BookMyShow confirmed in a statement, “Lolla India returns on January 24-25, 2026, with 40+ artists stacked across four iconic stages. The festival is bringing you the sounds you love, from pop, rock, indie, and hip-hop to everything in between.”
After months of speculation and hints, American rock band Linkin Park has officially confirmed they will perform at Lollapalooza India 2026. This marks the band's first-ever show in India.
The group will take the stage on January 25, 2026 at Mumbai's Mahalaxmi Racecourse. Linkin Park announced the news through a newsletter sent to fans, revealing the performance poster just before general ticket sales opened at 12 noon.
Earlier, the festival's Instagram account had been creating quite a buzz with cryptic captions that hinted at major announcements. Sharp-eyed fans noticed intriguing patterns in recent posts, sparking widespread speculation.
In one promotional post about RuPay presale tickets, the caption read, “From zero to hundred, our RuPay Presale tickets are moving fast! Get yours NOW!” The phrase ‘From Zero’ immediately caught fans' attention, as it directly referenced Linkin Park's 2024 studio album, leading many to wonder if it was more than just a coincidence.

Another Instagram post featured the caption, “The RuPay Presale is NOW LIVE! Get your presale tickets while they last, after all, this is the better way to parti! Come be a part of something.. at Lolla India 2026!” The phrase “part of something” resonated with Linkin Park fans, as it appeared to reference lyrics from the band’s song ‘The Emptiness Machine.’

Though organisers have not confirmed anything, fan speculation is running wild.
With the General Sale now live, Lollapalooza India has once again set fans abuzz with a cryptic Instagram caption. The post read: “General Sale is NOW LIVE! We’re about to paint the town a whole lotta red, so make sure you get your tickets and be a part of Lolla India 2026!”
The phrase “paint the town red” has caught the attention of music lovers, as many see it as a possible nod to Doja Cat’s hit track ‘Paint the Town Red.’ While the festival has not confirmed her presence, the wording has sparked widespread speculation that the rapper-singer could be part of the 2026 lineup.
Lollapalooza India has officially opened general ticket sales for its 2026 edition, with organisers announcing the launch through their Instagram account. The music festival's general admission tickets are now available to the public at ₹29,000 for a two-day pass.
In their official announcement, festival organisers stated, "General Sale is NOW LIVE! We're about to paint the town a whole lotta red, so make sure you get your tickets and be a part of Lolla India 2026!"

Comments under Lollapalooza India’s posts show fans asking for Twenty One Pilots, Tame Impala, Niall Horan, Blink-182, and even a reunion of Oasis. Electronic music lovers want Tiësto, David Guetta, Dom Dolla, and Fred Again on the lineup.
Beyond Linkin Park, chatter on Reddit has stirred even more excitement. According to one widely shared post, Billie Eilish, Linkin Park, M.I.A., Raja Kumari, and Raftaar are already signed.
The same leak mentioned ongoing negotiations with My Chemical Romance and David Guetta, though both are reportedly weighing financial and logistical hurdles. At the same time, rumours of Bruno Mars performing have been shot down.
If even part of these leaks turns out to be true, Lolla India 2026 could be one of the most diverse editions yet, blending international pop, alternative rock, electronic beats, and Indian hip-hop.
