Hulu To Stream Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza & ACL Festival
Want to attend all the biggest music festivals but time, money, and the energy to get there just aren’t on your side? Thankfully, Hulu has your back. The subscription streaming service has announced it will expand its slate of festival coverage and will stream Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits (ACL) Music Festival in 2022 and 2023.
Now billing itself as the “official streaming destination” for major festivals, Hulu promises viewers select performances, additional “special footage” and “behind-the-scenes” clips at the events. Fans at home will be able to watch the streams from two different live feeds Friday through Sunday, with a single feed on Thursday from Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. Subscribers to Hulu will have access to the music festival streams at no extra cost, with it being included with the rest of the service’s streaming offerings.
