Guns N’ Roses are gearing up for a world tour in 2025, with stops planned across Europe and the Middle East. This highly anticipated run will see the band perform in both new and familiar territories, bringing their iconic sound to fans worldwide.
The tour kicks off on 23 May in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marking the band’s debut in the country. Presented by MDLBEAST, a leader in Saudi Arabia’s evolving music scene, the opening show at the Kingdom Arena is set to be a landmark moment, setting the tone for the rest of the tour.
Alongside the Riyadh opener, the schedule features an eclectic lineup of supporting acts, including Public Enemy, Rival Sons, and the Sex Pistols with Frank Carter on select dates.
UK fans can look forward to performances at Birmingham’s Villa Park on 23 June and London’s Wembley Stadium on 26 June.
This ambitious tour will also take Guns N’ Roses to countries they’ve never played in before, such as Georgia, Lithuania, and Luxembourg, while revisiting some of their most celebrated venues.
Festival appearances are on the agenda too, with highlights including Firenze Rocks in Italy and Wacken Open Air in Germany. Each show promises its own unique energy, shaped by its location and lineup.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on 13 December at 9 am local time, with presales already underway for select audiences, including Mastercard holders in specific countries. Fans can find full ticketing information on the band’s official site.
With Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan leading the charge, Guns N’ Roses continue to define rock music. Their landmark 1987 album, Appetite for Destruction, remains a touchstone for the genre, featuring classics like ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ and ‘Welcome to the Jungle.’
