The inaugural Lollapalooza India festival drew 60,000 fans to watch 40 artists over two days — despite some disappointment over the final lineup.
MUMBAI — Drawing more than 60,000 music fans over two days, with 40 artists performing on four stages spread across 50 acres, the inaugural edition of Lollapalooza India this weekend conquered the mantle of the largest multi-genre festival ever held in India.
In the country’s exponentially growing live music scene, Lollapalooza was somewhat late to the party, arriving more than a decade after multi-genre properties such as the Bacardi NH7 Weekender and Vh1 Supersonic. That meant audience expectations for an international brand like Lollapalooza were somewhat higher, especially because ticket prices were almost double those for its homegrown Indian counterparts.
To Indian music fans it felt like a super-sized Weekender, with some of the former programming and production team members working for Lollapalooza. The main difference: huge stages with amped-up sound and light production. Lolla’s crowd of roughly 30,000 per days also topped Supersonic’s latest edition in 2020, which pulled in about 20,000 over two days; and last November’s Weekender, which drew a little less than 20,000 per day over three days, according to people who work with the festivals.
