After decades of electrifying performances, iconic riffs, and unforgettable moments, Guns N’ Roses has officially announced their final bow. Titled ‘One Last Ride’,
the legendary rock band’s 2026 farewell tour is set to mark the end of an era that changed the face of rock music forever. For millions of fans across the globe, this will be the last chance to witness Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, and the rest of the crew together on stage in a full-scale tour.
The announcement, made via the band’s social media channels and official website, instantly lit up the internet with a mixture of excitement and nostalgia. Accompanied by a cinematic teaser featuring flashes of past concerts and emotional fan moments, the band declared that this final tour would be “a thunderous goodbye to the fans who made it all possible.”
Formed in 1985, Guns N’ Roses became a defining voice of hard rock, with their raw sound, rebellious spirit, and larger-than-life personalities. Their debut album Appetite for Destruction remains one of the best-selling debut albums in history, featuring hits like “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Welcome to the Jungle,” and “Paradise City.” Over the years, they’ve amassed a global following and influenced countless artists.
Despite internal conflicts, breakups, and long periods of hiatus, the band always managed to return stronger — especially with the Not in This Lifetime… Tour, which became one of the highest-grossing tours of all time. Now, with One Last Ride, they promise to go out in the same explosive fashion they came in — loud, emotional, and unforgettable.
According to the official statement, this farewell tour will be “the most ambitious stage production in the band’s history,” combining fan-favorite tracks with deep cuts and visual storytelling that reflects the band’s legendary journey. Special guest artists are also rumored to appear in select cities, though names have not yet been revealed.
Fans can expect the tour to span across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, with over 50 cities included in the itinerary. Iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York, Wembley Stadium in London, and Tokyo Dome are already confirmed, creating massive anticipation among global rock lovers.
Pre-sale tickets will go live in September 2025, with general ticket sales opening in early October. VIP packages, meet-and-greet opportunities, and exclusive tour merchandise will be available, catering to both long-time superfans and newcomers who’ve always wanted to see the band live.
The tour kicks off on February 15, 2026, in Los Angeles, California, where the band first broke onto the scene four decades ago. From there, it travels to Chicago, Toronto, Mexico City, São Paulo, Berlin, Paris, Sydney, and closes with a monumental final show in Las Vegas on September 5, 2026 — a city that has become almost synonymous with epic concert finales.
In interviews following the announcement, Slash shared, “We’ve had an insane journey. It’s time to close this chapter the way we always wanted — on our own terms, with our guitars blazing.” Axl Rose added, “It’s been a wild ride. This tour is for every fan who’s stuck with us, every kid who picked up a guitar because of us, and every voice that screamed our lyrics back at us.”
While the farewell marks the end of Guns N’ Roses as a touring band, the members hinted that solo projects and archival releases may follow. “This isn’t goodbye to music,” Duff McKagan said. “It’s just goodbye to the road, the chaos, and the madness that comes with it.”
Fans are already flooding social media with memories, concert photos, and emotional reactions. Hashtags like #OneLastRide and #GNRFarewellTour are trending, and tribute playlists have begun popping up on every streaming platform, reigniting the band’s iconic legacy in the lead-up to their grand finale.
In a time when many bands fade quietly into history, Guns N’ Roses is choosing to make a statement. One Last Ride is more than a tour — it’s a celebration of rebellion, resilience, and rock ‘n’ roll. If you’ve ever felt the thrill of a GNR anthem, now’s the time to relive it — one final time.
