If you’re heading to see Guns N’ Roses when they hit Australia later this year, consider this your official spoiler warning – because the band have just kicked off their 2026 world tour in Mexico, and the setlist is already looking jacked.
We’re talking a full 26-song, three-hour marathon spanning their entire 40-year career – the kind of set that smashes the bar out of the stadium. From the opening whistle of Welcome To The Jungle to the final siren of Paradise City, GN’R are running a best-of playbook loaded with classics (Sweet Child O’ Mine, November Rain, Nightrain) alongside a few deep-cut curveballs and even some fresh debuts.
Yep, the band have already given their new singles Nothin’ and Atlas their live debuts, slotting them into the set like a couple of promising rookies who’ve somehow made the starting lineup. Elsewhere, there’s a healthy mix of their classic covers (including Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door and Live and Let Die) and the usual Slash guitar heroics.
All of which bodes very well for their upcoming Australian run this November and December, where the rock legends will take their stadium-sized chaos across the country – with local hard rock heroes Airbourne riding shotgun as special guests (which, frankly, is a pairing so loud it should come with a warning label).
They’ll kick things off headlining the bp Adelaide grand final on Sunday, 29th November before heading to Townsville, Brisbane, Newcastle, Melbourne and wrapping things up in Sydney.
You can peep all the details for Gunners’ 2026 Aussie stadium tour, and setlist spoilers for their world tour opener in Mexico down below.
