Guns N’ Roses India Tour 2026 will bring together one of the world’s biggest rock bands and two prominent Indian acts when the American rock giants return to the country in November. Sikkim-origin hard rock band Girish and The Chronicles will open the Bengaluru show on November 14, while Delhi-based veterans Parikrama will support the Guwahati concert on November 17.
The two opening acts represent different generations of India’s rock scene. Their inclusion adds a strong homegrown presence to a two-city tour that will take Guns N’ Roses to Bengaluru and Guwahati. The concerts are being produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live.
Guns N’ Roses India Tour 2026 dates and venues
Guns N’ Roses will perform at NICE Grounds in Bengaluru on November 14 before travelling to Guwahati for the second show three days later. The Guwahati concert will take place at the Khanapara Veterinary Ground on November 17.
The Guwahati performance will also mark Guns N’ Roses’ first-ever concert in Northeast India. According to BookMyShow’s event information, the Guwahati event is scheduled to begin at 4 pm.
The Northeast debut gives the Guwahati concert particular significance for rock audiences in Assam and neighbouring states. It also comes as the region continues to attract larger touring productions and international music events.
Girish and The Chronicles return to the Guns N’ Roses stage
For Girish and The Chronicles, the Bengaluru date will represent another major opportunity to perform alongside Guns N’ Roses. The Sikkim-origin band previously opened for the American group during its 2025 India concert in Mumbai.
The band will bring its hard rock sound and high-energy live performance to NICE Grounds. Its announced repertoire includes “Rock ‘n’ Roll Is Here to Stay,” “Hush,” “Disintegrate” and “Generation Coward.”
The Bengaluru appearance also extends the band’s association with one of rock music’s most influential names. Girish and The Chronicles have built an international profile through performances and festival appearances outside India, making their return to a Guns N’ Roses bill another notable moment for the Sikkim rock scene.
Parikrama brings three decades of Indian rock to Guwahati
In Guwahati, veteran band Parikrama will take the opening slot. The Delhi-based group has been active for more than three decades and has developed a long-standing following among Indian rock listeners.
Songs such as “But It Rained” and “Open Skies” remain central to the band’s repertoire. Parikrama’s sound has also incorporated elements of Indian classical music, giving its performance a distinctive place within India’s rock history.
Its Guwahati appearance will therefore connect an established chapter of Indian rock with Guns N’ Roses’ first Northeast concert. For audiences attending the show, the opening set will provide a chance to hear a veteran Indian act before the international headliners take the stage.
A second India visit in two years
The Guns N’ Roses India Tour 2026 follows the band’s Mumbai performance on May 17, 2025, at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse. That concert marked the group’s return to India after more than 12 years.
Before the 2025 appearance, Guns N’ Roses had last performed in India in December 2012. The 2012 shows came during the band’s Chinese Democracy-era lineup, while the group later returned to the country with its current touring configuration.
The band’s catalogue includes landmark rock songs such as “Sweet Child o’ Mine,” “Welcome to the Jungle,” “November Rain” and “Paradise City.” Its 1987 debut album, Appetite for Destruction, became one of the best-selling debut albums in music history.
Two cities, two generations of Indian rock
The Bengaluru and Guwahati concerts will showcase two different strands of India’s rock movement before Guns N’ Roses headline each night. Girish and The Chronicles bring a younger hard rock identity shaped by Sikkim and the wider Northeast, while Parikrama represents a much longer chapter of India’s live rock culture.
For Guns N’ Roses India Tour 2026, the pairing also gives audiences an opportunity to experience established Indian acts alongside an internationally recognised rock band. With Bengaluru scheduled for November 14 and Guwahati for November 17, the two concerts will extend the band’s renewed presence in India while placing Indian rock musicians firmly on both bills.
