Olivia Dean looks all set to make her India debut as a headliner at Lollapalooza India 2027. The Grammy-winning British singer confirmed the news directly to fans, just days after teasing her India visit on social media. Her cryptic post had already sparked speculation about a possible festival appearance, and now, fans finally have their answer.
Fans who signed up through the link got their answer on Tuesday morning. Dean personally messaged them, writing: “I'm headlining Lollapalooza 2027!!” The message came with an artist-sale link and a code giving fans access to the first round of tickets.
Lollapalooza India is yet to unveil its official 2027 lineup. The organisers have not announced any performers so far, but Olivia has seemingly revealed her own spot on the festival bill before the official announcement.
Fans were quick to react after receiving the messages following their registration. One user on X celebrated the news, writing, "Get in Deanoooooooo. Olivia Dean at Lolla India 🔥🇮🇳." Another fan appeared almost unable to contain their excitement, posting, “do not tell me olivia dean is coming to lolla india, i will lose my mind.” A third fan joked about the timing, writing, “Olivia Dean in india and I'm gonna be too broke to attend lmao.”
Lollapalooza is already familiar territory for Olivia Dean. She headlined the third night of Lollapalooza Chicago in August 2026, drawing a huge crowd. The singer also had a special moment during her set when Sam Fender joined her to perform their collaboration Rein Me In.
Ahead of the Chicago show, Olivia admitted she was emotional about stepping onto the stage. After the performance, she shared a video from the set and opened up about what the journey around The Art of Loving meant to her.
Lollapalooza India will return to Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse for its fifth edition on January 23 and 24, 2027.

The ticket sale has already kicked off with a special pre-sale on August 30, while Early Bird tickets will be available from September 2. The rumored line-up includes Limp Bizkit, KATSEYE and more.

The festival has hosted acts such as Imagine Dragons, The Strokes, Sting, OneRepublic, Jonas Brothers, Green Day, Shawn Mendes, Louis Tomlinson, Playboi Carti and Linkin Park, along with Indian performers including DIVINE, Hanumankind, Prateek Kuhad and Bloodywood.
Olivia Lauryn Dean, who was born on March 14, 1999, in Haringey, London, has steadily made a name for herself with her mix of pop, soul, jazz and R&B. Her songs often revolve around love, relationships and the messy emotions that come with them, giving her music a warm and relatable quality.
