If you have been meaning to book for Guns N' Roses in India, the picture is now clear enough to plan around. The band plays two shows this November, and one of them is in a part of the country that has never hosted them.
The dates and venues
- Saturday, 14 November 2026: NICE Grounds, Bengaluru
- Tuesday, 17 November 2026: Khanapara Veterinary Ground, Guwahati
Both shows are produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, and general sale opened on 9 June 2026 at 11 am IST, after a fan-club presale. Guwahati is the band's first-ever show in Northeast India, as The Sentinel and other outlets noted at the announcement.
Who opens
The Indian support slots were revealed in mid-September, according to NorthEast India Connect. Girish and the Chronicles open in Bengaluru. The band is from Gangtok, Sikkim, is now based in Bengaluru, and plays 80s heavy metal and glam rock. The same report says they have opened for Guns N' Roses before, in Abu Dhabi in 2023.
In Guwahati the opener is Parikrama. The Delhi band formed in 1991 and has spent three decades mixing hard rock with Indian classical instruments like the violin and the mridangam. For a Northeast crowd, that is a very natural warm-up.
Tickets
Listings differ by outlet, so check BookMyShow for the live price. Esquire India reported entry tickets from Rs 4,000 in Bengaluru and Rs 2,000 in Guwahati, while Deccan Herald listed Rs 4,500 and Rs 2,500 onwards. Premium categories cost more, and prices tend to move as sections sell.
Why this tour feels different
The band last played India on 17 May 2025 at Mahalaxmi Racecourse in Mumbai, their first show here since their debut India tour in December 2012. Two cities, one of them new, is a clear sign that international rock tours are starting to look beyond the metros.
There is also new music to sing along to. The band released two singles in early December 2025, "Nothin'" and "Atlas", their first original songs in a while. Then expect the usual: "Welcome to the Jungle", "Sweet Child O' Mine", "November Rain" and "Paradise City" were all on the 2025 Mumbai set, as reported by IANS.
Rock in India is having a good year, and these two nights are the next big date on the calendar.
