The wait is finally over. Linkin Park will headline Lollapalooza India 2026 in Mumbai, marking the band&rsquo;s long-awaited debut in the country. The two-day festival is scheduled for January 24&ndash;25, 2026.
Formed in 1996, Linkin Park is one of the world&rsquo;s most iconic rock bands, known for anthems like In the End, Numb, and Crawling. Their current lineup features Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell, Emily Armstrong, and Colin Brittain. This will be the band&rsquo;s first-ever performance in India after nearly 30 years, bringing their latest hits like Lost, Friendly Fire, and the album FromZero to fans.
Joining them on the star-studded lineup is Playboi Carti, whose cultural impact and chart-topping tracks like Magnolia and Stop Breathing have redefined modern rap. Yungblud, the British punk-rock phenomenon, will bring his rebellious energy, while Kehlani adds her soulful R&amp;B artistry with hits like You Should Be Here.
The lineup also spans diverse genres with acts like LANY, Sammy Virji, Fujii Kaze, The Midnight, Knock2, and Calum Scott, alongside India&rsquo;s very own Bloodywood, who have won global acclaim for their fusion of folk and metal.

BookMyShow Live is producing the Indian edition in collaboration with Perry Farrell and C3 Presents. With its eclectic mix of global superstars and Indian trailblazers, Lollapalooza India 2026 promises to be one of the most memorable music festivals in the country.
