Scorpions return to India with ‘Coming Home’ Tour
MUMBAI: Scorpions, Germany’s greatest hard rock band, announced their Coming Home 2026 tour, marking the band’s much-awaited return to India after nearly two decades. Produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, the live entertainment experiential division of BookMyShow, the India tour marks a significant milestone for the country’s rock culture, underscoring the country’s growing prominence on the global touring circuit.
The band will perform in Shillong on April 21 at JN Stadium, Delhi-NCR on April 24 at HUDA Grounds, Bengaluru on April 26 at NICE Grounds and Mumbai on April 30 Jio Gardens, BKC.
The Artist Pre-Sale begins on Wednesday, January 14 at 12 pm (Noon) IST followed by an exclusive Pre-Sale of tickets for Kotak Mahindra Bank credit card customers on Thursday, January 15th, at 12 pm (Noon) IST. The General On-Sale of tickets goes live at 1 pm IST on Saturday, January 17, 2026, exclusively on BookMyShow.
Klaus Meine says, “We are incredibly excited to finally be touring India again after such a long time and are looking forward to meeting our many, many fans in India. The concerts will also be a very special experience for us.”
Rudolf Schenker says, “Sixty years after the band's founding, we're bringing our 'Coming Home' concert to India. It will be a unique celebration for our fans and for us.”
Matthias Jabs says, “Finally playing in India again – and on top of that our now iconic ‘Coming Home’ concerts – will be spectacular and unforgettable for us as well.”
Naman Pugalia, Chief Business Officer - Live Events, BookMyShow said, “Scorpions hold a singular place in the history of global rock, with music that has transcended generations, borders and cultures. Their return to India after nearly two decades is significant, not only for fans who have grown up with their songs but also as a reflection of how far India’s live entertainment ecosystem has evolved. This tour marks a watershed moment for rock culture in the country, celebrating music history, fan devotion and the enduring power of live performance. As India enters a new chapter with legendary global acts returning to our stages, our role is to help shape this landscape by creating meaningful connections between iconic artists and the audiences who have carried their music for decades.”
Scorpions’ four-city India tour continues the series of defining rock live shows under the banner of Bandland On Tour, an extension of Bandland, the rock and alternative music IP of BookMyShow Live, as it scales its footprint across the country.
With a legacy spanning over five decades, Scorpions are among the most influential and successful rock bands in history, having sold over 120 million records worldwide and performed across 80+ countries. Formed in 1965, the German rock icons have released 19 studio albums and played a defining role in shaping global hard rock with their anthemic sound and electrifying live shows. Their music has transcended generations, producing timeless classics such as ‘Rock You Like a Hurricane’, ‘Still Loving You’, ‘Send Me an Angel’ and the era-defining ‘Wind of Change’, alongside landmark albums including ‘Love at First Sting’, ‘Blackout’ and ‘Crazy World’, firmly cementing their status as one of the most enduring live acts in rock history.
Founded in 1965 by guitarist Rudolf Schenker, Scorpions have spent more than half a century refining a sound that balances melodic restraint with arena-sized ambition. The band’s relationship with Indian audiences has long been distinct. From packed arenas to college hostels, cover bands and late-night playlists, Scorpions’ music has endured in ways that feel personal rather than performative. Their return in 2026, framed as part of a farewell tour and following the release of their final studio album, lends the tour an added sense of reflection, less a victory lap, more a shared moment of closure.

The tour is supported by Meghalaya Tourism in Shillong with The Circus as Event Partner.
