Expressing their excitement, lead vocalist Klaus Meine said, “We are incredibly excited to finally be touring India again after such a long time and are very much looking forward to meeting our many fans there. These concerts will be a very special experience for us.”
Guitarist Rudolf Schenker added, “Sixty years after the band was founded, bringing our ‘Coming Home’ concert to India feels truly special. It will be a unique celebration for our fans and for us.”
Echoing the sentiment, Matthias Jabs said, “Playing in India again, especially with our iconic ‘Coming Home’ concerts, will be spectacular and unforgettable.”
Commenting on the tour, Naman Pugalia, Chief Business Officer – Live Events, BookMyShow, said, “Scorpions occupy a singular place in the history of global rock. Their return to India after nearly two decades is deeply significant—not just for lifelong fans, but also as a marker of how far India’s live entertainment ecosystem has come. This tour is a celebration of music history, fan devotion and the enduring power of live performance.”
The four-city tour is part of Bandland On Tour, an extension of BookMyShow Live’s Bandland IP, which continues to expand its footprint across India by bringing defining rock and alternative acts to audiences nationwide.
With a career spanning over five decades, Scorpions are among the most influential rock bands of all time, having sold more than 120 million records and performed in over 80 countries. Since forming in 1965, the band has released 19 studio albums and delivered timeless anthems such as Rock You Like a Hurricane, Still Loving You, Send Me an Angel and Wind of Change, alongside landmark albums like Love at First Sting, Blackout and Crazy World. Renowned for their electrifying live shows, Scorpions remain one of rock’s most enduring live acts.
Founded by Rudolf Schenker, the band’s connection with Indian audiences has always been distinct—rooted in personal listening, college hostels, cover bands and generations of fans. Their 2026 return, arriving in the context of a farewell tour and following the release of their final studio album, carries a reflective note—less a victory lap, more a shared moment of closure with fans.
Kotak Mahindra Bank – Solitaire is the Title Partner, while Jack Daniel’s Merchandise is the Associate Sponsor for the Scorpions: Coming Home 2026 Tour – India. The Shillong concert is supported by Meghalaya Tourism, with The Circus as Event Partner.
