This announcement comes following the spectacular Lollapalooza India 2025, which was spearheaded by BookMyShow Live as the promoter and co-producer, alongside global producers Perry Farrell and C3 Presents. Tens of thousands of fans enjoyed more than 20 hours of live performances at the two-day festival at Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse March 8-9. The celebration of music, culture, and community combined global superstars Green Day, Shawn Mendes, Louis Tomlinson, Hanumankind, and more with Indian favorites like Niladri Kumar and Raftaar X KR$NA showcasing the country’s diverse music scene.

BookMyShow Live continues to prove that India is one of the fastest-growing live entertainment markets in the world, and a must-play destination for touring acts. In just the first quarter of 2025, it has produced and promoted five spectacular shows of Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour in Mumbai and Ahmedabad, a six-city Ed Sheeran: +–=÷x Tour spanning seven shows, plus Lollapalooza India 2025.

Beyond the music, Lollapalooza India 2025 continued its commitment to sustainability, inclusivity and accessibility, ensuring that every fan experienced the festival in a meaningful and responsible way. The festival took significant steps toward becoming a zero-garbage event with a zero waste-to-land goal.

It had sign language interpreters at main stages, as well as personalized assistance for visually and hearing-impaired attendees, gender-neutral washrooms, on-ground initiatives to beat the heat with shaded chill zones, misting systems for cooling relief and free hydration stations, help desks with lost and found, Tag Your Kid and more, reinforcing Lollapalooza India’s ethos of being a festival for everyone.

Festivalgoers enjoyed immersive brand activations that blended music, art and fashion. Examples included Johnnie Walker Refreshing Mixers’ interactive ‘Keep Walking’ stage, where aspiring artists took the spotlight, Corona’s ‘Golden Moments’ zone, created a space for fans to unwind and celebrate, H&M brought ‘The Sound of Style’ to life with an interactive fashion playground and NEXA’s exclusive lounge offering premium experiences and showcasing the eVitara—Maruti Suzuki’s first electric vehicle. Lollapalooza India 2025 had something for everyone, creating a balance between high-energy excitement and comfort.
