Guns N’ Roses Launch “Legacy Tour 2025” — Their First Major Reunion Tour Since 2007

After years of speculation and scattered performances, legendary hard rock band Guns N’ Roses has officially announced their 2025 reunion tour — an extensive, highly anticipated global trek titled “The Guns N’ Roses Legacy Tour 2025.” This marks the group’s first full-scale tour together since 2007 and promises to be a defining moment not only for long-time fans but for the rock music world at large.

The tour is set to kick off with a thunderous start on May 30, 2025, at the state-of-the-art SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, a fitting location considering the band’s deep roots in the L.A. rock scene of the 1980s. From there, the band is expected to travel across North America, Europe, Asia, and select cities in South America, performing in major stadiums and iconic arenas, bringing their explosive live act to millions of fans around the world.

A Reunion Years in the Making

Although various incarnations of the band have performed intermittently over the past two decades, this tour will mark the first time since the mid-2000s that core members Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan share the stage on a full-fledged tour. After reuniting for a handful of surprise performances and festival appearances in recent years, including a brief set at Coachella and a guest-laden show at Madison Square Garden, the trio has finally committed to a large-scale global tour.

The announcement ends years of rumors and speculation. For over a decade, fans have wondered whether the classic lineup would ever hit the road again. Now, that dream is becoming a reality — and according to insiders, the band is sounding tighter than ever.

A Setlist Spanning Decades

The “Legacy Tour 2025” promises to deliver a comprehensive journey through the band’s rich musical catalog, with a setlist expected to include songs from their groundbreaking 1987 debut album, Appetite for Destruction, as well as hits from Use Your Illusion I & II, and deeper cuts from later albums like Chinese Democracy. Fans can expect to hear classics like “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Paradise City,” “November Rain,” and “Don’t Cry”, alongside live rarities and even a few unreleased tracks teased in recent rehearsals.

Rumors are already swirling that the band may also debut new material during the tour, with sources close to the group suggesting that several tracks have been recorded in recent months.

Guest Appearances and Opening Acts

While the band has not yet released full details about opening acts for each stop, early word hints at an eclectic lineup of supporting artists. From legacy acts in the rock world to contemporary hard rock and metal bands influenced by GN’R’s sound, the tour is shaping up to be not just a concert, but a celebration of rock music across generations.

There are also whispers of surprise guest appearances throughout the tour. Fans are hopeful that former members like Steven Adler and Izzy Stradlin might make appearances in select cities — a possibility that has not been ruled out.

A Monumental Production

Guns N’ Roses is known for their larger-than-life stage shows, and the 2025 tour will be no different. Industry insiders describe a “monstrous” production setup featuring state-of-the-art visuals, pyrotechnics, multi-level stages, and immersive lighting designed to bring the band’s signature sound to life in epic fashion.

Rehearsals have reportedly been underway since early 2025, with the band and production team working to create a show that reflects the band’s storied past while pushing the limits of what a rock concert can be in the modern era.

A Momentous Occasion for Fans

For diehard fans, this tour isn’t just a concert — it’s a celebration of a band that has influenced generations and redefined hard rock. Guns N’ Roses exploded onto the scene in the late 1980s with a raw, dangerous sound that stood in stark contrast to the polished pop and glam metal dominating the charts. Their debut album Appetite for Destruction became the best-selling debut album of all time in the U.S., and their attitude, combined with undeniable musical chops, quickly made them one of the biggest bands in the world.

Despite internal tensions, lineup changes, and a notoriously volatile frontman in Axl Rose, the band’s legacy has endured. Their songs continue to fill arenas, appear in film and television, and inspire younger musicians.

With the “Legacy Tour 2025,” fans who grew up with their music — and new fans who’ve discovered their catalog in recent years — will have the opportunity to witness history in the making.

Tickets and Fan Access

Tickets for “The Guns N’ Roses Legacy Tour 2025” will go on sale Friday, April 26, at 10 a.m. local time in each tour city. Members of the official GN’R fan club, Nightrain, will have early access starting April 23, along with exclusive VIP packages that include meet-and-greet opportunities, soundcheck access, limited edition merchandise, and premium seating.

A Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival

As the music industry continues to evolve, there’s something reassuring — and thrilling — about the return of one of rock’s most iconic bands to the live stage. In an era dominated by digital music, AI-generated content, and algorithmic playlists, Guns N’ Roses brings back the raw, unfiltered energy of a real rock band, live and loud.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan who saw them in their heyday or someone experiencing their music for the first time, “The Guns N’ Roses Legacy Tour 2025” is shaping up to be a once-in-a-generation experience — a powerful reminder that rock and roll is very much alive.
