Guns N’ Roses officially launched their highly anticipated 2026 world tour this past Saturday, March 28. Taking the stage at the Tecate Pa’l Norte festival in Monterrey, Mexico, the band delivered a massive performance that featured two major live premieres.
Fans in attendance were treated to the live debuts of the band’s newest tracks, “Atlas” and “Nothin’“. These fresh additions were woven into a sprawling 26-song set that included iconic catalog staples like “Welcome to the Jungle“, “Sweet Child o’ Mine“, and “Paradise City“.
Just one day prior to their festival appearance in Monterrey, Guns N’ Roses announced a temporary change to their touring personnel. Keyboardist Melissa Reese, who joined the group in 2016, will be stepping away from the current tour due to unforeseen personal reasons. “Melissa Reese will not be joining the band on tour due to unforeseen personal reasons. We hope our fans understand,” the band wrote in a statement.
In her absence, veteran band member Dizzy Reed will take over full keyboard responsibilities. The core reunion trio of frontman Axl Rose, lead guitarist Slash, and bassist Duff McKagan remains intact as they approach the 10th anniversary of their massive reunion run.
The newly launched 2026 world tour promises to be one of the band’s most extensive outings yet. With dates scheduled through December, Guns N’ Roses will perform across North America, Latin America, Europe, Australasia, and Singapore.
To support the massive trek, the band has enlisted an incredibly diverse roster of opening acts. Depending on the region, fans will see support performances from the Black Crowes, Public Enemy, Pierce the Veil, Ice Cube, and the Barbarians of California.
