Lollapalooza was launched in the early 1990s by Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell
The festival has since expanded to Latin America, with versions in Argentina, Brazil and Chile, as well as Europe, starting with a 2015 iteration in Berlin
Its arrival in Mumbai marks the first time the festival has been staged in Asia, after branching out from its American origins in the past decade
Organisers said about 60,000 people were expected to attend over the two days
