Yungblud’s long-anticipated debut in India turned into an unforgettable emotional experience at Lollapalooza India 2026. Performing for the first time in Mumbai on January 24, the British rock star was met with a massive wave of love from nearly 70,000 fans gathered at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse. By the time he wrapped up his explosive set, Yungblud stood on stage visibly emotional, overwhelmed by the thunderous response. Within minutes, videos of him wiping away tears and taking in the roaring crowd flooded social media, quickly going viral.
Known for his electrifying performances, Yungblud brought relentless energy to the stage — leaping across platforms, screaming lyrics, and urging the crowd to sing every line with him. Midway through his set, he paused to share a heartfelt message with the audience. “India, I absolutely love you. Every time I come here, the love feels unreal,” he said, instantly igniting cheers across the festival grounds. He then promised fans that this would only be the beginning. “I’ll keep coming back — I want to be here every single year,” he declared, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
What truly set the performance apart was the connection he built with his fans. In a rare moment for an artist performing before such a huge crowd, Yungblud stepped off the main stage and walked directly into the audience, singing among fans who reached out to touch his hand and sing along. The boundary between artist and audience disappeared, creating one of the most memorable moments of the night.
Another highlight came when Yungblud noticed a banner held by a young fan named Soham, asking for a chance to play air guitar on stage. Without hesitation, he invited the fan up, turning the spontaneous request into a joyful and widely shared viral clip. The gesture earned massive cheers and online praise for the singer’s genuine warmth toward his supporters.
The emotional climax arrived as Yungblud closed his set with a tribute to rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. Performing a soulful rendition of “Changes,” he ended his India debut on a powerful and touching note, leaving many in the audience visibly moved.
Meanwhile, Lollapalooza India 2026 kicked off in grand style, transforming Mumbai into the epicenter of global music culture. Day one saw Playboi Carti headline with fireworks, smoke effects, and high-energy performances of hits like “Carnival,” “Timeless,” and “Fe!n.” Acts such as Mother Mother and Hot Milk kept the momentum surging throughout the day.
With day two featuring Linkin Park’s much-awaited India debut alongside Kehlani, LANY, Bloodywood, and Calum Scott, Lollapalooza India 2026 is already being hailed as a historic milestone for live music in the country.
