Legendary American rock band Guns N’ Roses is set to electrify Indian fans once again with their return after a 12-year hiatus. The iconic band, famed for classics such as “Sweet Child o’ Mine” and “November Rain,” announced their Mumbai concert scheduled for May 17 at Mahalaxmi Racecourse. This historic site, traditionally known for hosting horse races, will now reverberate with the powerful tunes of a band that has etched its name in the annals of rock history. The show is a significant event in the band’s expansive global tour that started earlier this May in South Korea and includes dates in Japan and the Middle East.

Anil Makhija, COO of BookMyShow Live, expressed immense pride in bringing such a monumental act to India, acknowledging that Guns N’ Roses have left an indelible mark on rock music history across the globe. This visit underscores the group’s status as one of the most enduring bands in rock, continuing to draw masses with their compelling stage performances and musical prowess.

Fans of Guns N’ Roses will witness the synergy of its longstanding members, including Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan, playing together. The reunion of these pivotal band members has revived the original essence of the group, reminiscent of their early years. The band promises a setlist filled with hits that have defined generations, providing a rich musical journey through their illustrious career. From the 1987 debut album Appetite for Destruction to newer tracks, the concert is set to be a nostalgic yet refreshing experience for attendees.

Ticket sales for the May 17 concert open exclusively to Kotak Mahindra Bank customers on March 17, with general sales following closely behind on March 19.
