One of the most iconic rock bands of all time, Guns N’ Roses, just announced a massive 2025 European and Middle East tour, kicking off on Friday May 23, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, followed by the May 27 in Abu Dhabi at the Etihad Arena. Tickets are available Tuesday, December 10 at 9am with the band’s Nightrain Presale. The Live Nation presale runs from Thursday, December 12 at 9 am at www.livenation.me, ahead of the general on sale beginning Friday, December 13 at 9am on gunsnroses.com.

Accompanying the iconic L.A. rockers are Public Enemy, Rival Sons, and even The Sex Pistols (although Axl Rose will be standing in for original singer, Johnny Rotten, whose punk-or-die attitude has forbade him from ever yielding to the golden whip of a fat paycheck – fair enough, someone’s gotta stay true to the punk ethos).
Aside from the the two mentioned shows in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, there are no additional dates announced for the region, but perhaps that will change if tickets sell out quickly.
Fun fact: when asked about what modern pop song Slash likes the most, he mentioned Katy Perry’s California Girls.
