Three of the biggest music festivals in the United States will be streamed on both Disney+ and Hulu this summer, the companies announced Monday.
According to Billboard, Disney+ confirmed it is teaming up with its sister streamer to cover Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tennessee from June 11 to 14, Lollapalooza in Chicago from July 30 through August 2, and Austin City Limits in Austin, Texas from October 2 to 4.
The announcement did not include exact programming details or confirmed artist lineups for the streaming coverage. The joint broadcasts will take place as Disney prepares to merge Hulu and Disney+, with the unified app slated to roll out by late summer.
"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, Disney head of content planning and partnerships, DTC. "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."
In addition to livestreaming performances, both platforms will bring back the Live Set, an on-site content studio at each festival that will include artist interviews and behind-the-scenes content throughout each weekend.
All three festivals are produced by Live Nation. This will be the sixth year Hulu has aired coverage from the events.
Disney has been leaning into its music connections lately. At the network's upfront presentation to advertisers in New York last week, the event featured a long segment with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest and closed with a performance from Olivia Rodrigo, a former star of the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark.
This year's Bonnaroo lineup includes Skrillex, Four Tet, Vince Staples, The Strokes, Turnstile, Major Lazer, Wet Leg, and Kesha, among others. Lollapalooza will host Charli xcx, Lorde, JENNIE, and Tate McRae. Austin City Limits headliners include Charli xcx, RUFUS DU SOL, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde, Skrillex, Kings of Leon, and The xx.
