The World’s Most Dangerous Rock Band is ready to stir up some trouble again.
Guns N’ Roses announced a 2026 world tour that will send them to stadiums, arenas, festival grounds, amphitheaters and performing arts centers all over the world from March through September.
That includes a pair of stops in New York and New Jersey. Here’s when and where you can find Axl, Slash and co. in the Tri-state arena on:
Saratoga Performing Arts Center
Saratoga Springs, NY
Sunday, July 26
MetLife Stadium
East Rutherford, NJ
Wednesday, Aug. 12
In addition to the globe-trotting tour, the 2012 Rock Hall of Fame inductees are slated to headline the 2026 Welcome To Rockville Festival in Daytona Beach, FL. Fellow headliners at the May 7-10 extravaganza include Foo Fighters, My Chemical Romance, Turnstile, Bring Me The Horizon, Five Finger Death Punch and many, many more.
And for those itching for new music, you’re in luck. GNR announced they’re dropping a pair of singles — titled “Nothin’” and “Atlas” — on Tuesday, Dec. 2. These tracks will be their first release since late 2023 when the band unveiled the jangly “Perhaps” and foreboding “The General.”
As for what to expect at these upcoming live shows, it appears the three-time Grammy nominees go all out when they take the stage. At a recent concert in Mexico City, the septet delivered a 29-song set including the hits you know and love including “Welcome To The Jungle,” “Sweet Child o’ Mine,” “Paradise City,” “November Rain” and their indelible cover of Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door,” according to Set List FM.

Guns N’ Roses new music
As noted above, Axl and the ensemble rolled out a pair of singles in 2023.
First up was “Perhaps,” a surprising blast of piano rock that marries the keys with a six string and Axl’s epic wail. In the years since the bluesy tune’s release, its worked its way into the set list. We recommend giving “Perhaps” a spin if you haven’t heard it yet; we’d argue this is a welcome departure for the group.
Four months after the release of “Perhaps” came “The General.” Moody, evocative and reminiscent of a Tool/Radiohead mashup, the slinky rocker takes a minute to blast off but once it does, the band ratchets the song to full-on, full-blown stadium anthem status. Don’t sit this one out.
And, don’t forget “Nothin’” and “Atlas” are on their way. We’re already counting down the hours to Dec. 2.
