The much-awaited music festival will be packed with headlining acts, unique experiences, and interactive zones, with global artists like Playboi Carti and Linkin Park performing in Mumbai. While attendees are excited about their favorite artists, many are also wondering about one important question: will alcohol be available at Lollapalooza 2026? Let’s guide you on that!
Lollapalooza, the globally-renowned American music festival that started in 1991, debuted in India in 2023. After three successful years, it is back with its fourth edition, taking place on January 24 and 25. Like its previous editions, the music festival will take place in Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse over the course of two days.
The music festival will bring global music artists across genres like pop, hip-hop, electronic, punk rock, heavy metal, and more to India. Additionally, it will also provide a global platform to Indian artists across these genres, orchestrating a creative collaboration of international and homegrown talent.
For its 2026 edition, Lollapalooza India will be headlined by internationally-acclaimed, award-winning artists like Playboi Carti, Linkin Park, Yungblud, Kehlani, Fujii Kaze, Calum Scott, and more. Many homegrown artists like Hamdi, Ankur Tewari, Gauley Bhai, OAFF X Savera, and more will perform on the coveted Lollapalooza stage.

Yes, alcohol will be available at Lollapalooza India 2026. However, alcohol availability comes with its own terms & conditions.
Soft liquor (beer and wine) will be served to individuals aged 21 and above.
Hard liquor (other spirits like whisky, vodka, gin, etc) will be served to individuals aged 25 and above.
Additionally, attendees at Lollapalooza India 2026 will not be allowed to sneak in alcohol under any circumstance. Attendees found violating this rule will face dire consequences, so if you’re in the mood to enjoy some alcohol at the event, sneaking it into the venue is the last thing we’d recommend!
However, attendees can purchase alcohol and alcoholic beverages inside the venue. Each year, the music festival has a roster of brands from the food & beverage and hospitality sectors that offer a range of alcoholic beverages. For 2026, attendees will be able to purchase liquor (and even non-alcoholic beverages) at designated Johnnie Walker booths and Budweiser booths.
While the music festival and these brands are pushing experiences that revolve more around non-alcoholic beverages, you can get your hands on their alcohol-related offerings.
