Olivia Dean, Katseye, 5SOS and Limp Bizkit Revealed as Lolla India 2027 Headliners
Ending weeks of speculation and days of teasing, the Lollapalooza 2027 lineup has finally been revealed. The official list of artists – both international and Indian – are out and it’s a sight to behold.
The headlining acts are now officially revealed. Grammy Best New Artist winner Olivia Dean confirmed her attendance earlier this week. KATSEYE were teased and now officially confirmed, it would be interesting to see if all the girls show up. Limp Bizkit and 5SOS aside, St Vincent and Lara Raj’s (of KATSEYE) sister Rhea is also part of the lineup. Local heroes Anuv Jain, Aditya Gadhvi, Yashraj and Kayan share space with old guard BLACKSTRATBLUES, Indian Ocean and Scribe. The rest of the lineup is no less impressive.
The two-day music extravaganza, now awaiting its fifth edition come January 23-24, 2027 at Mahalaxmi Racecourse in Mumbai, has always had loaded lineups and brought down the biggest acts in Indian and international music. While the venue has remained the same across editions, 2025 was the only year that the action shifted to March instead of January.
Speaking about her return to Lollapalooza India, Kayan tells Variety India, “Returning to Lollapalooza feels incredibly special, especially as I step into this new era. I’ve been waiting to bring this version of my music to the stage, and I’m really excited for people to experience it live. There’s a lot coming, and Lolla feels like the perfect place to begin.”
Reflecting on his journey with the festival, Yashraj shared – “From coming to this festival as just as someone who geeks out music in the initial years of lolla india to then, in the last two years, coming as a guest performer for some of my fellow musicians’ sets (Karan Kanchan, Hanumankind, Oaff & Savera) and now finally getting the opportunity to present my music in all its glory and in a very unique set which has always been a dream. It feels like a responsibility and a very exciting time to just make the most out of this and provide an experience with my music that I haven't done before. I'm very excited and honestly it just feels like a very, very, very special moment.”
