Few bands loom as large in rock mythology as Guns N’ Roses. Now the Los Angeles icons are preparing to bring their stadium-sized spectacle back to Australia and New Zealand, with a newly announced run of shows set to land this November and December.

The tour arrives on the heels of an extensive 2025 global run across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, and signals another active chapter for the band. Alongside the tour announcement, Guns N’ Roses have unveiled two new singles, “Atlas” and “Nothin’,” marking their first new material since 2023.

The songs reveal two different sides of the group’s long-running creative engine. “Atlas” surges forward with widescreen urgency, built for the scale of stadium crowds, while “Nothin’” pulls back into more reflective territory, driven by piano textures and emotional guitar lines that highlight the band’s melodic instincts.

For Australian fans, the upcoming tour represents another chance to witness one of rock’s most enduring live acts. Frontman Axl Rose, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan continue to carry the band’s legacy forward, delivering shows that fuse decades of history with a relentless stadium-scale energy.

The Australian leg begins on 29 November in Adelaide, before moving through Townsville, Brisbane, Newcastle, Melbourne and Sydney, with the tour wrapping in Auckland. Along the way, crowds can expect a catalogue that stretches from the explosive swagger of the band’s early years to the newer material emerging from their latest recordings.

More than three decades since their rise from the Sunset Strip, Guns N’ Roses remain one of rock’s most durable forces. With new music landing and stadium dates locked in across Australia and New Zealand, the band’s engine still appears to be running at full speed.
