American rock band Linkin Park are all set to perform for the first time in India at Lollapalooza India 2026. It is a dream come true for many Indian fans who have grown up listening to their music, the same feeling that many had when Green Day performed at the 2025 edition.

A lot of fans were heartbroken when Chester Bennington passed away in 2017. With their first-ever performance in India after a 30-year-long wait, they will also make the debut with their new lead vocalist Emily Armstrong, giving fans new hope for the future.

"India has been somewhere we've wanted to play for a long time," says Mike Shinoda, adding, "Our fans there are incredibly passionate, and we can't wait to finally bring our live show to them."
