Shawn Mendes wows fans at Lollapalooza India 2025 with energetic performance and support for Indian cricket team.
For one-and-half hours, international pop sensation Shawn Mendes kept music aficionados engaged with his energetic performance at the Lollapalooza India 2025 music festival and even extended his support to the men's Indian cricket team ahead of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy final against New Zealand.
The first day of the two-day music gala, known for bringing together a diverse mix of global music talents, certainly made its mark, saw Mendes serve a perfect finale performance on Saturday (March 8, 2025) at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse in South Mumbai.
Kicking off his set around 8.30 pm, the Canadian singer entered the stage in a casual T-shirt and pants, before quickly switching to the Indian cricket team's blue coloured jersey with 'Virat' and the number '18 written on the back as a hat-tip to the popular batter.
This thoughtful gesture sent a wave of excitement into the crowd, whose chants of "Kohli…Kohli…Kohli" filled the air.
“India, I know you have a match tomorrow. Good luck. I hope it goes well,” Mendes said amid loud cheers from fans.
