Warm Love Cool Dreams 2026 Lineup: Courtney Barnett, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Toro y Moi, More

Chicago’s Warm Love Cool Dreams festival has announced its 2026 lineup, with Courtney Barnett, The Jesus & Mary Chain, and Toro y Moi serving as headliners. The festival will return to the city next summer.

Courtney Barnett will bring her guitar-driven rock to the festival grounds, marking her first Chicago performance in two years. The Australian singer-songwriter released her latest album earlier this year and has been touring internationally since spring.

The Jesus & Mary Chain will perform their signature sound, drawing from four decades of releases. The Scottish band recently completed a European tour and will make several North American stops before their Chicago appearance.

Toro y Moi, the project of Chaz Bear, rounds out the main headliners. Bear has been performing under the Toro y Moi name since 2009 and released his ninth studio album last fall.

Warm Love Cool Dreams takes place annually in Chicago’s Grant Park. The 2026 edition marks the festival’s fifth year, having launched in 2022 after pandemic delays.

Tickets go on sale Friday through the festival’s website. Three-day passes start at $275, with single-day options available beginning in March.

The complete lineup includes over 40 acts across four stages. Organizers have not yet announced daily schedules or set times.
