How to get Guns N’ Roses tickets: UK dates announced for 2023 world tour
Welcome to the Jungle! Guns N’ Roses are heading out on a massive world tour in 2023, spanning five months and three continents. Here’s how to get tickets today.
Guns N’ Roses are back and they’re knock-knock-knockin' on your door with two shows planned in the UK this summer.
The legendary rock band are heading to London and Glasgow in June as part of a five-month world tour that’s taking them across America, Europe and the Middle East. The UK leg of the tour will include their previously-announced performance at BST Hyde Park and a show at Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park that was rescheduled from last year.
The tour announcement came with a promise of “more news and surprises soon”, with many fans speculating that new music might be on the way, too. The Californian group hasn’t recorded anything new since their 2008 album Chinese Democracy. Instead, they’ve spent time on the road with their most recent tour, We’re F’N' Back!
Guns N’ Roses' reputation as one of the best rock bands of all time was secured early on in their career. Their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, featured the iconic tracks Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, and Sweet Child o' Mine, which got them the number one spot on the Billboard 200 and sold around 30 million copies worldwide.
Headed up by Axl Rose, over the years Guns N’ Roses have become known for their controversial song subjects, with their music sometimes including nods to drug use. Over the years, they became dubbed as “the most dangerous band in the world”.

In 2012 they were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and as of 2023, they’ve sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
So, whether you’re new to Guns N' Roses, or they remind you of when you were young (and your heart was an open book), this is not one to miss. With only two UK shows, tickets are likely to sell out fast. Here’s everything you need to know.
