Guns N’ Roses Announce 2026 North American Tour Dates

Following an extensive global tour in 2025 that spanned Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America, Guns N' Roses is set to embark on another major run in 2026, returning to North America and visiting other international territories. A highlight of the upcoming tour will be a special performance at the iconic Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. This legendary Los Angeles venue, which has hosted everything from World Cup finals to Super Bowls, provides a fittingly grand stage for the band's explosive live show.

Ticket access for the North American leg begins with a dedicated Guns N' Roses Artist Presale on Wednesday, December 3rd, at 10 a.m. local time. Registration for this presale must be completed by Monday, December 1st, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Globally, the first opportunity to secure tickets will be granted to members of the band's official Nightrain Fan Club. In a move that rewards their most dedicated followers, the fan club presale will coincide with the release of two new songs, "Nothin'" and "Atlas," which will be available via Geffen Records on Tuesday, December 2nd. This strategy of pairing new music with tour announcements is a classic industry tactic to re-energize the fanbase and generate excitement.

The 2026 itinerary is packed with stadiums, arenas, and festival appearances across the globe. The tour kicks off in Latin America in late March, with multiple stadium shows in Brazil, including performances at Rio de Janeiro's Engenhao and the Arena Castelão in Fortaleza. The band then moves to Europe for a summer run, headlining major festivals like the UK's Download Festival at Donington Park and playing multi-night stands in cities like Amsterdam at the Ziggo Dome and Berlin at the Uber Arena.

The North American leg commences in late July, weaving through a mix of amphitheaters and massive stadiums. Key stops include Toronto's Rogers Centre, New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, and a finale at Atlanta's Truist Park. Guns N' Roses, formed in Los Angeles in 1985, remains one of the world's best-selling bands of all time, with their 1987 debut 'Appetite for Destruction' having sold over 30 million copies. As one industry analyst noted, "Their ability to consistently sell out stadiums decades after their peak is a testament to the timeless, raw power of their music and the legendary status of the original lineup's reunion."
