Tom Morello Announces Three-City India Tour This December

American guitar troubadour Tom Morello from rap metallers Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave will make his India debut this December.

Morello will perform in Gurugram on Dec. 17 at HUDA Gymkhana, in Mumbai on Dec. 19 at MMRDA G-Txt Grounds and in Bengaluru on Dec. 21 at Phoenix Marketcity, Whitefield as part of Bandland on Tour, the new touring iteration of music festival Bandland.

Tickets for the tour, co-produced by Tom Morello and BookMyShow Live, will go live at 5 PM IST on Oct. 8, 2025, exclusively on BookMyShow.

Morello said in a statement, “India has always been on my map – a country with a passionate audience that has followed my music and message for years. To finally bring these songs to life on stage in India is incredibly special. Music is about connection, revolution and soul and I cannot wait to share that energy with fans in India this December.”

The guitarist is best known for his work with American rap metal pioneers Rage Against The Machine, whose songs were heightened by Morello’s frenzied, unconventional solos. When RATM called time on their career in 2000, Morello along with drummer Brad Wilk and bassist Tim Commerford joined hands with Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell to create Audioslave, ruling the global airwaves with a couple of acclaimed albums. In the years since, RATM had reunited and after Cornell’s passing, Audioslave was permanently disbanded. Among supergroups, Morello was also part of Prophets of Rage with Wilk, Commerford, hip-hop act Cypress Hill’s B-Real and hip-hop veterans Public Enemy’s Chuck D and DJ Lord between 2016 and 2019.

Morello took to protest folk music under the moniker The Nightwatchman in the early 2000s and began releasing solo music under his own name starting with 2018’s The Atlas Underground. Across three collaborative albums range from rock to metal to EDM and rap, featuring everyone from Bring Me The Horizon to Killer Mike and Big Boi, Eddie Vedder to Bruce Springsteen, Mike Posner and Idles.

Most recentely, Morello has released singles like “Pretend You Remember Me” and collaborated with the likes of Japanese act Babymetal on “Metal!!” and Italian rock act Maneskin on “Gossip.”

The tour adds to the growing number of international artists slated to perform in India this season, from hip-hop/pop artist Post Malone (who is also a Morello collaborator) heading to Guwahati in December, to guitar ace and singer-songwriter John Mayer playing a one-night-only show in Mumbai in January, and EDM artist Calvin Harris making his long-anticipated India debut with two shows in November.
