Legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses has officially unveiled their 2025 tour plans, with an expansive run that will span across Europe and the Middle East. Titled “Because What You Want & What You Get Are Two Completely Different Things”, the tour kicks off on May 23 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and wraps up over two months later on July 31 at Germany’s iconic Wacken Open Air festival.
The tour will see the band hit 24 cities in 20 countries, making stops in major cities like Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, Barcelona, London, Stockholm, and Budapest, among others.
Adding to the excitement, select shows will feature special guest appearances by Rival Sons, Public Enemy, and a revamped Sex Pistols lineup. The Sex Pistols ensemble will include original members Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock, with Frank Carter stepping in as frontman in place of John Lydon.
This marks a significant moment for the band, following the recent departure of longtime drummer Frank Ferrer, with Isaac Carpenter now behind the kit.
