With the countdown almost over, Lollapalooza India returns for its fourth edition, turning Mumbai into the epicentre of music, art and culture this weekend. Set against the backdrop of the city’s unmistakable energy, the 2026 edition promises more than performances—it delivers a fully immersive, thoughtfully curated festival experience.
Taking over Mahalaxmi Racecourse on January 24 and 25, 2026, Lollapalooza India brings together global icons, breakout stars and cutting-edge creatives, blending international sounds with a distinctly local spirit. From unforgettable live sets to exclusive merchandise and immersive art, here’s what fans can expect this year.
A Festival with Purpose: #LollaForChange
Lollapalooza India continues to prioritise impact beyond entertainment. The 2026 edition reinforces its commitment to sustainability, accessibility and inclusivity, with gender-neutral washrooms, dedicated safe spaces and strong anti-harassment protocols built into the festival experience.
Design & Art: An Immersive Playground
Art takes centre stage as the festival grounds transform into an interactive visual world. Larger-than-life installations, Artboard experiences and the kinetic Lolla Garden—where spinning flowers bloom in motion—turn the venue into an art-forward playground.
Extending beyond the racecourse, Kaali Peeli on the Go reimagines a Mumbai taxi as a moving party zone, complete with lights, music and live broadcasts on a giant billboard—bringing the festival into the heart of the city.
Lolla Food Park: A Festival Within a Festival
The Lolla Food Park returns as a major crowd favourite, featuring over 70 food brands across stalls, carts and food trucks. From comfort classics to global flavours, it’s a culinary experience designed to match the scale and energy of the festival.
Exclusive, Collectible Festival Merch
Fans can shop a wide range of limited-edition merchandise, including T-shirts, tank tops, hoodies, basketball and collared jerseys, along with lifestyle essentials like picnic mats, bandanas, dad caps and bucket hats—each designed as a keepsake from the weekend.
A Lineup That Defines the Future of Global Sound
Lollapalooza India 2026 delivers a genre-spanning lineup across rock, pop, electronic, indie and hip-hop. Headlined by
Linkin Park and Playboi Carti, both making their festival debuts in India, the lineup also features Yungblud, Kehlani, Knock2 and more. From alt-rock and R&B to bass-heavy EDM, hip-hop, dream pop and J-pop, standout acts including LANY, Sammy Virji, Fujii Kaze and Calum Scott ensure a dynamic, multi-generational music experience built for discovery and celebration.
Founded by Perry Farrell in 1991, Lollapalooza has spent over three decades redefining festival culture—pioneering multi-genre lineups, immersive art, activism and global expansion. In 2026, Mumbai once again becomes part of that legacy, hosting a festival that continues to push creative boundaries.
