International musical festival Lollapalooza is all set to make its Asia debut!

Why does this story matter?
Singer Perry Farrell founded it as a touring festival in 1991 and the event is hailed for bringing multiple artists representing different genres under one roof. Lollapalooza is reportedly also the first of its kind festival to be "environmentally conscious." Apart from India, previous venues have included premier countries of the world, such as Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, France, and Sweden.

One of the most popular global bands and music sensations Imagine Dragons will perform for the first time ever in India! In addition to them, American rock band The Strokes, American DJ Diplo, Grammy-nominated star Zhu, American rock band Greta Van Fleet, English Indie rock band The Wombats, and American dream pop band Cigarettes After Sex will headline the festival, too! How exciting, indeed.
