Guns N' Roses to perform in Bengaluru and Guwahati in November 2026
Mumbai, June 8
The legendary band Guns N' Roses is returning to India after a year, and is set to perform for the first time in Bengaluru and Guwahati.
The band will take to the stage in Bengaluru on November 14, 2026, and in Guwahati on November 17, 2026.
Last year, the band performed in Mumbai on May 17, 2025 at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse. This marked the legendary rock band's return to the country after over 12 years. The gig was a part of the band's 2025 tour.
Prior to this, the band performed in India in December 2012 as part of their maiden India tour. At the time, the band was led by Axl Rose and featured the "Chinese Democracy" era lineup rather than the classic lineup with Slash. The concerts included staples such as Sweet Child O' Mine, November Rain, Paradise City, and Welcome to the Jungle.
Guns N' Roses was formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1985, as the result of a merger between local bands L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose. The classic lineup featured Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Izzy Stradlin and Steven Adler. Their 1987 debut album, Appetite for Destruction, became one of the best-selling debut albums in history, driven by hits such as Sweet Child o' Mine, Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City.
The band released the twin albums Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II in 1991. Their long-awaited album Chinese Democracy arrived in 2008 after years of development. Guns N' Roses were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, the same year they performed in India.

Honestly, after seeing them in Mumbai last year, I'm not sure if Bengaluru is ready for the chaos that the band brings. But good on the promoters for expanding to new cities. Just hope the ticket prices aren't absurd this time.
My dad grew up listening to them. He'll be thrilled! November Rain in Guwahati during November - how poetic. 😄
Classic lineup or not, seeing Slash on stage is a bucket list moment for any rock fan in India. The Mumbai show last year was epic. Bengaluru folks, get ready for Sweet Child O' Mine live. It'll be unforgettable.
Guwahati getting a Guns N' Roses show is huge for the region. Northeast always gets overlooked for concerts. Hope the infrastructure can handle it though - last time at some other events, parking was a nightmare.
Arre yaar, I was hoping they'd come to Delhi too. But can't complain - after 12 years, at least they're back in India. Just wish the setlist had some deep cuts, not just the greatest hits. Still, November Rain alone is worth the ticket price.
