Can you still feel the first time you heard **"Wind of Change"** or **"Rock You Like a Hurricane"**—those riffs that made you turn the volume all the way up and forget everything else for a few minutes? If that memory hits hard, here's news that might hit even harder: **German rock legends Scorpions are officially coming back to India after nearly two decades**, with a four-city tour that feels less like a concert announcement and more like a long-overdue homecoming.[1] The band has confirmed their **'Coming Home 2026'** tour, bringing their 60-year legacy back to Indian stages in **April 2026**.[1][4] This is their first India visit since **2008**, making it an 18-year wait for fans who have been blasting their songs in college hostels, rock pubs, and late-night playlists all this time.[1][4] ### Where Scorpions will perform in India According to BookMyShow Live and the official tour listing, Scorpions will play in **four major Indian cities** as part of their **60th Anniversary – Coming Home World Tour**:[1][4][5] - **Shillong** – April 21, 2026 – *Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (JN Stadium)*[1][4][5] - **Delhi NCR** – April 24, 2026 – *HUDA Grounds*[1][4][5] - **Bengaluru** – April 26, 2026 – *NICE Grounds*[1][4][5] - **Mumbai** – April 30, 2026 – *Jio World Garden, BKC*[1][4][5] The India leg opens in the hills of **Shillong** and closes in the bustle of **Mumbai**, solidifying India as a key stop on their global touring map once again.[1] ### Why this tour matters so much Scorpions aren't just another classic rock band passing through. - They were **founded in 1965** by guitarist **Rudolf Schenker**, and have spent over half a century refining a sound that blends melody with arena-sized power.[4] - Their songs—especially **"Wind of Change"** and **"Rock You Like a Hurricane"**—have become part of rock history, soundtracking political shifts, personal milestones, and countless memories around the world.[4] - In India, their connection is particularly personal: from tribute bands to hostel jam sessions, their music has lived on even in years when the band was nowhere near an Indian stage.[4] This isn't just another leg of a tour—it's framed as part of a **farewell phase**, following the release of their final studio work, giving these shows a sense of **reflection and closure rather than just nostalgia**.[4] Schenker himself has called it a **celebration**, marking 60 years of the band with a tour that means as much to them as it does to their fans.[1] Frontman **Klaus Meine** has said they are *"incredibly excited to finally be touring India again after such a long time"* and that the concerts will be **"a very special experience"** for both band and fans.[4] Lead guitarist **Matthias Jabs** has promised that bringing the now-iconic *Coming Home* concerts to India will be *"spectacular and unforgettable."*[1] ### What to expect from the shows While the exact setlist is under wraps, fans can realistically hope for: - The big anthems: **"Wind of Change," "Still Loving You," "Rock You Like a Hurricane," "Holiday"** - Deeper cuts from across their 60-year catalogue - A production that matches their **arena-rock reputation**—big sound, big lights, and plenty of sing-along moments With India back on their world tour schedule and BookMyShow Live handling production and ticketing, these nights are clearly being built as **large-scale, high-stakes rock events**.[1][4] --- If Scorpions were part of the soundtrack of your school, college, or early working days, this tour is your chance to turn those private memories into a shared, stadium-sized moment—possibly for the last time. **Now over to you:** - Are you planning to catch them in **Shillong, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, or Mumbai**? - Which Scorpions song do you *need* to hear live? Share your answer in the comments, tag that friend you used to blast Scorpions with, and pass this post along to every rock fan you know—because no one who grew up on this band should find out *after* the tickets are gone.
