#LollaForChange: A festival with purpose
Lollapalooza India has always about creating a lasting impact. This edition continues to build a festival experience that is responsible by design and inclusive.
1. Sustainability is intentionally embedded into the festival’s planning and operations, with end-to-end waste management, on-ground waste segregation, mindful material choices2. Inclusivity is approached with the same level of intent, with thoughtfully designed measures including gender-neutral washrooms, dedicated safe spaces, robust anti-harassment protocols, trained volunteer teams and clearly marked help points throughout the festival grounds3. Accessibility has been thoughtfully integrated to ensure every fan can fully participate in the experience. This includes Persons With Disabilities (PWD) viewing risers across all stages, wheelchair-friendly pathways, dedicated assistance desks and shuttle support for guests with mobility needs4. Ease of access on travelling to Mahalaxmi Racecourse further strengthens this commitment, with seamless travel options via the Aqua Line metro, local trains and Cityflo connectivity. Together, these measures make getting to Mahalaxmi Racecourse effortless and stress-free, while also supporting reduced carbon footprints

Art pulses through the festival grounds as Lollapalooza India 2026 becomes an immersive world brought to life through larger-than-life installations, each designed to deliver visually striking, interactive experiences that reflect the festival’s spirit. From the return of the iconic Lolla Inflatable, a festival landmark to the nostalgic Shaman Inflatable inspired by Perry Farrell’s original artwork, creativity takes centre stage. Rising proudly at the heart of the venue, the Big Top, a shaded zone, a natural meeting point and a space to recharge. Add the playful Lolla Buddies photo-op, the bold Lolla
Artboard and the kinetic Lolla Garden where spinning flowers bloom in motion and the venue transforms into an art-forward playground packed with unforgettable, picture-perfect moments. With Kaali Peeli on the Go, the festival energy spills into the city itself as a Mumbai taxi is reimagined into a moving party zone, complete with dazzling lights and live broadcasts on a giant billboard.
