Sikkim’s Girish and The Chronicles set for first Australia and New Zealand tour

Sikkim-based rock band Girish and The Chronicles are set to tour Australia and New Zealand for the first time this month, marking their debut run in the region and another step in the band’s growing international presence.

Emerging from Northeast India, the group has gained visibility on global stages over the past few years through international performances, festival appearances and collaborations. Their tour of Australia and New Zealand will make them the first English-language rock band from the Northeast to perform across the two countries.

The band drew international attention after appearing on a major global talent platform and has since shared stages with acts including Guns N’ Roses. Over the years, Girish and The Chronicles have performed in several countries across Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, steadily expanding their international audience.

Their live shows typically feature a mix of earlier material and tracks from recent releases. The band has also appeared on festival line-ups alongside groups such as Nazareth, Skid Row and Alter Bridge, contributing to their growing presence within the international rock circuit.

Frontman Girish Pradhan has also worked with several musicians in the global rock and metal scene. His collaborations include projects with Chris Adler, known for his work with Lamb of God and Megadeth, George Lynch of Dokken and Lynch Mob, and Joel Hoekstra from Whitesnake and Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
