Lollapalooza India is back, baby! Set to hit Mumbai on March 8-9, 2025, the festival is already stirring up some serious buzz with a lineup that’s destined to make your heart race, your feet move, and possibly even your teenage emo soul resurface for one last hurrah. After the mixed reactions to 2024’s artist roster, which had the Jonas Brothers crooning, Sting reminiscing, and Halsey doing her thing—but no Indian artists headlining—the festival gods seem to have gotten the memo. This year, they’re coming in hot with a lineup that’s giving equal love to international chart-toppers and local talent alike. Hold on to your bucket hats and get ready to dive in!
Put Your Black Eyeliner And Converse On ‘Cause Green Day Is In Town!
The buzz leading up to the Lollapalooza India 2025 lineup reveal was intense, with everyone and their grandma tossing out guesses in the comment section of Lolla’s Instagram. The biggest theory? Green Day. And guess what? They nailed it! For the first time ever, India’s getting a live dose of Billie Joe Armstrong and the crew. That’s right, the punk rock titans behind “American Idiot” and “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” are heading to Mumbai to serenade a sea of fans who will definitely be yelling along, because let’s face it, those angsty lyrics never left our hearts. If you were waiting for the chance to feel like it’s 2005 again, this is it.
But that’s not all, folks. Green Day’s iconic punk vibes will be rubbing shoulders with some serious star power. Shawn Mendes will be there to charm the crowd with his silky vocals, and for all you Directioners still holding on, Louis Tomlinson is also on deck. And if British rock’s your jam, Nothing But Thieves are about to bring their dynamic set to the Lolla stage. Also, we’ve got Glass Animals (yes, the ones responsible for that endless TikTok earworm “Heat Waves”) and Dhanji, indie coolness personified.
Indian Acts To Perform At Lollapalooza India 2025
What’s especially exciting about the Lollapalooza India 2025 lineup is how much more inclusive it feels. Indian and Indo-American artists are front and center, and about time too! Rising stars like rapper Hanumankind and soulful singer Talwiinder are ready to light up the stage with tracks that’ve been all over your playlists. Big Boi, one half of the influential hip-hop duo Outkast, will also be gracing the stage with his legendary flow and showmanship. Add in a sprinkle of Indian virtuosity with sitar maestro Niladri Kumar and indie pop darling Dot., and you’ve got a festival that finally feels like it’s tapping into India’s kaleidoscopic music scene.
Let’s not forget Raftaar x Kr$na, who are bringing the rap heat, along with singer-songwriter Lisa Mishra and the always delightful Raman Negi. Whether you’re into folk, rap, or contemporary Indian music, this lineup is serving something for everyone. And hey, experimental music lovers, rejoice—Sahil Vasudeva is here to blow your mind with his one-of-a-kind piano compositions.
What Else Is In Store?
