While Guns N' Roses never released as many studio albums as many might like, the band continues to tour and reimagines the great tracks they brought us, mostly from the 1980s and 1990s. The tunes are timeless, and even better live.
But Axl Rose, Slash, and their mates are giving fans even more on the run of 2026 shows. Not only will you want to buy a ticket to see Guns N' Roses, but you likely will want to see the bands opening for them on their own.
To begin with, after playing a couple of one-off dates in May, hip-hop icons Public Enemy will be the openers. Would Chuck D and his group be worthy of seeing if they were doing their own show? Of course. So, how could one pass up seeing them with Guns N' Roses?
Opening acts for Guns N' Roses' 2026 tour
The same can be said of the Black Crowes. After Public Enemy opens for Guns N' Roses for eight straight concerts, and after one appearance by the Barbarians of California, Chris and Rich Robinson's band will open for four straight gigs.
Beyond that, Ice Cube will play a show, and Pierce the Veil will play two. Below is a list of where and when Guns N' Roses will be playing, along with the opening act at each concert.
