After months of anticipation, Lollapalooza India has revealed the line-up for its fourth edition, set to take place in Mumbai on January 24–25, 2026. This year’s programme is led by Linkin Park, who will perform in India for the first time, and Playboi Carti, marking a new milestone for hip-hop on the festival’s stage.
Since its debut, Lollapalooza India has positioned itself as a platform that bridges global icons and new voices, curating one of the most diverse and cross-genre festival line-ups in the country. The 2026 edition continues that trajectory with over 40 artists spanning rock, hip-hop, electronic, pop, R&B, metal, and indie, across four stages over two days.
For Linkin Park, the India performance carries historic weight. The band, synonymous with a generation that grew up on their fusion of rock and rap, have sold over 100 million albums worldwide and earned multiple Grammy Awards. Their catalogue, from early anthems like In the End and Numb to recent releases including Lost and From Zero, has long been among the most requested by Indian audiences. Their debut in Mumbai is expected to be a landmark cultural moment.
Playboi Carti brings a different kind of energy, one rooted in experimentation and disruption. Known for redefining contemporary hip-hop, Carti will perform in India for the first time alongside his Opium label collective, including Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, and Homixide Gang. Together, their appearance marks a significant step in expanding the representation of rap and underground culture within the Indian festival landscape.
The line-up also features British artist YUNGBLUD, whose high-intensity performances have built a community around punk-influenced anthems, and R&B star Kehlani, celebrated for their genre-fluid artistry and Grammy-nominated work. Rising electronic producer Knock2, synth-pop band LANY, Japanese singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze, and UK bass innovator Sammy Virji add further depth to the programme, alongside acts such as The Midnight, Mother Mother, Calum Scott, Nubiyan Twist, and India’s own Bloodywood.
As with past editions, Lollapalooza India highlights both global and homegrown talent. Indian artists on the bill include Ankur Tewari & The Ghalat Family, Karsh Kale, OAFF-Savera, MXRCI, and a strong contingent of emerging independent acts such as Sen, Zoya, Pho, and Gauley Bhai. The festival continues to serve as a launchpad for local voices while connecting them to an international audience.
Lollapalooza India is produced by BookMyShow Live in partnership with global producers Perry Farrell and C3 Presents. Beyond music, the festival experience will include large-scale art installations, immersive activations, a curated food park, and social impact initiatives under the #LollaForChange programme.
