Mumbai got a full-blown punk-rock welcome this week, and Yungblud made sure his India debut began exactly the way fans imagined: loud, chaotic and full of heart. The English musician, known for blurring the lines between punk, pop and rebellion, arrived in the city and instantly transformed the airport into an impromptu fan fest, setting the tone for what promises to be a wild Lollapalooza weekend.
Yungblud makes a thrilling entry in Mumbai
Dominic Richard Harrison, better known as Yungblud, landed in Mumbai on Thursday, January 23, ahead of his first-ever performance in India at Lollapalooza 2026. Sharing a video of his arrival, the singer announced his excitement with the caption, “India I’m here. See you Saturday night. Our story begins.”
He is scheduled to perform on Saturday, January 24, from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm at Mumbai’s iconic Mahalaxmi Racecourse.

The moment he stepped out of the airport, it was clear Yungblud wasn’t prepared to keep things low-key. Visibly overwhelmed by the crowd waiting to greet him, he jumped, shouted and soaked in the love from fans. In the video titled “First time in India, Namaste”, the punk rocker can be heard yelling, “This is fucking crazy. Holy shit, India, let’s go; we are here.”
What followed felt less like an arrival and more like a celebration. Yungblud hugged fans tightly, kissed a few on the forehead and cheeks, signed T-shirts and even body parts and broke into spontaneous dancing near the parking area. His raw excitement and unfiltered energy only fuelled the frenzy, making fans even more impatient to see him take the stage.
