JADE is the stage name used by English singer Jade Thirlwall, the 2026 Lollapalooza act.
Thirlwall became internationally known as a member of Little Mix, the British girl group formed on The X Factor in 2011. Little Mix went on to become one of the most successful groups created by the show, with songs including “Wings,” “Shout Out to My Ex” and “Sweet Melody.” The group announced an extended hiatus in 2022, after which its members pursued individual projects.
For her solo career, Thirlwall stylizes her professional name as JADE, usually written in uppercase. She released “Angel of My Dreams” in 2024, introducing a deliberately bold pop sound that draws on dramatic production and her earlier love of classic pop performance. The name can be confused with Jade, the first name of other performers, but this clue points specifically to Thirlwall’s solo artist identity rather than Little Mix as a group.
