Tour dates for Australia and New Zealand announced

Live Nation has today announced that powerhouse rock icons Guns N’ Roses, will return to Australia and New Zealand for a massive run of stadium shows this November and December. 

This follows their extensive 2025 tour across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, and continues an exciting new chapter with the release of two brand new singles— “Nothin’” and “Atlas” — marking the band’s first new music since 2023. Showcasing two distinct sides of the band’s creative range, “Atlas” delivers soaring rock urgency while “Nothin’” leans into keys-forward introspection and emotional guitar work.
The World Tour 2026 – Australia and New Zealand will kick off on Sunday 29 November in Adelaide at the bp Adelaide Grand Final followed by just announced dates – Wednesday 2 December at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville, followed by Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on Saturday 5 December, McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle on Tuesday 8 December, Marvel Stadium, Melbourne on Friday 11 December, then Sydney’s Engie Stadium on Monday 14 December before travelling to New Zealand for the final show on Thursday, 17 December at Eden Park Stadium in Auckland.
Guns N’ Roses endure as the most dynamic, dangerous, and definitive American rock band in history to this day. 
Embedded in popular culture, Guns N’ Roses’ landmark diamond-selling 1987 opus, Appetite For Destruction, stands out as “the best-selling U.S. debut album ever” and “the 11th best-selling U.S. album of all time.” Following its release, Guns N’ Roses shook the world with the one-two punch of the over 7x-platinum Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, clinching the top two spots on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart upon arrival. With total sales of 100 million units thus far, their catalogue also consists of G N’ R Lies (5x-platinum), The Spaghetti Incident? (platinum), Greatest Hits (5x-platinum), and Chinese Democracy (over 6 million worldwide). Not to mention, they are one of the most-streamed rock bands in the world with an average of 27 million monthly listeners on Spotify and in May 2024 were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for their 1987 debut album, Appetite for Destruction.
On the touring front, Guns N’ Roses legendary three-hour-plus shows encompass sought-after fan favourites in addition to newly dusted-off gems from their back catalogue, leaving ardent audiences in awe. Their blockbuster 2024 world tour sold 1.3 million tickets around the world and marked the band’s largest run to date. Consisting of acclaimed performances in stadiums and arenas alike, the tour included headlining festival dates at Glastonbury and London’s Hyde Park, while the North American leg included sold-out performances at historic venues such as the Hollywood Bowl and MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, as well as a co-headlining performance at Power Trip in Indio, CA with AC/DC & Metallica.
