Just months after closing out dates in Australia and New Zealand, Guns N’ Roses revealed their 2023 world tour, which will include stops in North America, Europe, and the Middle East during the summer and fall.

The tour is the first time the band has toured North America since their We’re F’N Back! Tour in 2021.
Kicking off in Tel Aviv, Israel on June 5, the tour will run across Europe with dates in Belgium, Greece, Norway, Spain, and Romania, among other countries, before wrapping up in Greece on July 22. On Aug. 5, the tour will restart on the North American leg, starting on Aug. 5 and running across Canada and the U.S. before concluding in the fall in Vancouver, British Columbia on Oct. 16.
Guns N’ Roses recently shared an updated orchestral version of their 1991 hit “November Rain,” which has surpassed two billion views, making it one of the most-viewed rock videos of all time. The “2022 Version” was part of the super deluxe box set of Use Your Illusion I + II, released in November 2022, more than 30 years since the original release of both albums.
The box set features 63 previously unreleased tracks, along with remastered versions of the original albums, and live versions of hits, including “Welcome To The Jungle” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” The live tracks were pulled from the band’s shows at the Ritz Theatre in New York City on May 16, 1991, and from the Thomas & Mack Center on January 25, 1992, in Las Vegas.
Guitarist Slash recently shared that the band is working on new music and planning to release something new soon. “I wanna go in and cut a whole brand new record at some point, probably sooner than later,” said Slash. “But other than that, we have stuff that we’ve still got to come out.”
Slash added, “So that’s gonna be coming out piecemeal over the next few months, or something like that. So that’s basically it. We have one more tour left to do … and then that’ll free us up to be able to go in and work on a new record.”
