GUNS N’ ROSES has officially announced a massive 2026 World Tour along with the release of two brand-new songs, marking an exciting new chapter for the legendary rock band. The announcement was shared across their social platforms, and it instantly ignited worldwide excitement among fans who have been waiting for new music since 2023. After years of speculation, the band is stepping back into the global spotlight with a tour that spans multiple continents and a pair of fresh tracks that promise to reconnect the band with its massive fanbase.
The two new songs — “Nothin” and “Atlas” — will be released through Geffen Records on December 2. For fans who have been anticipating new studio material from the group, this is a milestone moment. The band’s last releases arrived in 2023, and although GUNS N’ ROSES has continually toured during recent years, new studio tracks have remained scarce. The announcement signals a creative upswing for Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, and the rest of the band.
A major announcement that marks a turning point
In their official statement, GUNS N’ ROSES expressed enthusiasm about both the scope of the tour and the music that accompanies it. They shared a short but impactful message on Instagram that confirmed the tour’s scale and gave fans their first opportunity to secure early ticket access.
The band wrote:
“We are bringing the 2026 World Tour to a city near you! Sign up now for official presale access at GN’R website!”
The call-to-action quickly spread across social media, and fans rushed to register through the band’s official website. The presale sign-up surge reflects just how much demand still surrounds the band — even decades after their debut.
The first new GUNS N’ ROSES music in years
The announcement that the band will release “Nothin” and “Atlas” adds an important layer to the anticipation. These tracks represent the band’s first new studio material in several years, sparking conversation among longtime fans who have followed the band’s evolving sound.
New releases from GUNS N’ ROSES are rare, making this upcoming drop significant. While the titles fell without additional details or teasers, the confirmation alone has already raised expectations for what could be a fresh chapter in their discography.
Importantly, the decision to release music ahead of such a major tour indicates that the band intends to make this run about more than nostalgia. Instead, they appear focused on blending their iconic hits with new material, reaffirming their place in today’s rock landscape.
A worldwide tour on an unprecedented scale
The 2026 World Tour stands out as one of the most extensive global tours GUNS N’ ROSES has planned in recent years. According to Louder Sound, the tour is set to launch on March 28, 2026, in Monterrey, Mexico. From there, the band will travel across multiple continents, headlining major festivals and performing at some of the world’s largest venues.
This ambitious itinerary signals the band’s commitment to reconnecting with fans across the globe. It showcases a renewed drive to celebrate their legacy while performing for new generations who have discovered the band through streaming platforms and modern media.
The size of this tour also reflects the ongoing demand for large-scale rock performances. As many classic rock bands begin to retire from the road, GUNS N’ ROSES is stepping forward with a tour that looks designed to dominate 2026’s live music landscape.

Why the announcement matters for longtime fans
For fans who have followed GUNS N’ ROSES since their explosive debut in the late 1980s, this announcement represents far more than another tour. It is a reminder of the band’s resilience, impact, and ability to bring their music to new audiences while maintaining the same raw energy that made them global icons.

With the return of new music and an extensive world tour, it is clear that the band still values its place at the forefront of live performance culture.
While details about the stage production and setlist remain under wraps, the band’s history suggests that the 2026 tour will likely feature a blend of classics like “Welcome to the Jungle,” “November Rain,” “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” and many more — alongside their newly released tracks.
A global tour with global impact
The 2026 World Tour will allow GUNS N’ ROSES to visit fans across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and other regions. The band’s ability to fill stadiums across continents proves how deeply embedded they remain in rock culture. Their influence stretches across generations, appealing to both longtime fans and younger audiences discovering them for the first time.
Moreover, the addition of new music before the tour ensures that their performances will feel fresh, modern, and relevant. This blend of classic rock power and new creative output helps solidify their legacy in a world where many bands from their era have slowed down significantly.
