Linkin Park is not exactly a band that was born just yesterday. Not that newly formed bands or artists are any less talented or even addictive. However,
as far as Linkin Park’s case goes, its ‘long life’ simply means that it has a fan history that goes back years. Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse witnessed the same firsthand, after the much-loved rock band ended up summoning the ‘OG’ fans! A video was shared on social media, which showed elderly fans- along with the rest- enjoying the concert. The clip instantly turned into a hit, with netizens hailing the fans and the band. Linkin Park finally came to India this year, where the band held its concerts in Mumbai and Bengaluru, as part of its From Zero World Tour. The Bengaluru concert was held on January 23, while the Mumbai concert was held on January 25. Social media is currently full of videos and wholesome moments that took place at the concerts at the Lollapalooza India 2026- thanks to fans and their love for the band. The above-mentioned video was also a part of this series of adorable videos, where fans’ love was at its finest. Apart from the elderly, the fan base also had people from other age groups- including kids who were with their parents- singing songs along with the band and the audiences. As soon as the video went viral, netizens began to react. Most loved how the elderly were enjoying themselves, while some ended up dubbing them “cool gramps”. Check out the viral video: “Love seeing people in their 60s vibing at Lolla,” the post read. The video was shared on Instagram by the handle ‘chiragchauhan5103’. The post was shared a day ago and pulled more than 57K views from netizens.
