Linkin Park to Finally Rock: Iconic Band Set for Lollapalooza 2025 Debut in Mumbai
At last, Linkin Park’s fans in India have something to look forward to. The wait is finally over: a top rock band will headline the 2026 Lollapalooza India Festival. It is their first confirmed appearance in India, and the fans have treasured anticipation for it. The event is scheduled for February 2026 and is set to be held at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse in Mumbai.
Linkin Park’s Arrival: A Watershed Moment
On Friday, when the Sporting Harlequins announced the event, there was an expectation was set into motion from that day. The announcement was well received by the racing community from all over the country, as it was something that was expected for a long time.
It is of great significance for the Indian live music scene. This is exciting because, to this date, no other international rock band has come close to performing in front of the nation with this calibre of attention. The band is anticipated to deliver their greatest hits from their multi-platinum albums.

Event Details and Location
The Concert Lollapalooza India 2026 will be on February 1 and 2, 2026, at Mahalaxmi Race Course; the same location where we executed Lollapalooza, and the venue sold out for Lollapalooza for 2023 and 2024, and is back at Mahalaxmi Race Course for 2026.
Lollapalooza India is a new venture that was established from the historical success of the Lollapalooza Chicago festival, originally founded by Perry Farrell. The 2024 edition had a lot of amazing acts, including Sting and the Jonas Brothers!
The Power Behind the Festival
BookMyShow Live, the live entertainment experiential division of BookMyShow, is spearheading Lollapalooza India as the promoter and co-producer for the festival's Indian edition, along with global producers Perry Farrell and C3 Presents. Ticket information is now live.
The previous editions of the multi-genre music festival hosted performances by Shawn Mendes, Green Day, the Jonas Brothers, Imagine Dragons, and Hanumankind.
May This Event Mark a Turning Point for India’s Economy and Tourism?
The booking is certainly a triumph for the Indian live events domain, signalling a sizable demand for global music in the country. Attendees would be coming not only from all over Asia but from much farther to be a part of the celebration.
This is a great way to stimulate the tourism and economy of the country. The festival is also expected to have a stellar lineup of both international and domestic supporting artists.
A Long-Awaited Moment for Generations of Fans
Linkin Park will be the headliners for Lollapalooza India 2026. Concerts like this give us hope, making it a fantastic occasion to mark on the calendar. Fans, especially the ones from the older generations, will be looking forward to a concert like this for many years.
The big event will happen in Mumbai, so the city will draw all the attention this February for a fantastic event to listen to rock music. The concert is more than just a musical performance; it's a cathartic experience for a generation of millennials who grew up with the band's anthems of angst and resilience, finally getting to witness them live.
