- March 9, 2026
AceShowbiz - The legendary rock band Guns N' Roses is set to embark on their "World Tour 2026" with a series of stadium concerts throughout Australia and New Zealand this November and December.
Initially announced as a single headline show, the tour has now expanded into multiple dates across major cities. The run will kick off on November 29 at the bp Adelaide Grand Final in Adelaide. Following that, the band will perform at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville on December 2, then move to Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium on December 5.
Continuing their tour, Guns N' Roses will play at Newcastle’s McDonald Jones Stadium on December 8, Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on December 11, and Sydney's Engie Stadium on December 14. The Australasian leg will conclude with a show on December 17 at Eden Park Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand—a treat for Kiwi fans just before the holidays.
Joining Guns N' Roses on this tour will be Australian rockers Airbourne, who will serve as special guests throughout the Australasian dates. The tour is being produced by Live Nation, ensuring a high-quality concert experience for attendees.
This tour marks the band’s return to the region exactly four years after their previous Australasian dates in November and December of 2022, when they toured as part of the "We're F'N' Back!" stadium tour.
The 2026 world tour began earlier in 2025, covering Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. The announcement of the expanded Australia and New Zealand dates came on March 6, coinciding with the band’s recent release of two new songs, "Nothin'" and "Atlas." These tracks are their first new material since 2023’s singles "The General" and "Perhaps."
In a recent interview with Sylvia Alvarado from Las Vegas radio station KOMP 92.3, guitarist Slash expressed enthusiasm about having new songs to promote alongside a lengthy tour. He also confirmed that the band plans to perform a mix of both new and classic songs during their upcoming global tour.
The "World Tour 2026" is set to officially begin on March 28 at Monterrey, Mexico’s Tecate Pa’l Norte festival. It will then include summer dates across Europe and North America, followed by Latin American shows in spring.
Tickets for the Guns N' Roses concerts in Townsville, Brisbane, Newcastle, and Sydney will be available starting Friday, March 13 at 1pm local time. Melbourne and Auckland tickets will go on sale at 12pm local time on the same day.
