Scorpions Return to India After Nearly Two Decades with ‘Coming Home 2026’ Tour
Legendary German hard rock band Scorpions have announced their highly anticipated return to India in April 2026, marking their first performances in the country since 2008. The four-city tour, titled Coming Home 2026, kicks off in Shillong—often hailed as India’s rock capital—and will feature the band’s timeless classics like “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” “Wind of Change,” “Still Loving You,” and “Send Me an Angel.”
Produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, the tour underscores India’s rising prominence in the global live music scene. Formed in 1965 by guitarist Rudolf Schenker, Scorpions have sold over 120 million records worldwide, released 19 studio albums, and performed in more than 80 countries. Their enduring legacy continues to resonate across generations, and this tour carries a special reflective tone as part of the band’s farewell phase following their final studio album.
Band members expressed immense excitement about reconnecting with Indian fans. Vocalist Klaus Meine said, “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.” Lead guitarist Matthias Jabs added that the ‘Coming Home’ shows in India will be “spectacular and unforgettable.”
