If you’re a Guns N’ Roses fan, you might want to sit down because the band just packed a whole lot of big news into one announcement. Not only are they rolling out an enormous world tour for 2026, but they’re also dropping two brand new songs next week. For a band that rarely moves quietly, this might be one of their loudest reveals in years.
The tour follows their run of major shows earlier this year that took them across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. Judging by how fans turned out for those dates, it looks like they’re getting ready for an even bigger wave of crowds in 2026.
The European itinerary alone feels like a greatest hits route. They’re doing two shows in Poland, heading back to Dublin, and keeping their previously confirmed spot at the UK’s Download Festival. It doesn’t stop there. The schedule also includes shows in the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Belgium. For anyone overseas who missed them the last time around, this gives you plenty of chances to catch the band in stadium mode.
After Europe, they’ll jump back to North America for a stadium run that starts July 23 in North Carolina and wraps up September 19 in Georgia. If past tours are any indication, these dates are going to move fast. Stadium shows tend to turn into full-blown events for the band, and fans usually treat them more like a celebration than a concert.
To go along with all the excitement, they’re releasing two new tracks through Geffen Records on Tuesday, December 2. The songs are called Nothin’ and Atlas. These will be their first new releases since 2023. The band is expected to debut both songs live once the tour begins, which means fans will have time to live with the tracks before hearing them blasted through a stadium.
For longtime followers who have waited for fresh material, this is the kind of announcement that gets people talking. And pairing new music with a world tour is pretty much the perfect way to set up a massive year. With the band gearing up for new songs, huge crowds, and a packed calendar, 2026 is shaping up to be another major chapter in their legacy.
