have already set up a virtual account), you can check your credit balance and all previous payment transactions.
How can I pay with the chip?
If you want to pay with the chip, hold it up to the reader at the sales stand. After payment, the reader will show you the remaining credit on the chip. If an unexpected amount has been debited, please clarify this directly on site so that the transaction can be canceled if necessary.
Please note that you cannot reverse payments yourself, that you have initiated. If you are unable to resolve the problem on site, please use the contact addresses listed at the end of this information.
Take good care of your chip, as others can also use the top-up credit if you lose or pass on the chip. You will not receive a refund for this.
What happens if my chip doesn’t work or I no longer have it?
If there are technical problems with the chip, you can have it blocked and receive a new chip with transferred credit free of charge. You can also have your chip blocked free of charge and receive a new chip with transferred credit if you no longer have it. If you have any questions, please contact the addresses listed at the end of this information.
Is my chip personalized or anonymous?
An individual chip ID is stored on your chip, which is linked to your name and e-mail address and stored in your virtual account. This data is required for refunds and the transfer of credit. It is also recorded in the virtual account when, at which sales stand and in what amount credit was debited from the chip. This data is needed to settle accounts with the vendors on site and helps catering service provider / GB to improve its range of goods and services in the future. For this purpose, all data is first anonymized before it is analysed. Further information on data processing can be found HERE. You may not transfer your chip to another person (e.g. give it away or sell it).
How does the refund of the remaining credit work?
Within the first four weeks after the end of the event, you can submit your refund request via your virtual account. Your remaining credit will then be refunded to you free of charge without interest by Weezevent.
Four weeks after the end of the event, you must send your refund request by e-mail to “Catering service provider / GB” (e-mail address: cashless@lollapaloozade.com). Please do not forget to include your bank details and chip number. The credit will then be refunded to you free of charge without interest by catering service provider / GB.
Please keep the chip until you have received the refund. You cannot transfer the right to a refund to another person. Discount promotions and other promotions for which nothing has been paid are not refundable.
