It's the first time the sister streamers will team up to air the festivals jointly.

Three of the biggest music festivals in the U.S. will be streamed on both Disney+ and Hulu this summer. On Monday (May 18), Disney+ announced that it is teaming up with its sister streamer to air footage from Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tenn. (June 11-14), Lollapalooza in Chicago (July 30-Aug. 2) and Austin City Limits in Austin, Texas (Oct. 2-4).
At press time the streamers had not announced exact programming details or which artists will be featured in their coverage.
Deadline noted that Disney has been leaning into its music connection lately, including last week at the network’s upfront presentation to advertisers in New York, which featured a long segment with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, as well as a closing performance from former Disney Channel Bizaardvark star Olivia Rodrigo. The joint stream will take place as Disney is prepping to merge Hulu and Disney+, with the refreshed, unified app slated to roll out by late summer.
This will make the sixth year that Hulu is airing bits from the three festivals, all of which are produced by Live Nation. “Music festivals are among the most electric, can’t-miss moments in culture, and now Disney+ and Hulu subscribers around the world can experience the excitement,” said Lauren Tempest, Disney head of content planning & partnerships, DTC in a statement. “As we continue to extend our live offerings, we remain committed to bringing fans the biggest, most iconic moments right as they happen, and are thrilled to bring that vision to life with Live Nation.”
In addition to livestreaming the performances, Disney+ and Hulu will also bring back the Live Set, an on-site content studio at each festival, which will include artist interviews and behind-the-scenes content throughout each weekend.
This year’s Bonnaroo will feature sets from Skrillex, Four Tet, Vince Staples, The Strokes, Turnstile, Major Lazer, Geese, Wet Leg, Noah, Kahan, Kesha and more. Lollapalooza will host Charlie xcx, Lorde, JENNIE, Tate McRae and Olivia Dean, among others and ACL will feature headliners Charli xcx, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde, Skrillex (weekend one), Kings of Leon (weekend) and The xx.
