Scorpions, regarded as one of Germany’s greatest hard rock bands are set to embark on the 'Coming Home' 2026 tour, marking the band’s much-awaited return to India after nearly two decades.


The tour, produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, will see the band start with their performance 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 at Jio Gardens, BKC.



The artist pre-sale begins on Wednesday, January 14 at 12 noon followed by an exclusive pre-sale of tickets on Thursday, January 15, at 12 noon. The General On-Sale of tickets goes live at 1 pm on Saturday, January 17, 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."

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, that saw India witness Tom Morello live in December.

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 over 80 countries.

Over the last 60 years, 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.
