Disney and Hulu to Stream Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Globally

Disney and Hulu will jointly livestream three major American music festivals this year, marking the first time these events will be available globally on Disney's platform. The festivals are the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, from June 11 to 14; Lollapalooza in Chicago from July 30 to August 2; and the Austin City Limits Music Festival in Austin, Texas, across two weekends in October.

This partnership expands Hulu's existing festival coverage, which is entering its sixth year of streaming these Live Nation-produced events exclusively in the United States. The new arrangement will make the festivals available to Disney subscribers internationally for the first time. Exact programming details for the livestreams will be announced closer to each event's dates.

The coverage will include live performances from each festival. According to announced lineups, Bonnaroo will feature artists such as The Strokes, Skrillex, and Noah Kahan. Lollapalooza's billed performers include Charli XCX, Lorde, and Tate McRae. Austin City Limits will host acts including Charli XCX, Twenty One Pilots, Rufus Du Sol, and Kings of Leon.
