The rock and roll legends will be kicking off their world tour in Saudi Arabia.
Get ready to rock because Guns N’ Roses has announced that they will kick off their 2025 world tour in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, followed by a performance in Abu Dhabi, UAE, soon after.
The band will travel the globe, treating fans to electrifying rock anthems including Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door and Sweet Child O’ Mine. They will mark their first stop in Riyadh at Kingdom Arena on Friday, 23 May 2025, followed by Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, 27 May 2025.
With nearly four decades of global stadium-shaking performances, Guns N’ Roses continues to redefine rock and roll. Formed in 1985, the band skyrocketed to fame with their groundbreaking debut album, Appetite for Destruction (1987), which reached the top of the Billboard 200 and solidified their place in rock history. The band currently comprises of lead vocalist Axl Rose, lead guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagan, keyboardist Dizzy Reed, rhythm guitarist Richard Fortus, drummer Frank Ferrer and keyboardist Melissa Reese.
After a sold-out performance in Abu Dhabi in 2023, Guns N’ Roses are back to thrill the UAE with their greatest hits, including iconic tracks like Sweet Child O’ Mine, Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door, and Welcome to the Jungle. Their legendary status was further cemented when the cinematic music video for November Rain surpassed two billion views, earning its place as one of the most-viewed rock videos of all time.
However, the upcoming concert will mark Guns’ N Roses debut performance in Saudi Arabia. Heading to Riyadh’s Kingdom Arena, you’re in for a night of pure head-banging hits.
Guns N’ Roses remains one of the world’s most-streamed rock bands, with an average of 24 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Following the reunion of the century, they headlined Coachella and sold five million-plus tickets to their Not In This Lifetime… Tour. With a reputation for rocking stadiums for almost four decades, this is a not-to-be-missed chance for both residents and visitors of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi to witness a true musical phenomenon.
