Linkin Park will perform in India for the first time when they headline Lollapalooza Mumbai in January 2026. The two-day festival, which runs from 24–25 January, will feature more than 40 artists from across the globe, including Playboi Carti.
A long-awaited debut
Despite decades of international success and a strong following in India, this will be Linkin Park’s first appearance in the country. The Grammy Award-winning band has sold over 100 million records worldwide and remains one of the most requested international acts by Indian fans.
In a message to fans, co-founder Mike Shinoda said:
“India has been somewhere we’ve wanted to play for a long time. Our fans there are incredibly passionate and we can’t wait to finally bring our live show to them.”
Linkin Park today
The announcement comes as part of the band’s From Zero World Tour. Their latest record, From Zero, introduced new members Emily Armstrong (vocals), Colin Brittain (drums) and Alex Federer (guitar), alongside long-time members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Rob Bourdon, Dave “Phoenix” Farrell and Joe Hahn.
The group returned in 2024 after a seven-year break following the death of lead singer Chester Bennington in 2017. Since then, they have released tracks such as Lost and Friendly Fire, alongside their new album.
Significance for fans
For many Indian fans, the concert represents a milestone moment. Linkin Park’s catalogue – including songs such as In the End, Numb and Crawling – has been influential for over two decades and continues to resonate with younger audiences today.
Their debut at Lollapalooza India is expected to be one of the most highly anticipated performances in the festival’s history.
