Guns N’ Roses announce India tour
If you missed Guns N’ Roses when they thundered through Mumbai last year, here’s your chance to make up for it. The legendary rock band is coming back to India in 2026, and this time they’re hitting two cities: Bengaluru and Guwahati. BookMyShow Live has officially announced the concerts, and fans are already planning their road trips.
The band, known for iconic anthems like ‘November Rain’ and ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’, will perform in Bengaluru on November 14 and in Guwahati on November 17 as part of their 2026 World Tour. This marks their second consecutive year in the country after the electric response to their 2025 Mumbai gig. Industry sources confirm that the shows are being produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, with ticketing details expected soon.
Bengaluru and Guwahati get rock treatment
Both cities are in for a treat. Bengaluru’s rock-loving audience has long waited for a major international act of this scale, while Guwahati is set to host the iconic band for the first time. The choice of venues shows how India’s live music scene is expanding beyond the usual metros. Insiders say the band’s team was impressed by the energy of Indian crowds during last year’s Mumbai concert, which led to this encore.
Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, and the rest of the current lineup are expected to deliver a high-voltage setlist spanning their decades-long career. With hits that defined an era, the shows promise to be a nostalgic trip for Gen X and a discovery for younger fans. Social media is already buzzing with fans sharing their excitement using hashtags like #GNRinIndia.
BookMyShow Live brings the legends back
BookMyShow Live’s chief business officer, Naman Pugalia, shared his excitement in a statement. “Some bands have shaped the history of rock music in the way Guns N’ Roses have, and their influence continues to resonate across generations of fans worldwide. Following the phenomenal response to their performances in India last year, we are thrilled to welcome them back for another unforgettable chapter in their journey with Indian audiences.” He added, “Their return is a testament to the continued growth of India’s live entertainment ecosystem and the country’s emergence as a vibrant cultural destination for world-class experiences.”
Guns N’ Roses originated in Los Angeles in 1985 and broke through with their debut album ‘Appetite for Destruction’ in 1987. Over the years, the lineup has seen many changes, but Axl Rose remains the sole constant member from the band’s formation. The current ensemble includes Slash, Duff McKagan, Richard Fortus, Dizzy Reed, Melissa Reese, and Isaac Carpenter. Fans can expect the raw energy and showmanship that have made the band a global phenomenon. As November approaches, keep your eyes peeled for ticket announcements – this is one rock concert you won’t want to miss.
