Often called “The World’s Most Dangerous Band”, Guns N’ Roses gained the reputation by selling over 100 million albums, recording hits like “Paradise City”, and embracing the rock and roll lifestyle. Back in 2012, the music industry recognized the band when it inducted them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. While loving the success they built over the years, Guns N’ Roses wasn’t finished just yet. Announcing their 2026 tour, it seemed that the band wanted to share the spotlight with a few opening acts that are sure to thrill fans.
