Guns N’ Roses have announced they will return to Abu Dhabi as part of a massive 2025 European and Middle East Tour, headlining stadiums and festivals throughout the summer.

The rock legends will return to Etihad Arena, Yas Island, on May 27, after kicking off the 24 date tour in Riyadh, on May 23, before heading to Georgia, Turkey and Europe next summer.

Guns N’ Roses endure as one of the most dynamic and definitive rock band in history. Their landmark diamond selling 1987 album, Appetite For Destruction stands out as the best selling US debut album ever, and the11th best selling US album of all-time.

In 1991, they released the 7x-platinum Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, clinching the top two spots of the Billboard 200.

With total sales of 100 million units so far, their catalogue also consists of G N’ R Lies (5x-platinum), The Spaghetti Incident? (platinum), Greatest Hits (5x-platinum), and Chinese Democracy (platinum).

They are one of the most streamed rock bands in the world with an average of 24 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Following the reunion of much of the original line-up, they headlined Coachella and sold 5 million-plus tickets on the Not In This Lifetime… Tour, which ranks as the fourth highest grossing concert tour of all time.

The concert is brought by Live Nation Middle East, in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, and Miral
