This long weekend turned into a musical extravaganza for gig lovers as the 2nd Edition Of Lollapalooza India took place on 27th and 28th January 2024. These two days at the Mahalaxmi Grounds in Mumbai were filled with a stellar lineup of ace International performers who had all the music lovers tapping their feet to their beats. Into its second year, the massive music fest was headlined by The Jonas Brothers, Sting, Halsey, Lauv, and One Republic.
While both nights enthralled the audiences, the highlight of the festival was when Joe Jonas introduced Nick Jonas as everyone’s ‘Jiju’ and the whole crowd collectively chanted “Jiju” as he performed. This was The Jonas Brothers‘ first-ever band act in India. The band belted out their hits like Jealous, So Close, Sucker, What A Man Gotta Do, Cake By The Ocean, and more. To top it off, they hyped the crowd up by playing Priyanka Chopra’s Gallan Goodiyaan! Nick was also joined by King as they sang Maan Meri Jaan (Afterlife).
Of the other headlining acts worth remembering, Sting filled the air with nostalgia. Halsey delivered an emotionally packed performance as the day marked the 10th anniversary of the release of her first-ever song, “Ghost“. She also announced her next album at the concert. Lauv, on the other hand, showered his fans with abundant love. He also surprised the audience by bringing Armaan Malik on stage as they sang “I’m So Tired” together.
One Republic put up an epic performance as the Lollapalooza crowd cheered them on. The best surprise came in when they performed a cover of Beyoncé’s Halo. The other artists in the lineup included K-pop group The Rose, Korean-American singer Eric Nam, Indie artists The Karan Kanchan Experience, Parvaaz, Prabh Deep, Dualist Inquiry, Komorebi, Parekh & Singh, Skrat, Kamakshi Khanna, JBABE, Chrms, and Dewdrops, among many others.
