MUMBAI – The fourth edition of Lollapalooza India, one of Asia’s most prestigious music festivals, is set to take over the Mahalakshmi Racecourse in Mumbai on January 24 and 25, 2026. Organized by BookMyShow, this year’s extravaganza is expected to shatter previous attendance records, featuring a powerhouse lineup of international icons and homegrown talent.

The Headliners: A Historic Debut

The crowning jewel of the 2026 lineup is the legendary rock band Linkin Park, marking their first-ever official performance in India. As part of their "From Zero" World Tour, the band will perform with their new vocalist, Emily Armstrong, offering fans a historic chance to hear classics like "In the End" and "Numb" live on Indian soil.

India’s own talent will be well-represented by Ankur Tewari, Karsh Kale, and OAFF x Savera, performing across multiple stages.

Pro-Tips for Festival Goers

To make the most of the two-day carnival, organizers and veterans suggest the following:

Arrive Early: Gates open at 2:00 PM. Arriving early helps avoid the rush and allows you to explore all the stages and art installations.

Wear Comfortable Shoes: Expect to walk upwards of 10km a day across the vast racecourse grounds; sneakers are a must.

Go Cashless: Use the official festival wristband for payments. Due to high network congestion, UPI and digital wallets may face lag.

Stay Hydrated: Free water stations are available throughout the venue. Bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and support the festival's #LollaForChange eco-friendly initiative.

Use the App: Download the Lolla India app for real-time schedules and venue maps.

Travel and Logistics

Public transport is highly recommended to avoid Mumbai’s notorious traffic. Attendees can take the local train to Mahalaxmi or Lower Parel stations. Special CityFlo bus services will also be operational.

Tickets are currently available on BookMyShow. With Linkin Park leading the charge, this edition promises to be an unforgettable chapter in India’s live music history.
