As January settles into its rhythm, Mumbai is gearing up for one of its most anticipated cultural weekends of the year. Lollapalooza India returns for its fourth edition on January 24 and 25, 2026, transforming the iconic Mahalaxmi Racecourse into a two-day celebration of music, culture and shared experiences that go far beyond the stage.
What began as a global festival arriving on Indian shores has, over the years, evolved into something far more personal. Lollapalooza India today feels deeply embedded in the city’s cultural calendar — a moment when music lovers, creators and communities converge, turning Mumbai into a living, breathing festival space.
Spread across four stages and over 20 hours of live performances, the festival is designed to let audiences chart their own journey. From high-energy headline sets to intimate performances that spark unexpected connections, the experience is as much about discovery as it is about familiarity. The parallel programming allows global sounds and homegrown voices to exist side by side, reinforcing the festival’s genre-agnostic and inclusive spirit.
Beyond the music, Lollapalooza India has carved out an identity as a thoughtfully curated lifestyle experience. The festival grounds unfold into spaces that invite audiences to slow down between sets, explore food, art and culture, and soak in the atmosphere at their own pace. The Lolla Food Park, in particular, continues to be a crowd favourite, adding a distinctly Indian flavour to the global festival format.
What sets this edition apart is the sense of anticipation that builds not just around the lineup, but around the moments that cannot be scripted. Surprise collaborations, spontaneous on-stage interactions and shared crowd energy have become part of Lollapalooza India’s signature — moments that linger long after the weekend ends.

The festival’s commitment to inclusivity, accessibility and sustainability remains woven into every aspect of the experience. From thoughtful crowd planning and accessible viewing areas to hydration stations and eco-conscious initiatives, the focus is on creating a space where everyone feels welcome and cared for — a quality that has strengthened its bond with the city year after year.
With Mumbai playing host once again, Lollapalooza India 2026 isn’t just a music festival — it’s a cultural pause, a collective exhale, and a reminder of how live experiences bring people together in ways nothing else quite can.
As the city steps into this music-filled weekend, one thing is certain: for two days in January, Mumbai belongs to the music.
