Guns N Roses Return to India for Two November Shows as Part of Asia Tour
BookMyShow Live is producing and promoting the events, and Naman Pugalia, chief business officer for live events at the company, said the band’s influence continues to resonate across generations of fans worldwide. “Their return is a testament to India’s growing live‑entertainment ecosystem,” Pugalia told reporters. He added that Bengaluru has earned a reputation as India’s rock capital, while Guwahati’s inclusion highlights the potential of emerging markets and the appetite for large‑scale live entertainment in the region.
The Asia tour follows a successful run in Europe. In June, Guns N’ Roses headlined the Download Festival in the United Kingdom and played two shows in Amsterdam on 18 and 20 June. Prior to that, the band performed in Berlin, Antwerp and Paris before heading to North America.
The North‑American leg kicks off on 23 July in Raleigh at Carter–Finley Stadium and will include stops in Toronto, East Rutherford, Las Vegas, Vancouver, San Diego and San Antonio. The tour concludes on 19 September in Atlanta at Truist Park.

These November concerts mark the band’s second visit to India in the last two years, following a 2025 performance. The shows are part of a broader strategy to bring world‑class rock acts to Indian audiences, a move that aligns with BookMyShow Live’s goal of positioning India as a vibrant cultural destination.
The choice of venues reflects the band’s history of playing large outdoor events. NICE Grounds in Bengaluru is a well‑known venue for major concerts, while Khanapara Veterinary Ground in Guwahati is a new location for the band, making the Guwahati show the first Guns N’ Roses performance in Northeast India.
The Asia leg of the tour is scheduled to run through November, with the two Indian dates positioned between the European and North‑American stops. This sequencing allows the band to maintain a continuous touring schedule while reaching audiences across multiple continents.
BookMyShow Live’s involvement includes ticket sales, venue management and on‑site promotion. The company’s statement highlights the growing demand for live rock events in India, citing the successful response to the band’s 2025 shows.
The concerts are expected to attract large crowds, given the band’s enduring popularity and the high profile of the venues. Ticketing information, including pricing and pre‑sale details, is available through BookMyShow’s platform.
The band’s current lineup—comprising Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Richard Fortus, Isaac Carpenter, Dizzy Reed and Melissa Reese—has performed extensively on the world tour, delivering classic tracks such as “Sweet Child o’ Mine” and “Welcome to the Jungle.”
The November shows will likely feature a setlist that spans the band’s catalog, reflecting their history from the 1987 debut album Appetite for Destruction to the 2016 Not in This Lifetime tour.
The concerts also represent a milestone for the Indian live‑event market, which has seen increased investment and audience growth in recent years. The partnership between Guns N’ Roses and BookMyShow Live demonstrates the viability of large‑scale international acts in Indian cities beyond the traditional markets.
In summary, Guns N’ Roses will play two headline concerts in India on 14 and 17 November 2026, as part of the Asia leg of their world tour. The shows are produced by BookMyShow Live and follow a European tour that included the Download Festival and multiple European cities. The North‑American leg will begin in July and conclude in September. Fans can purchase tickets and find further information on the band’s official website and BookMyShow’s platform.
