Lollapalooza India has dropped the complete artist list for its 2027 edition, and music lovers have plenty to get excited about. The fifth edition of the popular music festival is bringing some of the biggest names in global music to Mumbai, with Olivia Dean, Limp Bizkit, and KATSEYE leading the charge. The two-day event is scheduled for January 23 and 24, 2027, at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse in Mumbai. With four stages and more than 40 performances planned, this year’s festival is shaping up to be the biggest one yet.
Olivia Dean and Limp Bizkit to Headline the Festival
British pop-soul singer Olivia Dean will make her India debut as one of the headliners. She won the Best New Artist award at the 2026 Grammy Awards, which has pushed her into the global spotlight. Festivalgoers can expect to hear her popular tracks like ‘Messy’, ‘Dive’, and ‘Man I Need’. Dean had already hinted at her appearance last month when she posted an Instagram story with the Indian flag emoji and the words “See you soon?”.
Limp Bizkit, the American nu-metal band, will also be making their India debut at the festival. The band, known for hits like ‘Break Stuff’, ‘Rollin”, and ‘Nookie’, has sold more than 40 million records worldwide and received three Grammy nominations. For fans who have waited years to see them live, this is a big moment. The band was supposed to perform in India back in 2013 as part of the Fly Festival, but that show was cancelled. Frontman Fred Durst had told Rolling Stone India at the time, “I really want to visit India,” and that the cancellation made them even more determined to perform in the country. Fourteen years later, that wait is finally ending.

KATSEYE and Other International Acts Join the Lineup
KATSEYE, the global girl group under HYBE, is also set to perform. The group has quickly become one of the most talked-about pop acts with songs like ‘Gnarly’, ‘Touch’, and the Grammy-nominated ‘Gabriela’. The current lineup includes Daniela Avanzini, Indian-origin member Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, and Yoonchae Jeung. Lara’s sister, Rhea Raj, an Indian-origin pop artist, is also part of the festival lineup.
Other international names on the bill include Fontaines D.C., the Irish post-punk band, 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS), the Australian pop-rock group, and six-time Grammy winner St. Vincent. The electronic music side is covered by Steve Angello of Swedish House Mafia, Japanese artist ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, and Belgian duo 2manydjs. Rachel Chinouriri, Ecca Vandal, Pinkshift, and Alain Johannes are also among the international performers.
Strong Representation from Indian Artists
The festival is also putting a strong focus on Indian talent. The Indian lineup features artists across folk, independent music, hip-hop, electronic, and rock genres. Some of the big Indian names include Aditya Gadhvi, Anuv Jain, Indian Ocean, Blackstratblues, Kayan, Rhea Raj, Yashraj, Swadesi, and Donn Bhat.
Three-time Grammy winner and Padma Shri recipient Ricky Kej will perform with Stewart Copeland of The Police. Their performance is expected to bring together rock, orchestral music, and Hindustani classical sounds. The Manganiyar Seduction, Isyana Sarasvati, Varijashree Venugopal, and several others are also part of the lineup. Singer-songwriter Anuv Jain is preparing a festival-exclusive performance with a “distinctive sonic and visual world created exclusively for the festival”.
