Lollapalooza India 2026 finally unveiled its much-awaited line-up on Friday (August 29) with Linkin Park and Playboi Carti set to headline the fourth edition.

Lollapalooza India will take place on January 24 and 25 spread across four grand stages in Mumbai. At the centre of it all will be Linkin Park, making their long-overdue India debut.

The band, having won multiple Grammys and selling over 100 million records worldwide, which defined music for every teenager with their hard-hitting fusion of rock, rap and raw emotion, has long been one of India’s most requested acts.

American rapper and singer Playboi Carti will bring his raw, experimental energy to the stage in his India debut. With a cult following and a sound that reshaped modern rap, Carti is expected to perform era-defining tracks like ‘Magnolia’, ‘Sky’ and ‘Stop Breathing’, along with songs from his latest album 'Music' where all 30 tracks stormed the Billboard Hot 100.

The line-up also includes the British punk-rock phenomenon YUNGBLUD (known for tracks like 'Parents’ and ‘Fleabag’), Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely and Homixide Gang, along with American singer-songwriter Kehlani, who will weave her R&B, neo-soul, and pop into her set, EDM wunderkind Knock2, Calum Scott, Lany, Sammy Virji, Fujii Kaze, The Midnight and Mother Mother.

India’s indie vanguard takes charge too, from Ankur Tewari & The Ghalat Family, tabla maestro and Asian avant-garde pioneer Karsh Kale to OAFF-Savera, bringing their lush electronic independent pop textures to the stage, along with MXRCI. The country's metal powerhouse, Bloodywood, will return to the Lolla stage with their acclaimed blend of folk and metal.

The festival will also see pioneering Afro-jazz-funk collective, Nubiyan Twist, light up the stage with their explosive grooves, while Prithvi Presents will reimagine Indian traditions with a festival-ready twist. Hamdi, Baalti and the viral German sensation BUNT, who fuses banjos, fiddles and harmonicas with euphoric house drops, will also be seen performing along with Brazil's MU540, and Hot Milk, Manchester’s alt-rock rebels.

BookMyShow Live spearheads Lollapalooza India as the promoter and co-producer for the festival’s Indian edition along with global producers Perry Farrell and C3 Presents.
