Guns N’ Roses will extend their ongoing resurgence with a major 2026 world tour, following an extensive 2025 schedule that returned the group to Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. The new run will begin in Mexico in March, continue through Brazil with a full sweep of major cities, then move into Europe, before reaching stadiums and arenas across the United States and Canada. The tour will culminate in a significant homecoming at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, marking the band’s first performance at the historic venue in more than three decades.
The announcement adds momentum to a reunion era that began in 2016 and has since grown into one of the most commercially successful returning acts of the 21st century. The classic-era line-up of Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan continues to anchor the tour, supported by long-time collaborators who have sustained the band’s live power through multiple world treks.
North American fans can register for the artist presale, scheduled for Wednesday, 3 December at 10am local time. Registration closes on Monday, 1 December at 11.59pm ET, and access is tied directly to Ticketmaster accounts, removing the need for codes. Nightrain fan club members will receive the earliest access to tickets in all markets. Additional presales will take place through the week, with local details available via the band’s website.
North American shows will offer multiple VIP packages that include premium seating, access to a pre-show lounge, behind-the-scenes opportunities and exclusive tour merchandise. Package inclusions will vary by tier.
Guns N’ Roses will release two new tracks, Nothin’ and Atlas, via Geffen Records on Tuesday, 2 December. These will mark the first new songs since 2023’s The General and Perhaps. Both songs originate from the Chinese Democracy sessions, a prolific period that produced a considerable volume of unreleased material that has gradually surfaced through post-reunion singles.
Atlas is understood to be a reworked version of the long-circulating Atlas Shrugged demo, a track admired by fans for its melodic guitar lines and atmospheric vocal approach. Nothin’ has been mentioned publicly only once, when McKagan referenced the song during a Fender demonstration earlier in the year.
The two new tracks join Absurd, Hard Skool, Perhaps and The General as the band’s post-reunion material. Slash has acknowledged that extensive recordings exist, although the group has not confirmed plans for a full-length album.
The tour announcement follows the recent release of the deluxe Live Era ’87-’93 boxset, a limited pressing that features remastered audio and updated artwork. The collection documents the band’s rise from Los Angeles clubs to global stadiums, a progression that reshaped hard rock in the early 1990s with Appetite For Destruction and the Use Your Illusion albums.
Guns N’ Roses’ ability to mix early favourites with deeper catalogue material remains a central attraction, and the addition of new songs has become a hallmark of their modern setlists.
