In a moment that’s sure to send shockwaves through the rock world, Guns N’ Roses have officially declared that they will embark on their final worldwide tour in 2026, urging fans to “join us one last time” as the rock legends prepare to bring the curtain down. The tour, aptly titled the “Paradise City” Tour, promises to be a massive, heartfelt celebration of one of rock’s most explosive and enduring bands.
A Farewell With Fire
For decades, Guns N’ Roses have been synonymous with chaotic energy, blistering guitar riffs, and stadium-filling anthems. Hits like “Welcome to the Jungle”, “Sweet Child O’ Mine”, and the titular “Paradise City” have defined generations of rock fans. And now, at the height of their global legacy, the band is choosing to take the spotlight one final time. Axl Rose put it plainly:
“This is for the fans who’ve been with us since day one… We’ve lived this life together — through every storm, every city, every night on stage. Now it’s time to celebrate it one last time.”
Guitar-icon Slash added a note of reflection:
“Guns N’ Roses was never about playing it safe – we were about going all in, every night, no matter what. This final tour is our way of doing that one more time, with everything we’ve got.”
Global Stadiums, Legendary Moments
The “Paradise City” tour is no small affair. It’s designed to span continents beginning where the band’s fire was lit: in Los Angeles — and rolling into major cities across North America, Europe, South America, Asia and Australia.
Here are just a few of the confirmed cities and dates (with more to follow):
May 15, 2026 — Los Angeles, CA (SoFi Stadium)
May 22, 2026 — New York City, NY (MetLife Stadium)

This is rock-legend scale: stadiums filled to the brim, arena-shaking sound, and an entire career condensed into one last spectacular ride.
What to Expect On-Stage
If you’re planning to be there, know this: Guns N’ Roses are promising everything. Nostalgia. Chaos. Fire. Tears. Triumphant roars. Expect their full catalogue of crowd-pleasers, surprise deep cuts, and maybe even special guests from the band’s storied past.
According to sources, select shows will feature:
Orchestral arrangements of “November Rain” in certain cities.
Axl back at the piano for emotional ballads.
Potential appearances from former members like Izzy Stradlin and Steven Adler to give fans a true send-off.
The stage production is expected to be massive: pyrotechnics, giant LED screens, nostalgic footage, the works. It’s not just a concert: it’s a spectacle.
Why Now? Why the End?
So why is the band stopping? The truth is, after more than four decades of performing, recording, uproar, reinvention and world-tours, Guns N’ Roses are choosing to draw the line while still champions of the game. The band cite fatigue, decades of rock-and-roll excess, and a desire to go out on their own terms.
At this point, they’re not fading out — they’re going out on a high. And they’re doing it for you, the fans, who have carried their riffs, voices and attitude around the world.
For the Fan Who’s Been There From Day One
If you’ve ever raised a fist at a “Welcome to the Jungle,” sung “Sweet Child O’ Mine” at full throat, or watched Slash’s hat cast a shadow that defined a generation — now is the time. This is it. One last chance to be part of something historic.
The band’s statement resonates with gratitude:
“It’s been a wild ride, and we’re thankful to all the fans who’ve supported us through the years.”
For the Tickets & Logistics
Tickets are expected to go on sale soon, with pre-sale access for fan-club members and VIP packages offering meet-and-greets, exclusive merch and premium seating.
Given the magnitude of this tour — and the fact it’s the final one — expect high demand and sold-out venues fast.
International travellers (hello Nigeria and Africa!) should monitor currency conversion, travel logistics and visa/entry requirements, especially for shows like London, Paris, Tokyo or São Paulo.
Final Words
Rock doesn’t get many closer than this: one of the most influential bands of the modern era saying thank you, one last time. The “Paradise City” Tour isn’t just about the music—it’s about legacy, closing chapters, and letting the amps roar one final time.
If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing Guns N’ Roses live in all their glory — this is your shot. No looking back. No “maybe next time.” Because next time? There won’t be one.
So raise your
lighters. Crank the volume. Lock down your tickets. Because this is it. The final ride.
