Guns N’ Roses will return to the Rose Bowl for the first time in more than 30 years as part of a newly announced 2026 world tour, the band said in a press release Monday. The Pasadena date is set for Saturday, Sept. 5, 2026, marking a historic stop on a 31‑date run across North America, Europe, and Brazil.
The tour announcement, released by Guns N’ Roses and Geffen Records, follows the band’s sprawling 2025 world tour and coincides with the release of two new singles, “Nothin” and “Atlas,” scheduled for Dec. 2. The songs will be issued via Geffen Records, marking the band’s first new releases since 2023, and join “The General” and “Perhaps” in setlists alongside early catalog favorites. The announcement also comes days after Guns N’ Roses released a deluxe Live Era ’87‑’93 box set, described in the press release as a limited pressing with remastered audio and revamped art.
Tickets for the Rose Bowl performance and other North American shows will be available through a series of presales and general onsales. The Nightrain Fan Club presale begins Dec. 2 at 10 a.m. local time and runs through Dec. 3 at 9 a.m. local time. An artist presale follows Dec. 3 at 10 a.m., requiring sign‑up by Dec. 1 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
According to the press release, no codes are needed, access is tied to Ticketmaster accounts, and anyone who signs up can join. General onsale for North American dates begins Friday, Dec. 5 at 10 a.m. local time. Times vary by city; local listings are available at gunsnroses.com.
In Europe, the Nightrain Fan Club presale begins Nov. 25 at 9 a.m. local time, with general onsale starting Nov. 28 at 9 a.m. local time.
The tour will also offer VIP packages through vipnation.com. . According to the press release, packages vary but may include premium tickets, behind‑the‑scenes tours, invitations to a pre‑show VIP Lounge, limited‑edition merchandise, and more. Contents differ depending on the package selected.
The 2026 tour opens March 28 in Monterrey, Mexico, and includes festival appearances in Brazil and the United Kingdom, arena shows in Poland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and France, and stadium stops across the United States and Canada.
