GUNS N' ROSES officially launched the North American leg of their 2026 world tour on July 23 with a performance at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The 18-date run spans stadiums, arenas, and amphitheaters across the United States and Canada, concluding on September 19.

Key stops include MetLife Stadium, Allegiant Stadium, BC Place, Globe Life Field, Snapdragon Stadium, Busch Stadium, and a historic return to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena — the band's first performance at the venue in over 30 years.

The tour is produced by Live Nation and features a variety of VIP packages through VIP Nation, including premium tickets, a pre-show lounge, exclusive merchandise, and behind-the-scenes access.

The tour follows the release of two new singles, "Nothin'" and "Atlas," via Geffen Records, the band's first new music since 2023.

These tracks have been integrated into setlists alongside classic hits and deep cuts from their early catalog.

The deluxe reissue of "Live Era '87-'93" also launched, featuring remastered audio and updated artwork.

During the August 5 performance at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, country music artist Chris Stapleton made a surprise guest appearance, joining the band to perform Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door." Fan-filmed footage of the moment is available online.

The band, comprised of Axl Rose, Duff McKagan, Slash, Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, Isaac Carpenter, and Melissa Reese, has maintained a global presence through sold-out tours, including their 2024 world tour and 2025 global run that spanned Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.

Their 2024 world tour sold 1.3 million tickets and included headline performances at Glastonbury, London's Hyde Park, and Power Trip in Indio with AC/DC and METALLICA.

Their previous world tour, "Not In This Lifetime…", sold over five million tickets and ranked as the fourth-highest grossing concert tour of all time."
