Music fans around the globe are in for an exciting experience as Disney+ and Hulu officially team up to livestream major music festivals, including Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits. For the first time, audiences worldwide will be able to tune in live through both streaming platforms and enjoy some of the biggest performances of the year in real time.
The move marks another major step in Hulu’s long-running partnership with Live Nation. Now in its sixth year of streaming live festival content, Hulu continues to expand its reach, while Disney+ adds an even larger global audience to the mix. Together, the platforms are turning music festivals into shared international events that fans can enjoy from virtually anywhere.
“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, Head of Content Planning & Partnerships, DTC at The Walt Disney Company. “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.”
Live Music Goes Global
As live entertainment continues to evolve, streaming has become an essential way for fans to stay connected to their favorite artists and events. Disney+ and Hulu are leaning further into live programming, offering audiences a steady stream of cultural moments, sports, news, and now even more live music experiences.
The growing demand for international music content is impossible to ignore. According to the 2025 Live Nation Living for Live Global Study, 73% of music fans say they are listening to more international artists than ever before. Meanwhile, 85% believe live music now connects people beyond language and geography.
Kevin Chernett, EVP and Head of Global Media Partnerships at Live Nation, emphasized how livestreaming is reshaping the festival experience.
“Music festivals used to be experiences reserved for the people who could physically be there,” said Kevin Chernett, EVP, Head of Global Media Partnerships at Live Nation. “Now they’re becoming global live moments that fans want to experience together in real time, no matter where they are in the world. Expanding this partnership with Disney+ and Hulu allows these festivals to reach music fans at an entirely different scale.”
Festival Dates to Watch
Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is set to take place from June 12 to 15, while Lollapalooza returns from July 31 to August 3. More information about the livestream schedules and featured performances will be announced closer to each event.
With streaming platforms continuing to invest in live entertainment, fans can expect even more unforgettable festival moments delivered straight to their screens.
