Popular Danish soft rock band Michael Learns To Rock, also known as MLTR, is returning to India for the third time.
MLTR return with the promise that they will belt out many "songs people know" along with tracks from their latest album Eternity.
The band starts its India tour with a performance on June 16 at JW Marriott Hotel in Mumbai.
Next they will perform in Delhi on June 17 at Hard Rock Cafe. Seen here Mikkel Lentz and Kare Wanscher from MLTR.
Then they will finally hit Bangalore on June 20 to perform at the Palace Grounds.
"This is our third time in India. We had performed in Bangalore and Chennai in 1995. And in 2004 we performed in Mumbai, Bangalore and Shillong," said guitarist Mikkel Lentz.
Lead Guitarist Mikkel Lentz welcomed at the J W Marriot Hotel in Mumbai.
Jascha Richter signs a plate as a souvenir.
"This time, the shows are smaller promo shows of only 40 minutes. However, we expect to see a lot of our fans and we are very excited to come back to India. I promise that a lot of the songs people know will be on the list," Lentz added.
It's been 20 years since MLTR played their first live-concert and have witnessed global sales of nearly 10 million copies since their debut album in 1991.
The three member band - Jascha Richter, Kare Wanscher and Lentz - are popular the world over for their song like The Actor, Sleeping Child, Someday, That's Why (You Go Away), Paint My Love, Breaking My Heart, Nothing to Lose and You Took My Heart Away among others.
Formed in 1988, the Danish band started with four members. In 2000, guitarist S ren Madsen left to embark on a solo career. At a time when most bands split at the drop of a hat, the three members of Michael Learns To Rock have stuck together and are still going strong.
MLTR has revealed that they love Bollywood films and Indian music.
"We love Bollywood films and Indian music, but can't remember any names. Please excuse our lack of memory. We would love to collaborate with great Indian artists and all suggestions are welcome," said Richter.
After their last album Eternity that released in January 2009, MLTR are now working on another album.
