Guns N’ Roses Announce 2026 Australian and New Zealand Tour
Guns N’ Roses are expanding their World Tour 2026 to include a series of stadium shows in Australia and New Zealand this November and December, with special guests Airbourne.
Guns N’ Roses' one-off concert in Australia has morphed into a full-blown stadium tour, much to the delight of fans down under.
The rock heavyweights are bringing their World Tour 2026 to Australia and New Zealand later this year for a series of open-air shows. The tour kicks off with the previously announced headline date on Nov. 29 at the bp Adelaide Grand Final in Adelaide.
Axl Rose and Co. will then head north to Townsville’s Queensland Country Bank Stadium (Dec. 2), Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium (Dec. 5), Newcastle’s McDonald Jones Stadium (Dec. 8), Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium (Dec. 11) and Sydney’s Engie Stadium (Dec. 14), before crossing the Tasman Sea for the final date on Dec. 17 at Auckland’s Eden Park Stadium.
Special guests on the Australasian tour are Aussie rockers Airbourne. The tour is produced by Live Nation.
The Rock Hall-inducted band will head down under precisely four years after their last tour of these parts, back in November and December 2022 for the Australasian leg of their We’re F’N’ Back! stadium trek.
The new leg, announced Friday, March 6, expands on a world tour that got underway in 2025 and visited Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. It also follows the release in December of two new songs, “Nothin’” and “Atlas,” their first new music since 2023’s one-off singles “The General” and “Perhaps.”
In a recent interview, guitarist Slash mentioned the excitement around promoting new songs alongside a long tour.
Slash also promised a mix of new and old songs on the upcoming 2026 world tour, which starts March 28 at Monterrey, Mexico’s Tecate Pa’l Norte festival, and includes dates in Europe and North America (summer) and Latin America (spring).
Tickets for the GN’R shows in Townsville, Brisbane, Newcastle and Sydney go on sale next Friday, March 13 at 1pm local, with Melbourne and Auckland on sale at 12pm local.
