Lollapalooza India 2027 is the festival's fifth Mumbai edition, back at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse on January 23 and 24 with 45 acts across four stages. The lineup landed on September 3 with every headliner making an India debut: Olivia Dean arrives months after winning Best New Artist at the Grammys, Limp Bizkit finally get here 14 years after a cancelled 2013 booking, KATSEYE bring the first major girl-group booking in the festival's history, and Fontaines D.C. land on the far gloomier end of the same poster, touring their October album Dopamine Chamber.
The second line runs from 5 Seconds of Summer and St. Vincent to Steve Angello and Osaka selector ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, with Stewart Copeland and Ricky Kej staging their Grammy-winning Police Beyond Borders songbook. The domestic bench is the deepest yet. Anuv Jain tops it with a production he says was built only for this festival, alongside The Manganiyar Seduction's wall of lit boxes, fusion veterans Indian Ocean, and a rap line of Swadesi and Yashraj. The whiplash between Break Stuff and bedroom ballads drew online grumbles within the hour, which is roughly the franchise brief.
Expect pop, alternative, electronic and hip-hop across 45 acts.

Dublin's poet-punks grown into arena-scale alt-rock: 'Romance' made them era-defining, swagger and melancholy in equal Irish measure.
Post-punkAlt-rock
The global girl group assembled through a televised search, built on K-pop discipline but writing for a Western pop chart.
PopK-pop
Nu-metal's chaos agents in their beloved victory-lap era. Fred Durst does it all for the nookie, still, and the field does it with him.
Nu-metalRap-rock
The UK's warmest new pop-soul voice, with effortless, jazz-schooled songwriting that's conquered charts on both sides of the Atlantic and charm fully intact live.
Pop-soulNeo-soul
Osaka-born cult selector Yousuke Yukimatsu (genre-shredding DJ sets that went from viral clips to worldwide bookings) brings anything-goes technique with total joy.
TechnoDJ set
The Dewaele brothers' DJ alias, the mashup pioneers who made As Heard on Radio Soulwax a genre of its own. Still the most joyful hard drive in dance music.
ElectronicMashup
Sydney pop-rock veterans who long outgrew their boy-band billing, with arena-sized hooks, real instruments, and a pop-punk past that still sneaks into the setlist.
Pop-rock
Gujarati folk voice behind Khalasi, which jumped from Coke Studio to every wedding dance floor in the state. Garba scale, stadium lungs.
Gujarati folkFolk-pop
Chilean-American rock polymath: Eleven co-founder, desert-rock producer, and the secret weapon on records by Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures.
Alternative rock
Hindi indie's softest superstar: bedroom ballads like Baarishein and Husn built on little more than voice and guitar, now filling arenas of phone lights.
Indie-popSinger-songwriter
Warren Mendonsa's instrumental project, and India's most beloved guitar tone. Melodic blues-rock that says everything without a single lyric.
Blues rockInstrumental
Genre-smashing Melbourne punk-rap with riffs, bars, and zero regard for lanes, delivered with a hardcore band's physicality.
PunkAlt-rap
Delhi fusion pioneers running since 1990, folding folk melodies and classical ragas into jam-band rock. Kandisa is still a campfire hymn across India.
Fusion rockIndo-fusion
Mumbai singer and DJ Ambika Nayak, moving between silky R&B vocals and club-ready sets. One of the city's busiest genre-hoppers.
R&BAlt-pop
Hip-hop
Baltimore band fronted by Ashrita Kumar, whose pop-punk hooks keep giving way to hardcore screaming. Met as students, kept the urgency.
Rock
British indie-pop with a sharp lyrical edge: bright arrangements carrying much darker subject matter, Croydon storytelling on the rise.
Indie popAlternative
LA pop writer and performer with South Indian roots, and KATSEYE member Lara Raj's older sister, stepping out with her own dark-pop singles.
Pop
Mumbai post-hardcore veterans with a sense of humor as heavy as the riffs. Absurdist breakdowns and Bollywood in-jokes, moshing since the late 2000s.
Post-hardcoreMetalcore
Annie Clark's project, guitar playing that lurches and stutters through art-rock built on tightly drilled arrangements. Every record arrives with a new persona attached.
Alternative
Swedish House Mafia's dark third, a Size Records boss with the heaviest drop of the trio.
Progressive-house
The Police's drummer and the Bengaluru composer behind their shared Grammy winner Police Beyond Borders, restaging those songs with Indian classical firepower.
OrchestralWorld
Roysten Abel's staged spectacle: dozens of Manganiyar folk musicians stacked in a wall of lit red boxes, building Sufi songs into an avalanche. A theatrical one-off on any festival bill.
Rajasthani folkWorld
Dance
Sikkim-born songwriter whose hushed folk miniatures made her one of the Indian indie scene's quiet obsessions.
Indie folkSinger-songwriter
Country
Abhishek Bhatia's solo electronic alias: hushed vocals over meticulous, moody production.
ElectronicDowntempo
Producer and guitarist wiring Indian classical textures into live electronica. A fixture of the country's independent circuit since Passenger Revelator.

Indonesian pop star with conservatory training, swerving from radio ballads into prog-metal ambition.

Multilingual Mumbai hip-hop collective rapping in Marathi, Hindi and more, with protest politics and tribal percussion in the beats.
Hip-hopDesi hip-hop
Scrappy Mumbai indie-punk lifers, loud and melodic in roughly equal measure.

Bengaluru vocalist and flautist who scats Carnatic phrases at jazz speed. A collaborator's favorite whose range reads like a synthesizer spec sheet.

Mumbai rapper with a poet's patience, splitting the difference between boom-bap introspection and Hindi hooks.
Hip-hop
Olivia Dean, Limp Bizkit, KATSEYE and Fontaines D.C. top the bill, with 5 Seconds of Summer, St. Vincent, Steve Angello and ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U on the next line. All four headliners are playing India for the first time.
