Guns N' Roses setlist for Dublin's Marlay Park will feature big hits and some deeper cuts

Fans can expect all of Guns N' Roses' best known songs with a few deeper cuts spread across close to three hours when they play in Dublin in June.

Axl Rose, Slash, Duff and co perform in Marlay Park on June 28, the first show in Ireland since their triumphant return to Slane Castle in 2017.

The band's peak creative era came between 1987 and 1992 so it's remarkable that they managed to produce so many well-known songs that sustain to this day.

But with such a limited discography comes little room for rotation, so the band's setlist has remained fairly similar since they reunited in 2015.

It's well-crafted at this stage and fans of all eras of the band - from Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion, through to Chinese Democracy - can expect to be well represented.

They know how to put on a show so you'll hear the likes of Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, November Rain - as well as their two most famous covers: Live and Let Die and Knockin' on Heaven's Door.

Two of the band's new singles - Absurd and Hard Skool - will also likely feature.

Deeper cuts like Coma, Locomotive and Reckless Life have also been played in recent times which will whet the appetite of Use Your Illusion and Lies fans.

The setlist at the first show of the European tour in Lisbon on June 4 is likely to be very similar to what you'll see at Marlay Park.
