Lollapalooza India is dedicated to sustainability, inclusivity and accessibility through #LollaForChange. For a third year in a row, the festival grounds will include viewing platforms for patrons with disabilities and sign-language interpreters at the main stages and Lollapalooza India remains keen towards a more sustainable event through reuse, waste reduction and recycling. The festival's focus on inclusivity and green practices remains central to its mission, with BookASmile, the charity initiative of BookMyShow driving projects at Lollapalooza India 2024 like refurbishing and donating over 100 musical instruments to aspiring young musicians from humble backgrounds and Lollapalooza India promoting public transport use, with more than 30,000 festival attendees opting for eco-friendly travel, supported by campaigns like 'Take The Train' and partnerships with Chalo bus and Uber. The festival also spotlighted new Indian sounds and included a series of #RoadToLolla pre-parties across major Indian cities.

Festival attendees have praised the immersive brand experiences at Lollapalooza India, where engagement with participating brands is a highlight of the event. Known for its deep integration with top brands, Lollapalooza India has established itself as a festival that goes beyond music to create memorable interactions for fans. This year promises to continue that tradition, with global and home-grown brands like Budweiser 0.0 Non-Alcoholic Beer, Johnnie Walker Refreshing Mixer Non-Alcoholic and many significant brands returning for the third year in a row to support Lollapalooza India.
