The live streams for Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits will be done this year by Hulu. All three festivals are run by C3 Presents, a massive entertainment company.
What you’ll see as a Hulu subscriber is select performances live streamed at no additional cost, it’s just part of the subscription package.
Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits will feature two live stream channels on the platform, with performances, special footage and a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on for Friday through Sunday of each festival. BUT, both Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza will have a Thursday live stream that will include one channel. Austin City Limits doesn’t have Thursday shows.
There’s no word on whether these events will also be streamed on other platforms, like YouTube. Each these festivals have traditionally live streamed their events on YouTube.
It’s possible that multiple outlets might have streams, but in the days of exclusive platforms for live events Hulu might be the only platform.
This is pure speculation, but it’s possible that Hulu could offer a sort of “weekend pass” for the platform, where you could buy a ticket to the live stream. This idea gained momentum in the pandemic and is something to look out for as time goes on.
