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."
