Guns N' Roses return to Mumbai after 13 years; fans slam 4km walk in queue to reach venue: 'What's the point of overcharging'

Guns N' Roses, the popular American band, is in India and is set to perform in Mumbai on Saturday, May 17, 2025, after 13 years. The band is going to perform at the MMRDA grounds. Indian rock band Girish and the Chronicles will be opening the show.

As the concert is taking place at Mahalaxmi Racecourse, the band will take to the stage at 6.45 pm, and the gates open at 3 pm. Amid this, there are several visuals that surfaced from the event on X (formerly called Twitter), showcasing a huge crowd gathered outside the venue.

Fans walked for about 4km in long queues to reach the venue

In one of the visuals, the massive crowd was seen waiting and walking for almost 4 km in long queues to reach the concert venue.

Some users took to X and shared their frustration, and one asked, "@bookmyshow, what's the point of overcharging and making us take VIP tickets and saying there's express entry if there's no proper dedicated lanes and you're making us walk 30 mins just to get to the security check #GunsNRoses"
