Recent Tours & Music by Guns N' Roses
Last week, Guns N' Roses hinted at an upcoming tour announcement, as they showcased the phrase "World Tour" in their teaser video. Considering this, it's plausible they have additional dates lined up, potentially for a North American leg that they haven't announced yet. The band actively toured the U.S. throughout 2023 and performed a series of shows with The Black Keys in November 2023.
As the band reconciled in 2016, they put out a series of singles, such as the eccentric "ABSUЯD," "The General," "Hard Skool," and "Perhaps." These tunes exhibit a more assured band sound compared to their 2008 debacle, Chines Democracy, although the reformed Guns N' Roses has yet to capture our attention with their studio output. It's rumored that a new album is in the works, and hopefully, it surpasses the quality of their recent singles.
Footage from their recent live performances demonstrates they can still deliver an exhilarating rock experience, though Axl Rose's vocal performance can sometimes be hit or miss.
Axl Rose and Slash, the iconic members of Guns N' Roses, will be leading the hard-rock band during their 2025 tour, performing genres such as metal and rock. The tour, titled Because Two Different Things Are What You Want and What You Get, features 24 performances, including a headlining spot at the Wacken festival. Duff McKagan, another band member, will also be part of the rock tours in Middle East and Europe. In addition to Guns N' Roses, the tour will include acts like Public Enemy, Rival Sons, and the restored Sex Pistols with Frank Carter.
