The living legends of rock & roll, Guns N' Roses have expanded their Australian 2026 visit bringing their world tour to another five stadiums on the east coast.

After being revealed as the Sunday headliners at Supercars Championship Grand Final event in Adelaide in November last month, the American juggernaut will also headline stadiums in Townsville, Brisbane, Newcastle, Melbourne and Sydney this December.

The news also lands after the band's epic 2025 world tour that saw Axl, Slash and the gang perform concerts throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America.

The band will continue that world tour with further dates in Latin America, North America and Europe this year.

Guns N' Roses also released two new singles late last year: 'Nothin'' and 'Atlas' – marking the band's first new music since 2023.

From 'Sweet Child O' Mine', 'Welcome To The Jungle' and 'Paradise City', to 'November Rain', 'Don't Cry' and 'Patience', the Gunners have soundtracked some of the biggest rock music moments of the last 30-plus years.

Renowned for their three-hour concerts that encompass their entire catalogue, from the fan favourites to newly dusted-off gems from the distant past.

Diehards can expect to hear the likes of the aforementioned bangers plus 'Civil War', 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door', 'You Could Be Mine' alongside 'Mr. Brownstone', 'It's So Easy', 'Nightrain', 'My Michelle', 'Yesterdays' and '14 Years'.

Embedded in popular culture, Guns N' Roses' landmark diamond-selling 1987 opus, 'Appetite For Destruction' stands out as 'the best-selling US debut album ever' and 'the 11th best-selling US album of all time'.

The band's current line-up features original members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan, plus band stalwarts keys-pianist-percussionist Dizzy Reed and guitarist Richard Fortus alongside newer additions, Melissa Reese (synthesisers, keys) and drummer Isaac Carpenter, who joined the Gunners last year after a decade playing with Awolnation.

Aussie hard-rock metallers Airbourne will be the Gunners special guests at the east-coast concerts.

The Warrnambool group returned last year with 'Gutsy', the band's first new song in six years; bristling with attitude and intent, this is Airbourne on steroids, 'fired up & pissed off', and ready to take on the world.

Tickets on sale at staggered times on 13 March. Adelaide tickets are still available.
