Music lovers and festival-goers, mark your calendars! Lollapalooza India is making a fiery return to Mumbai for its fourth edition, this time on January 24–25, 2026, at the iconic Mahalaxmi Racecourse. Get ready for over 20 hours of live music across four stages, promising an immersive and unforgettable weekend of performances, culture, and connection.
The Ticket Rush Begins
This year’s ticketing promises excitement even before the music starts.
- Pre-Sale Access: Exclusively for RuPay credit card holders, the pre-sale kicks off at 11 AM IST on August 26, 2025.
- General Sale: Tickets go live for everyone at 12 PM IST on August 28, 2025, on BookMyShow and the official Lollapalooza India site.

Mahalaxmi Racecourse: Mumbai’s Music Playground
Few venues capture the energy of a festival like Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse. Wide open fields, a central city location, and the legacy of hosting global artists make it the perfect home for Lolla India.
The setup will once again feature four unique stages spread across the venue, with 20+ hours of live music designed to flow seamlessly between genres—whether it’s indie, pop, rock, hip-hop, or EDM. Add art installations, photo-friendly backdrops, and vibrant festival zones, and you’ve got more than a concert—you’ve got a cultural carnival.
Why India Can’t Get Enough of Lollapalooza
Since its debut in 2023, Lollapalooza India has quickly become a cultural landmark. Each year has brought iconic international acts and beloved homegrown artists to one stage:
- 2023: Imagine Dragons, The Strokes, AP Dhillon, Divine
- 2024: Sting, Jonas Brothers, Prabh Deep, Anoushka Shankar
- 2025: Green Day, Shawn Mendes, Keane, Raghu Dixit
The magic lies not just in the headliners but in the surprise collaborations. Remember when Nick Jonas performed with King, or Keane brought out Anoushka Shankar? These are the goosebump-worthy moments that keep fans coming back.
A Festival for Everyone, Everywhere
Lollapalooza isn’t just about music—it’s about community, inclusivity, and discovery. The #LollaForChange initiative ensures the festival is open to all, with features like:
- Sign language interpreters at stages
- Wheelchair-accessible zones
- Gender-inclusive restrooms
- Free hydration stations
- Safe spaces for all festival-goers
Beyond the music, the Lolla Food Park has become a highlight of its own, offering gourmet bites, global cuisines, and local flavors that make refueling part of the experience.
Who’s Dropping Beats This Year?
The official lineup is still under wraps and will likely be revealed by late September or October. But if past years are anything to go by, expect a bold mix of global icons and Indian stars, spanning everything from stadium-shaking headliners to underground discoveries.
Whispers of Billie Eilish, Linkin Park, and My Chemical Romance joining the roster have already set fan communities buzzing. If confirmed, audiences can look forward to a genre-bending lineup where moody ballads meet rock anthems and hip-hop collides with electronic grooves.
Whether you’re coming for international legends or to discover the next Indian indie breakout, the playlist is guaranteed to keep you moving from stage to stage.
The Countdown to January Magic
With 98% of 2025 attendees saying they plan to return, the energy for 2026 is unmatched. As the countdown begins, all eyes are on Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse, which is set to transform once again into the heartbeat of Asia’s festival scene.
Pre-sale begins August 26, 2025, and general tickets go live August 28, 2025. If history is any indicator, passes will sell out fast—so secure your spot early.
Lollapalooza India 2026 isn’t just another music festival—it’s a cultural moment, a celebration, and a memory waiting to be made. Whether it’s your first Lolla or your fourth, January promises to be unforgettable.
