'80s Rock Band Makes Special Announcement Amid 2026 Tour
Guns N' Roses has announced its return to India with two special concerts this November, adding another major milestone to the legendary rock band's ongoing 2026 world tour.
The iconic hard rock group revealed the news through Instagram, telling fans: "India, we're back for two special nights this November! Bengaluru on Nov. 14 & Guwahati on Nov. 17. Get on the Nightrain for first tickets now. General on sale tomorrow at 11am."
The concerts will take place at NICE Grounds in Bengaluru on Nov. 14 and Khanapara Ground in Guwahati on Nov. 17. The shows are being produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live as part of the band's Asia tour schedule.
The announcement comes as Guns N' Roses continues an extensive global trek that has taken the band across Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand throughout 2026. The India dates follow the group's successful return to the country in 2025, which marked its first performances there in more than a decade.
For fans in Northeast India, the Guwahati concert represents a historic moment. It will be the first time Guns N' Roses performs in the region, expanding beyond the major metropolitan markets where the band has traditionally appeared.
The upcoming concerts are part of the Bandland on Tour series. Nightrain Fan Club members were given early access to tickets through a special presale, while general ticket sales opened shortly afterward.
Guns N' Roses last visited India in May 2025, performing in Mumbai. The band previously played Bengaluru and Mumbai during its 2012 visit. Their concerts have consistently attracted fans eager to hear classic hits such as "Welcome to the Jungle," "Sweet Child O' Mine," "November Rain" and "Paradise City."
The India announcement arrives during a busy period for the band. Just days ago, Guns N' Roses surprised concertgoers in Gliwice, Poland by performing the Appetite for Destruction track "Think About You" for the first time in nearly 20 years.
According to concert records, the song had not been performed since December 2006. The performance marked one of several changes to the band's 2026 tour setlist.
The Poland concert also featured tour debuts of "My Michelle," "The General" and "Sorry." Bassist Duff McKagan additionally introduced a performance of The Damned's "Neat Neat Neat" during his featured segment.
At the same time, Guns N' Roses is supporting the release of two new singles, "Nothin'" and "Atlas." The songs represent the band's first original recordings since 2023. While "Atlas" delivers a harder-driving rock sound, "Nothin'" takes a more reflective approach with prominent keyboards and guitar work.
The current touring lineup features Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, Isaac Carpenter, and Melissa Reese.
Since reuniting key members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan in 2016, Guns N' Roses has remained one of the most successful live acts in rock music. The band's celebrated Not in This Lifetime tour became one of the highest-grossing concert tours ever, while their 2024 world tour reportedly sold 1.3 million tickets.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1985, Guns N' Roses has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and remains one of the most influential rock bands of its generation. Albums such as Appetite for Destruction, Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II helped define hard rock music, while songs including "Sweet Child O' Mine," "Welcome to the Jungle" and "November Rain" continue to attract new listeners decades after their release.
With two more India dates now confirmed, fans in Bengaluru and Guwahati will soon have the opportunity to see one of rock music's most enduring acts as its worldwide tour continues through the end of 2026.
