The legendary musician will headline a three-city tour with performances in Gurugram on December 17 at HUDA Gymkhana, Mumbai on December 19 at MMRDA G-Txt Grounds and Bengaluru on December 21 at Phoenix Marketcity, Whitefield.
Tom Morello’s three-city India tour marks the first in a series of defining rock live shows under the banner of Bandland On Tour, an extension of Bandland, the rock and alternative music Intellectual Property (IP) of BookMyShow in the country.
Speaking ahead of his India tour, Tom Morello says, “India has always been on my map - a country with a passionate audience that has followed my music and message for years. To finally bring these songs to life on stage in India is incredibly special. Music is about connection, revolution and soul and I cannot wait to share that energy with fans in India this December.”
Naman Pugalia, chief business officer - Live Events of the online ticket platform, adds, “Live music in India is at an inflection point. Audiences are no longer passive consumers but active participants shaping its future. Rock, with its history of rebellion and reinvention, has seen a powerful revival in recent years. Tom Morello’s arrival builds on this momentum. His tour is a cultural statement, one that validates the depth of India’s audiences while marking another milestone in the evolution of live music in the country.”
Morello’s virtuosity has long transcended genre boundaries, fusing ferocious riffs with experimental sonic landscapes that redefined what the electric guitar could be. His career, spanning over three decades, has placed him at the vanguard of politically charged rock, with an oeuvre that blends activism, storytelling and innovation in equal measure.
