Rumors are flying about a massive Guns N’ Roses tour set for 2025, supposedly spanning the Middle East and Europe. But before you start planning your trip to see Axl, Slash and Duff tear it up live, let’s pump the brakes—nothing has been officially confirmed yet.
So, where’s this buzz coming from? Apparently, some leaked “details” have surfaced on a password-protected website claiming to be tied to Live Nation, the same promoter behind GNR’s successful 2023 tour. A tour graphic has also made the rounds online, but fans are raising their eyebrows. One glaring red flag? The graphic lists a stop in “Vienna, IT.” (Quick geography refresher: Vienna is in Austria, not Italy.) Typos happen, sure, but this kind of mistake has fans questioning if this “leak” is more fiction than fact.
To be fair, Live Nation isn’t exactly a stranger to errors. Their merch for the When We Were Young Festival famously featured a slew of misspelled band names, including gems like “The All-Amercian Rejects” and “Sleeping With Siriens.” So, a typo alone doesn’t totally rule out the possibility of a real tour.
Guns N’ Roses 2025 Tour Dates: Rumored Stops and Schedule
If this rumored tour turns out to be legit, here’s what we’re looking at: a kickoff in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on May 23rd, followed by stops across Europe—Portugal, Spain, Italy, the U.K., Germany, and more. The tour would allegedly wrap with a big finale in Wacken, Germany, on July 31st.
The circulating graphic cryptically reads, “Because what you want and what you get are two completely different things.” Interpret that however you like!
For now, we’re left waiting for official confirmation. Until then, keep your eyes peeled, but maybe don’t book those plane tickets just yet. In the meantime, check out Duff McKagan’s greatest basslines —a perfect soundtrack for your GNR speculation!
