Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma penned a welcome note for the rock band Guns N' Roses after they announced their return to India to perform in Guwahati and Bengaluru in November.
Assam CM expressed his happiness about the upcoming performance of 'Guns N Roses' in Guwahati, calling it the rise of Assam as a "live entertainment destination" globally.
In a post on X, CM Himanta wrote, "Delighted to welcome the legendary Guns N' Roses to Guwahati on November 17, 2026, bringing one of the world's most iconic rock bands to Assam. Following the historic success of Post Malone's concert, Assam's rise as a global live entertainment destination continues to gather momentum."
He added, "As fans travel from across India and beyond, they will experience Assam's hospitality, culture and vibrancy, while creating new opportunities for tourism and the local economy."
Rock band Guns N' Roses will return to India for two concerts in November as part of the Asia leg of their ongoing world tour. The band will perform in Bengaluru and Guwahati. The show is produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live and will take place at Nice Grounds in Bengaluru on November 14 and Khanapara Ground in Guwahati on November 17.

According to Variety, the tour comes alongside the release of two new singles, 'Nothin' and 'Atlas,' the band's first original recordings since 2023.
The tracks showcase contrasting registers, 'Atlas' built around driving rock urgency, 'Nothin' centred on keyboards and introspective guitar work.

I’m a bit skeptical about this "global destination" tag. While concerts are great, what about infrastructure and safety? Guwahati still has traffic issues. Let’s hope they prove me wrong. 🙏
Man, I grew up listening to them in college in the 90s. Never thought I'd see them in Guwahati. It's surreal. Assam should definitely host more such events. Good job, CM. 👍
Proud moment for us! 🎉 Khohi je pora asa, agora Ultaa bhaboni... But seriously, this will boost tourism and put Assam on the music map. Just hope the crowd behaves and doesn’t leave trash everywhere.
Okay, this is epic. But can we also talk about Bengaluru's slot? Both cities are great choices. Kudos to BookMyShow for pulling this off. Kinda wished they’d also come to Kolkata or Delhi, but still cool.
Yaar, ek sach: I’m a huge fan of Guns N' Roses, but I worry about ticket prices. They'll be sky-high for India, especially for Guwahati. Still, planning to go if I can afford it! 😅
