The band will make a comeback on May 17 at Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse, which is usually used for horse racing. Live Nation, the band’s global tour promoter, is co-producing the Mumbai performance. Before lead vocalist Axl Rose’s reunion with Slash and Duff McKagan, the band’s most recent performance in India took place on December 12, 2012, at Gurgaon, outside of New Delhi.
