Guns N' Roses Europe Tour 2027

Guns N' Roses have not announced any concerts in Europe for 2027. As of 6 October 2026 there is no tour, festival headline slot or one-off show confirmed in continental Europe or Ireland.

The band has just finished an unusual European run. Instead of the stadiums and open-air sites of recent summers, the 2026 leg played arenas: the 3Arena in Dublin on 10 June, two nights at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on 18 and 20 June, two at the Uber Arena in Berlin on 23 and 25 June, the AFAS Dome in Antwerp on 28 June and two at the Accor Arena in Paris on 1 and 3 July 2026. A year earlier, the 2025 tour had played stadiums from Coimbra to Munich and ended its European leg at Wacken on 31 July 2025.

This page explains what is and is not known about Guns N' Roses in Europe for 2027 and tells the story of the band on the continent and in Ireland, from three club shows in September and October 1987 to the arena nights of 2026.

Guns N' Roses Europe Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about Guns N' Roses concerts in Europe in 2027. The band has toured Europe in four of the last five summers (2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026), after the long stadium runs of 2017 and 2018, but a habit is not an announcement, and nothing for 2027 has been published.

The current line-up is Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, rhythm guitarist Richard Fortus, keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Melissa Reese and drummer Isaac Carpenter, who replaced Frank Ferrer in 2025. The 2025 tour, announced on 9 December 2024, was the first with Carpenter; it ran from Incheon in May to Mexico City in November 2025 and grossed $144.3 million from 41 shows.

Until the band publishes dates, treat any list of 2027 European shows, any 'presale code' or any ticket listing with suspicion. Festival rumours circulate every winter; only an announcement by the band or the festival itself counts.

Before the Guns N' Roses Europe Tour 2027: European concert history

Guns N' Roses' first European concerts came in the autumn of 1987, a few months after Appetite for Destruction was released: the Markthalle in Hamburg on 29 September, Tor 3 in Düsseldorf on 30 September and the Paradiso in Amsterdam on 2 October 1987. The set at the Paradiso ran to ten songs and already included 'Sweet Child o' Mine', 'Welcome to the Jungle' and 'Paradise City'.

The Use Your Illusion Tour made them a stadium act in Europe. In August 1991 they played Helsinki, two nights at the Globen in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo and the Maimarktgelände in Mannheim. In 1992 they played Slane Castle on 16 May, then the Népstadion in Budapest, Vienna, the Olympiastadion in Berlin, the Cannstatter Wasen in Stuttgart, Cologne, Hanover, Werchter, the Hippodrome de Vincennes in Paris on 6 June, Würzburg, Basel, the Feijenoord Stadion in Rotterdam, Ghent, the Stadio delle Alpi in Turin, Seville, Lisbon's Estádio José Alvalade, the Vicente Calderón in Madrid and Barcelona's Olympic Stadium on 5 July 1992.

The Skin N' Bones leg of 1993 returned to the same scale: two nights at the Goffertpark in Nijmegen, Vienna, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Basel, the Weserstadion in Bremen, Cologne, Karlsruhe, Frankfurt's Waldstadion, the Olympiastadion in Munich, two nights in Modena, Cava de' Tirreni, Barcelona, Madrid, Nancy, Lyon, Werchter and Paris-Bercy on 13 July 1993. It was the last time Slash and Duff McKagan toured Europe with the band until 2017.

The Chinese Democracy era line-ups played Pukkelpop on 24 August 2002 and toured Europe properly in summer 2006: Madrid, Lisbon, Budapest, the Nürburgring, the Idroscalo in Milan, the RDS Arena in Dublin on 9 June, Prague, Warsaw, Paris-Bercy on 20 June, Graspop in Dessel, Stockholm, Oslo, Roskilde, Zürich, the Goffertpark, two nights in Helsinki, Bilbao and El Ejido. An arena tour followed in autumn 2010, from the O2 in Dublin on 1 September through Rome, Milan, Paris-Bercy on 13 September, the Sportpaleis, Lisbon and Madrid to Badalona near Barcelona on 23 October, and in 2012 the band toured France at length, from Paris-Bercy and Lyon to Strasbourg, Toulouse, Hellfest, Pérols near Montpellier and Toulon.

Slash and Duff McKagan rejoined in 2016, and the Not in This Lifetime... Tour brought the reunited band to Europe in two summers. In 2017 they played Slane Castle on 27 May, San Mamés in Bilbao, Algés, the Vicente Calderón, Zürich, Imola, Munich's Olympiastadion, Gdańsk, Hanover, Werchter, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Hämeenlinna, Prague, the Stade de France on 7 July, Vienna and Nijmegen. In 2018 they played the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Odense, Gelsenkirchen, Florence, Brétigny-sur-Orge, Graspop, Mannheim, the Matmut Atlantique in Bordeaux, Madrid, Barcelona, Nijmegen, Leipzig, Chorzów, Oslo and Ullevi in Gothenburg on 21 July 2018.

After the pandemic the band came back to Europe almost every summer. The 2022 run included Algés, Seville, Sölvesborg, Stavanger, Prague, Warsaw, Groningen, Hellfest, Marlay Park in Dublin on 28 June, Munich, San Siro in Milan, Vienna and Hanover. In 2023 they played Madrid's Metropolitano, Vigo, Graspop, Copenhagen, Oslo, Frankfurt, Bern, the Circo Massimo in Rome, Weert, Paris La Défense Arena on 13 July and Budapest. The 2025 tour opened in Europe at Coimbra on 6 June and played Barcelona, Florence, Hradec Králové, Düsseldorf, the Allianz Arena in Munich, Aarhus, Trondheim, Stockholm, Tampere, Warsaw, Budapest, Vienna, Luxembourg and Wacken, before the arena dates of June and July 2026.

In France they have played Hellfest in Clisson in 2012 and 2022 and Download's Paris edition at Brétigny-sur-Orge in 2018.

Guns N' Roses Europe Tour 2027: career and records

Guns N' Roses formed in Los Angeles in 1985 from members of L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose. The classic line-up of Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler signed with Geffen in 1986 and released Appetite for Destruction in 1987; after a slow start it sold more than 30 million copies worldwide and became the best-selling debut album in the United States, with 'Welcome to the Jungle', 'Sweet Child o' Mine' and 'Paradise City'.

G N' R Lies (1988) added 'Patience'. In 1990 Matt Sorum replaced Adler and Dizzy Reed joined on keyboards, and in 1991 the band released Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II on the same day; they debuted at No. 2 and No. 1 in the US, sold a combined 35 million copies and contained 'You Could Be Mine', 'Don't Cry' and 'November Rain'. Use Your Illusion II reached No. 1 in the UK.

After the punk covers album "The Spaghetti Incident?" (1993), the band went through years of line-up changes, with only Rose and Reed remaining from the Illusion years by 1998. The long-delayed Chinese Democracy (2008), reported to have cost about $14 million, reached No. 2 in the UK. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.

Slash and McKagan returned in 2016 for the Not in This Lifetime... Tour, which grossed $563.3 million by the end of 2018, at that time the second-highest-grossing tour ever. Since then the band has released new songs as singles rather than albums and kept touring; the current line-up includes Richard Fortus, Melissa Reese and, since 2025, drummer Isaac Carpenter.

Guns N' Roses Europe Tour 2027: the 2026 arena run

The 2026 European leg broke with the pattern of recent years. Rather than stadiums and festival fields, the band booked arenas and played two nights in three cities: the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on 18 and 20 June, the Uber Arena in Berlin on 23 and 25 June and the Accor Arena in Paris on 1 and 3 July, with single nights at the 3Arena in Dublin on 10 June and the AFAS Dome in Antwerp on 28 June.

The double nights let the band change the set: the two Paris shows shared their skeleton but differed by about half a dozen songs, with 'Chinese Democracy', 'Perhaps' and 'Catcher in the Rye' on the first night and 'Bad Apples', 'Don't Cry' and 'Black Leather' on the second.

Guns N' Roses Europe Tour 2027: Nijmegen's Goffertpark

Few continental venues have hosted Guns N' Roses as often as the Goffertpark in Nijmegen, a park in the east of the Netherlands. The band played there on 5 and 6 June 1993, on 2 July 2006, on 12 July 2017 and on 4 July 2018.

The 2017 and 2018 Goffertpark shows were among the longest of the reunion tour in Europe, at 32 songs each.

Guns N' Roses Europe Tour 2027: Paris, from Vincennes to the Stade de France

Paris has seen the band at almost every scale. They played the Hippodrome de Vincennes on 6 June 1992, Paris-Bercy in 1993, 2006, 2010 and 2012, the Stade de France on 7 July 2017, the Brétigny-sur-Orge air base on 18 June 2018 and Paris La Défense Arena on 13 July 2023.

The two nights at the Accor Arena, the former Bercy, on 1 and 3 July 2026 brought them back to the building they had played four times before.

Guns N' Roses Europe Tour 2027: Ireland and Slane Castle

Slane Castle in County Meath has bookended the band's Irish story. They played there on 16 May 1992 on the Use Your Illusion Tour and on 27 May 2017, the first European show of the reunion.

Dublin has also seen them at the RDS Arena in 2006, the O2 in 2010 and 2012, Marlay Park on 28 June 2022 and the 3Arena, the renamed O2, on 10 June 2026.

Guns N' Roses Europe Tour 2027: what to expect live

Guns N' Roses play long concerts. The 2026 European shows ran to between 27 and 31 songs. In Paris on 3 July 2026 the set opened with 'Welcome to the Jungle', 'Mr. Brownstone', 'Bad Obsession' and 'It's So Easy', included 'Live and Let Die', 'Estranged', 'You Could Be Mine', 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door', 'Rocket Queen' and 'Civil War', and finished with Slash's guitar solo, 'Sweet Child o' Mine', 'November Rain', 'Nightrain' and 'Paradise City'.

The recent sets also feature the band's newer singles. 'Hard Skool' and 'Absurd' have been played in Europe since 2022, 'Perhaps' and 'The General' since 2025, and 'Atlas' and 'Nothin'' joined the European set in 2026. Covers are a constant: 'Live and Let Die', 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door', Velvet Revolver's 'Slither' and Jimmy Webb's 'Wichita Lineman'.

The set changes from night to night more than with most stadium acts. The Dublin show of 10 June 2026 included 'This I Love' and 'Thunder and Lightning', neither of which was played at the second Paris night.

Guns N' Roses Europe Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no Guns N' Roses tickets on sale for Europe in 2027, because no European concerts have been announced. Any site selling seats or offering a 'presale code' for 2027 European dates is not official.

When the band announces European shows, tickets are sold country by country through each promoter or festival, usually after a fan presale.
