Rock n roll is definitely alive here! We've had a thriving indie and metal scene for years. It's great that big festivals like Lollapalooza are giving it a global platform. Hope this leads to more international rock acts touring here beyond just the metros.

Fantastic to see such a positive reaction. But I do hope the festival organizers sort out the logistics better next time. The entry lines were chaotic and some food stalls ran out of water. The performances were top-notch, but the experience could be smoother.

As someone who grew up on rock music, this feels like a validation. For years it felt like only pop or EDM got attention. Yungblud's tribute to Ozzy was the highlight for me. Hope this opens doors for more diverse genres at major festivals.

The tickets were way too expensive for the average college student. I wish such events were more accessible. Happy it happened, but it feels like it's only for a certain crowd in South Bombay. Bring this energy to other cities too!
