Legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses have announced a “massive” 2025 European and Middle East tour that includes two nights in Britain.

Axl Rose, Duff McKagan, Slash and co will play Villa Park in Birmingham on June 23, 2025 and Wembley Stadium in London on June 26, 2025, as part of the Because What You Want & What You Get Are Two Completely Different Things tour.

The supporting act for both UK concerts is Rival Sons, a rock band from Long Beach, California.

Other concerts across Europe are set to feature support from Public Enemy and the Sex Pistols.

When do tickets go on sale?

Tickets will go on sale on December 13 at 9am.

However, members of the Guns N’ Roses ‘Nightrain’ fan club – named after their 1987 hit – will be offered pre-sale on tickets for all non-festival shows, on December 10 at 9am.

Active Nightrain members will see their unique presale code displayed on the ‘tour’ page after logging in.

How do you get a Nightrain membership?

In order to get a Nightrain membership and therefore book presale tickets for the tour, you can buy one of two via the Guns N’ Roses website.

Both membership packages give exclusive access to concert ticket presales, the members-only community, fan forum, and blogs and contests, when available.

The standard membership, at £50, includes an official Nightrain bottle opener and limited-edition music box. The premium membership, at £89, includes a long-sleeved T-shirt and waterproof phone case as well.

How much are tickets?

Prices for the 2025 concerts have yet to be announced. Information will soon be available when pre-sale tickets go on sale on December 10.

When did the band last play the UK?

The 2025 tour will come two years after Guns N’ Roses last played the UK. In summer 2023, the rockers made an appearance at London’s Hyde Park and on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.
