Guns N’ Roses took to Instagram on Monday (December 9) to reveal dates and details of their 2025 international tour. The 24-date world tour will be GNR’s first concerts since November of 2023, and the shows will feature rotating support coming from hip-hop legends Public Enemy, California rockers Rival Sons, and the groundbreaking punk band Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter. GNR have caustically dubbed their tour, “Because what you want N’ what you get are two completely different things.”
The run of shows kicks off on May 23rd in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marking the band’s first ever concert in that country, followed by a show in Abu Dhabi on May 27. The European/UK leg of GNR’s world tour launches on May 30th in Shekvetili, Georgia, and finishes up on July 31st with a headlining set at Germany’s Wacken Open Air festival. Guns N’ Roses haven’t released a follow-up to 2008’s Chinese Democracy, but they have shared new singles over the last few years, including “Absurd,” “Hard Skool,” “Perhaps,” and “The General.” (Consequence of Sound)
