Guns N’ Roses Announce Monumental 2026 World Tour, New Music, and Historic Return to the Rose Bowl

After a massive 2025 world tour that saw Guns N’ Roses electrify fans across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America, the legendary rock titans are gearing up for yet another global trek. The band has officially announced a sprawling spring and summer 2026 tour, promising one of their most ambitious runs in years—complete with long-awaited new music and a milestone performance at the iconic Rose Bowl in Los Angeles.

The 2026 tour will kick off in late March and extend into September, touching down in Mexico, Brazil, Europe, the United States, and Canada. From festival headlining slots to arena multi-nights and stadium blowouts, Guns N’ Roses continue to prove why they remain one of the most formidable live acts on the planet.


A Global Itinerary: From Latin America to Europe and Back to North America

The tour begins on March 28, 2026, at Tecate Pa’l Norte in Monterrey, Mexico, marking GNR’s return to Latin American stages. The band will then embark on an extensive run through Brazil, performing in major cities including Porto Alegre, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Fortaleza, Salvador, and Belém do Pará. Several dates are tied to major festivals, such as Monsters of Rock in São Paulo.

After closing their South American leg in April, Guns N’ Roses will jump to the United States for two early May performances in Florida, including a festival appearance at Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach.

The European stretch of the tour launches in Poland with two shows at Gliwice’s PreZero Arena on June 4 and 6, followed by a highly anticipated stop at Dublin’s 3Arena on June 10. Fans in the UK will get their turn days later when the band headlines Download Festival, reinforcing their long-standing status as festival juggernauts.

The EU leg continues with two shows each in Amsterdam and Berlin, followed by dates in Antwerp and Paris, where Guns N’ Roses will perform back-to-back nights at Accor Arena on July 1 and 3.

From there, the band crosses the Atlantic once again for a massive run through the U.S. and Canada, covering everything from amphitheaters to baseball stadiums to NFL arenas. Cities on the itinerary include Raleigh, Saratoga Springs, Chicago-area Tinley Park, Toronto, New Jersey, Las Vegas, Kansas City, Edmonton, Vancouver, San Diego, and beyond.

The tour will conclude with a string of major U.S. shows in Arlington, Ridgedale, San Antonio, and finally Atlanta’s Truist Park on September 19, 2026, marking the official end of this monumental 31-date world tour.


A Historic Homecoming: Guns N’ Roses Return to the Rose Bowl After 30 Years

One of the most anticipated moments of the entire tour will be the band’s September 5 performance at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. This marks the first time Guns N’ Roses return to the legendary venue in over three decades—an unmistakable full-circle moment for the group and longtime fans alike.

The Rose Bowl has hosted some of the most iconic concerts in rock history, and GNR’s return is expected to be a defining night of the 2026 tour. Given the significance of the venue and the rarity of the appearance, demand for tickets is expected to skyrocket once they go on sale.


Ticketing Details and Fan Club Presales

Tickets priced between €98.25 and €128.25 (including booking fees) go on sale Friday, November 28 at 9 AM via Ticketmaster.ie for the Dublin show. A 12.5% service charge per ticket (up to a maximum of €10.50) will apply.

As always, members of the Nightrain Fan Club receive first access to tickets globally. Additional presales will roll out throughout the week, with times and availability varying by market. Fans are encouraged to check gunsnroses.com for detailed local listings and presale windows.

For Dublin concertgoers, the MCD Presale begins Thursday, November 27 at 9 AM, offering early access before general ticket sales open the following day.


New Music: “Nothin” and “Atlas” Arrive December 2

In conjunction with the Nightrain Presale, Guns N’ Roses are also set to release two brand-new songs, titled “Nothin” and “Atlas,” via Geffen Records on Tuesday, December 2. These tracks mark their first new material since 2023 and are expected to become highlights of the 2026 tour setlist.

The additions follow their previous releases “The General” and “Perhaps,” continuing what fans see as a long-awaited resurgence of fresh music from the band. While Guns N’ Roses’ classic catalog—from Appetite for Destruction to Use Your Illusion—remains the backbone of their live performances, audiences have embraced their newer material with growing enthusiasm.


A Timely Release: The Deluxe Live Era ‘87–’93 Boxset

The tour announcement comes on the heels of the band’s newly released deluxe boxset of Live Era ‘87–’93. The limited pressing includes remastered audio and refreshed artwork, offering a definitive revisit of the band’s explosive early years.

Though Live Era captures GNR at their youthful peak, its 2025 reissue feels perfectly timed. The band continues to command global stages with a ferocity that rivals those early days, proving that age has done little to dull their edge.
