Lollapalooza 2026 unleashes immersive brand experiences and exclusive giveaways at Interlagos

São Paulo is gearing up for the highly anticipated Lollapalooza 2026, scheduled to take place from March 20 to 22 at the iconic Autódromo de Interlagos. This year’s festival boasts a stellar musical lineup featuring global sensations such as Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Lorde, and Tyler, The Creator, promising three days of unforgettable performances.

Beyond the stages, attendees are invited to delve into a comprehensive festival experience designed to offer more than just music. The sprawling grounds will transform into vibrant gastronomic villages, catering to every culinary taste with diverse food options spread across Interlagos, ensuring festival-goers are energized throughout the event.

A key highlight of the Lollapalooza experience lies in the innovative brand activations, where major companies known to audiences will distribute complimentary items and host special thematic activities. These immersive zones are crafted to engage festival-goers, providing unique interactions and memorable moments during the event’s duration.

Whisky, music, and celebrity endorsement

Johnnie Walker, a prominent whisky brand, is making a significant splash at Lollapalooza 2026 by partnering with artist Sabrina Carpenter. Carpenter, serving as the brand’s ambassador, has inspired a special drink, the “Go Go Highball,” which will be a signature cocktail of the festival.

Attendees can engage with the brand’s activation through an interactive “This or That” musical quiz. Completing the quiz rewards participants with an exclusive branded cup, perfect for enjoying the Go Go Highball, which will also be readily available at the Johnnie Walker bar located within the exclusive Lolla Lounge area. This initiative underscores the brand’s commitment to connecting with audiences through cultural celebrations.

Mayonnaise brand’s creative collaborations

Hellmann’s, the well-known mayonnaise brand, returns to the festival with an exciting partnership lineup. This year, they’ve teamed up with Brazilian singer and actor Xamã, comedian Luana Zucoloto, and influencer Álvaro, bringing a dynamic trio to their activation space.

The collaboration centers around the “Never a Dry Snack Again” campaign, a playful nod to enhancing everyday meals with Hellmann’s creamy flavor. Xamã expressed his enthusiasm, stating that the partnership elevates his Lollapalooza experience, emphasizing the joy of adding “that creaminess that makes everything worthwhile” to life’s busy moments.

For the third consecutive festival, Hellmann’s will distribute its highly coveted, iconic jacket, now redesigned in a fresh new version. This fashionable giveaway, available within the Lolla Lounge, further solidifies the brand’s strong ties to fashion, culture, and gastronomy within the festival landscape, becoming a sought-after souvenir among attendees.

Sensory journeys and essential festival gear

A beauty and personal care brand invites festival-goers on a unique sensory journey with its “Discover Your Sensation” experience. Upon entering the activation, participants interact with a digital totem that poses quick questions, performing a personalized sensory reading based on their responses.

The system then reveals one of five core sensations: pleasure, intensity, connection, authenticity, or freedom. Following this discovery, attendees are directed to a corresponding locker filled with exclusive merchandise, allowing for a personalized gifting experience. Among the featured giveaways is an exclusive mini bag, customizable with various decorative charms, making it a unique keepsake.

Each recording is then transferred to an exclusive mini recorder, meticulously designed to evoke the classic aesthetic of old-school cassette tapes, offering a nostalgic and personalized souvenir.

Meanwhile, ChatGPT is positioned as the official AI guide for Lollapalooza 2026, offering groundbreaking interactive experiences within the Lolla Lounge. The activation includes dedicated totems for generating AI-inspired images related to the festival’s vibrant universe, which can be easily downloaded via QR code or printed on-site.
