Guns N’ Roses 2026 tour dates coming
Slash announced today on Eddie Trunk’s radio show that Guns N’ Roses will tour North America in 2026 following their 2025 tour.
Guns N’ Roses’ 2025 tour has been a big success, but it hasn’t come without controversy. During Guns N’ Roses’ show in Buenos Aires this past Saturday (Oct. 18th), Axl Rose lost his temper during their opening track “Welcome to the Jungle.” After singing the song’s chorus, the frontman threw his microphone at the drums, tore off his jacket, and stormed off stage.
Rose eventually returned to finish the concert, but later in the show he was seen kicking the bass drum and at some point he told the crowd: “So, I’ll just try and wing this.”
At the time, it was unclear why Rose was so upset, with some fans speculating it had to do with the band’s new drummer Isaac Carpenter – who joined GNR in March 2025.
Now, Guns N’ Roses have released a statement in an attempt to explain the incident, clarifying that Rose’s outburst was due to an issue with his in-ear monitor.
“During the opening song at our recent Buenos Aires concert, Axl’s in-ear monitor pack had only the percussion in his ears versus the entire mix,” the statement read. “The issue was fixed by our tech by the third song, and we had a great night. The situation had nothing to do with Isaac Carpenter’s playing, who is top notch and a great drummer.”
