“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,” said vocalist Klaus Meine.
Guitarist Rudolf Schenker described the tour as a milestone, saying, “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.”
Guitarist Matthias Jabs added, “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 for live events at BookMyShow, said the band’s return reflects India’s growing stature on the global touring circuit. “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,” he said.
The India leg forms part of Bandland On Tour, an extension of BookMyShow Live’s Bandland property focused on rock and alternative music, as it expands across the country. The tour is supported by Meghalaya Tourism in Shillong, with The Circus as the event partner.
