A look back at previous editions

Lollapalooza India has quickly established itself as a major event in India’s music calendar. The inaugural 2023 edition featured a stellar lineup that included The Strokes and Imagine Dragons, drawing a crowd of over 60,000 fans. The 2024 edition, though memorable, faced some mixed reactions due to the absence of Indian headliners among its international acts, which included the Jonas Brothers, Sting, and Halsey.

With Green Day, Shawn Mendes, and a host of other popular and diverse acts, the 2025 lineup is poised to capture the spirit and energy that fans have come to expect from Lollapalooza. The announcement of Green Day’s debut in India has already created a buzz among fans who are eager to relive their favorite hits live. 

As India’s music scene continues to grow and evolve, Lollapalooza India 2025 promises to be an unforgettable celebration of music and culture, bridging the gap between international and local artists. Whether you're a rock enthusiast, pop lover, or electronic music fan, the festival is set to offer something for everyone.
