Ravinia Festival Announces 2026 Lineup Featuring Paul Simon, Chance the Rapper and Ricky Martin The Ravinia Festival revealed its 2026 season lineup on Thursday, highlighting a diverse array of artists performing at the redesigned Hunter Pavilion in Highland Park. The lineup includes Paul Simon, Chance the Rapper, Ricky Martin, Brandi Carlile, and Hugh Jackman, alongside other notable acts such as Miranda Lambert, Alabama Shakes, Rod Stewart, and Ziggy Marley. The festival will run from June through September, with over 50 artist debuts scheduled across the season.
