Lollapalooza India has created a buzz among buzz with the announcement of the exciting 2026 line-up of global artists. The line-up includes rappers Playboi Carti and Yungblud.

The rappers are set to headline the music festival on January 24 and January 25, 2026. While most of the fans have already identified the rappers, some of them are wondering about their famous songs.

Playboi Carti

American rapper and singer Playboi Carti, whose real name is Jordan Terrell Carter, hails from Atlanta, Georgia. He rose to stardom with his self-titled 2017 mixtape. The tape featured some of the hit singles like Magnolia and Wokeuplikethis (with Lil Uzi Vert), both charting on the Billboard Hot 100.

Playboi Carti is known for his eccentric vocal style and fashion. He is also considered an influential figure in modern hip hop.

He has delivered several chart-topping songs, like his 2018 studio album, Die Lit, which earned the number 3 spot at the  Billboard 200. The singer’s song, Whole Lotta Red, his 2020 follow-up, shot straight to the top.

His reputation as a boundary-pushing artist was cemented when his most recent album, Music (2025), once again peaked at number one on the Billboard 200.
The rapper showcased his experimental fusion of trap, EDM, and "rage-rap" styles.

Yungblud 

British singer-songwriter and rapper Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, originally hails from Doncaster, England. The rapper became a breakout sensation after his 2019 tracks like Loner and 11 Minutes, featuring Halsey and Travis Barker, became huge hits.

He is known for blending alt-rock, punk, hip-hop, and pop. He has established himself as producing raw, emotional, and genre-defying music.

Yungblud has also delivered some of the popular singles from his 2025 album Idols, including Zombie, a moving pop-rock ballad with orchestral strings and a Florence Pugh-starring music video that examines insecurity and self-image.
