Slash has officially confirmed that Guns N’ Roses will return to the road across the United States in 2026, marking the band’s first full domestic tour in several years.

Speaking with Eddie Trunk on SiriusXM, Slash shared that the upcoming run follows a year packed with international shows.

“We’ve been doing a bunch of international stuff all year, so we have to come back to the States — we planned for next year,” he said.

The announcement has fans buzzing with excitement, as Guns N’ Roses haven’t embarked on a major U.S. tour since before the pandemic era.

🎸 Sphere Las Vegas? Not Likely

When asked about the possibility of the band performing at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Slash expressed some hesitation about whether the high-tech venue would suit Guns N’ Roses’ signature hard-rock energy.

“It’s a great visual show, but I think in most cases it becomes more of a visual experience than a rock and roll show,” he explained. “It’s not really rock and roll friendly the way it’s set up.”

While the guitarist praised the venue’s immersive visuals, he suggested that the format doesn’t align with the raw, live-wire nature of Guns N’ Roses’ concerts.

🔥 Back to the U.S. Stage

Despite skipping the Sphere, fans can rest easy knowing that Guns N’ Roses will bring their trademark firepower and arena-filling energy back to American stages next year.

The 2026 tour is expected to feature a mix of the band’s greatest hits — from Welcome to the Jungle to Sweet Child o’ Mine — alongside potential deep cuts and surprises from their extensive catalog.
