Guns N’ Roses Setlist Overview

Although the Guns N’ Roses: World Tour 2026 setlist hasn’t debuted yet, the band’s prolifically active live schedule gives a few hints on what to expect. Since the 2016 reunion of Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan on the Not In This Lifetime… Tour, which remains one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all-time, the GNR setlist has delivered a career-spanning highlight reel with plenty of change-ups, covers and Slash solos. Often playing for more than three hours, the band packs in peaks from 1987’s Appetite for Destruction and 1991’s Use Your Illusion I and II as well as recent singles like “Perhaps” and “The General.”

Heading into their latest live trek, the group have two 2025 singles that have yet to grace a Guns N’ Roses setlist: “Atlas” and “Nothin’.” Where the songs land in the live set are still to be determined, and may fluctuate by show. Check back for a full setlist after opening night in July. Once the tour kicks off, nightly Guns N’ Roses setlists can also be found on Ticketmaster.
