Lollapalooza’s third edition kicked off with an electrifying start at Mumbai’s Mahalakshmi Race Course, featuring an impressive lineup with artists like Shawn Mendes, Glass Animals, Zedd, and Cory Wong. However, the spotlight of the night undoubtedly shone on Shawn Mendes.
The Canadian heartthrob not only captivated the crowd with his soulful music but also won hearts with his deep appreciation for Indian culture and cricket. During his 90-minute set, Mendes donned an Indian cricket team jersey, proudly representing Virat Kohli. The audience went wild as he flashed a big smile, patting the back of his neck and addressing the crowd with excitement:
“India, I know you have a big, important cricket game tomorrow. Good luck. I hope everything goes well for you.”
This heartfelt message was a nod to India’s upcoming ICC Tournament final against New Zealand in Dubai, and Mendes’ show of support further solidified his connection with his Indian fans, making his performance even more memorable.
