Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Amritsar: As music increasingly shapes how India’s Gen Z travel with 77% planning trips around concerts and festivals in 2026[1], Airbnb is bringing fans closer to the culture they love. As part of its global live music partnership with Lollapalooza, Airbnb has partnered with actor, musician, and cultural voice Siddhant Chaturvedi to host Lolla India Like a Local, an exclusive Airbnb Original Experience in Mumbai.
Designed as an intimate, once-in-a-lifetime experience, that brings guests into the city that shaped Siddhant – through its neighbourhoods, food, music, and creative spaces – bringing to life the magic of everyday travel before ending the day at Lollapalooza India, experiencing the festival alongside him.
At the heart of this collaboration is The Mumbai Guidebook, a digital city guide curated by Siddhant Chaturvedi for travellers visiting Mumbai during Lollapalooza India 2026. Shaped by the city that inspired him, the guidebook features Siddhant’s handpicked neighbourhoods, local spots, and a selection of Airbnb stays that reflect the character of the city. With 76% of Gen Z travellers* in India saying they’ve visited a city for the first time because of a concert or festival, the guidebook builds on that curiosity – helping travellers extend their trip and experience Mumbai like a local.
Available to just four guests, the experience brings the guide to life – turning recommendations into real moments, stories, and shared experiences, at a time when discovery and rare moments are what drive travel for many Indians. With 62% of Gen Z travellers saying exploring a new city is their top motivation and 55% drawn by once-in-a-lifetime experiences* when travelling for a music event, guests will spend the day doing exactly that – starting with a meal at one of Siddhant’s favourite local food joints, followed by a curated heritage walk through Bandra’s historic Ranwar Village. The journey continues with an intimate jam session where Siddhant performs an original track inspired by the city, before heading to Lollapalooza India to soak in the music and energy together while catching a live act.
“Mumbai has shaped everything about me – from the music I make to the places I return to. Hosting this experience on Airbnb, and curating the Mumbai guidebook with them, was my way of welcoming guests into my version of the city – the neighbourhoods I love, the sounds that inspire me, and the everyday moments that make Mumbai what it is. Spending the day exploring together and ending it at Lollapalooza India feels like the perfect way to share that. I’m so excited for this super fun day!”, said the host Siddhant Chaturvedi.
This experience builds on Airbnb’s first-ever global live music partnership at Lollapalooza India 2026, which introduced a range of exclusive, festival-related Airbnb Experiences -from backstage access to artist-led sessions and behind-the-scenes tours – designed to bring fans closer to the music and culture they love
“At Airbnb, we know that travellers today are motivated as much by the chance to discover a new city as by a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said Amanpreet Bajaj, Country Head for India and Southeast Asia at Airbnb. “Moments like live music often spark that journey, but it’s the local neighbourhoods, hosts, and everyday experiences that make it memorable. With Lolla India Like a Local, Siddhant brings that to life, offering guests a rare opportunity to experience Mumbai through his eyes, combining music, culture, and the kind of local connection that Airbnb is known for.”
