Viagra Boys perform at Metro in Chicago for an Official Lollapalooza Aftershow on July 20, 2026.
In recent years, Lollapalooza has leaned into a much more poppy and glossy aesthetic than the grungy alternative origins of its 1991 debut. That said, the 2026 lineup features several artists representing all things rock – The Smashing Pumpkins, Wet Leg, and Die Spitz to name a few – chief among them Viagra Boys.
Prior to performing on the AirBNB Stage during Day One of Lollapalooza, Viagra Boys treated all the Punk Rock Losers, Troglodytes, and Dirty Boyz in Chicago to a sweaty pre-Lolla Aftershow at Metro on Wednesday, July 29. Following an opening set from Beau Wanzer, Viagra Boys hosted the punk party to end all punk parties – absolutely legendary – it even included custom made cookies.

Sebastian Murphy (vocals), Henrik “Benke” Höckert (bass), Tor Sjödén (drums), Oskar Carls (multi-instrumentalist), Elias Jungqvist (keys), and Linus Hillborg (guitar) had fans dancing from the moment they began the show with the Viagr Aboys standout “Man Made of Meat.” Fan favorites like “Sports,” “Ain’t No Thief,” and the jam-heavy “Research Chemicals” also appeared on the evening’s stellar setlist.
