Guns N’ Roses 2026 Tour: Ireland Dates, Setlist & Updates

Guns N’ Roses haven’t stopped. Four decades after forming in Los Angeles, they’re still selling out venues worldwide—and the upcoming Dublin show proves it. On June 10, 2026, the band returns to Ireland for a 3Arena concert that already has fans circling dates and checking presale timers. But behind the tour announcements, questions linger about the frontman who keeps showing up.

Formed: 1985 · Origin: Los Angeles, California · Upcoming Dublin Show: 10 June 2026 at 3Arena · Special Guest in Dublin: Mammoth · Label History: Geffen Records

The table below consolidates the essential details about the band’s history and the Dublin concert.

Are Guns N’ Roses coming to Ireland in 2026?

Yes. The band confirmed a Dublin concert at 3Arena on June 10, 2026—their first Irish show since June 2022, when they played Marlay Park to a sold-out crowd. This time, it’s an arena gig: 14,500 capacity, doors at 18:30, and Mammoth handling opening duties.

Tickets range from €98.25 to €128.25 plus booking fees, available through Ticketmaster IE and the official Guns N’ Roses website. General sale opened November 28, 2025 at 9am, with MCD presale running the day before. The Dublin show anchors the EU leg of a 31-date world tour that also stops at Rose Bowl in Los Angeles—a venue the band hasn’t played in over 30 years.

Dublin concert details

• Venue: 3Arena, Dublin
• Date: June 10, 2026
• Doors: 18:30
• Support: Mammoth

Ticket information

• General sale: November 28, 2025 at 9am
• MCD presale: November 27, 2025
• Price range: €98.25–€128.25 + booking fee
• Purchase: Ticketmaster IE, gunsnroses.com

Ireland gets an arena-level production rather than the outdoor festival setup fans saw in 2022. For those who missed Marlay Park, the 3Arena offers a different experience—closer sightlines, climate control, and a more intimate vibe despite the large capacity.

Is Axl Rose touring with Guns N’ Roses in 2026?

Based on official announcements, yes. Axl Rose appears on the confirmed lineup listed by the 3Arena for Dublin: Axl Rose (vocals), Slash (guitar), Duff McKagan (bass), Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, Isaac Carpenter, and Melissa Reese. The band has not announced any absence or replacement for the 2026 dates.

That said, Axl Rose has a documented history of health disruptions during tours. The most recent high-profile incident came in July 2022, when Guns N’ Roses postponed a Glasgow show “due to illness and medical advice.” Axl Rose reportedly slept at Tottenham Stadium the night before after falling ill, and the band confirmed the cancellation publicly. He later addressed the Glasgow cancellation with a health update, though specific details weren’t disclosed.

Current lineup confirmation

• Axl Rose – vocals
• Slash – guitar
• Duff McKagan – bass
• Dizzy Reed – keyboards
• Richard Fortus – guitar
• Isaac Carpenter – drums
• Melissa Reese – keyboards

Axl Rose is 64 years old and remains the only original member in the current lineup. Despite lineup changes over four decades, he’s maintained touring consistency—though health incidents have occasionally forced adjustments. No such adjustments have been announced for 2026.

What is Axl Rose’s illness?

There’s no single confirmed diagnosis. What exists is a pattern of documented incidents: the Glasgow postponement in July 2022, the Abu Dhabi performance where Axl Rose reportedly vomited for five hours before continuing the show, and scattered fan reports from various 2025 tour stops.

Men’s Journal noted that some fans found Axl Rose looking unrecognizable in recent 2026 tour footage, though such observations lack clinical basis and reflect the natural aging process of a 64-year-old frontman. WikiMetal quoted Axl Rose during the Abu Dhabi incident: “They gave me a lot of injections. I got sick today. I’ve been vomiting for the last five hours. So, instead of canceling, I’ll do the best show I can for you.”

Reported health issues

• Glasgow postponement (July 5, 2022) – illness and medical advice cited
• Abu Dhabi performance disruption – Axl continued despite vomiting for hours
• No official 2026 diagnosis or health statement

Impact on performances

• Past shows continued despite health issues when possible
• Postponements rare but documented (Glasgow 2022)
• No 2026 postponements announced

Fans attending Dublin should watch for any official announcements in the days leading up to the show. Past behavior suggests Axl Rose pushes through when able, but medical advice has overridden that tendency at least once.

Who is the richest member of Guns N’ Roses?

The most concrete financial figure tied to the band comes from their Not In This Lifetime tour—reportedly the fourth highest-grossing tour ever, moving over 5 million tickets and generating massive revenue. Axl Rose, as the sole original member and primary creative voice behind the name, likely holds the largest individual share.

Slash has his own earning power outside the band—guitar work, collaborations, solo albums—that factors into wealth estimates. Duff McKagan has diversified into writing and other ventures. But specific individual net worth figures lack verified confirmation from the band or independent financial audits.

Net worth rankings

• Axl Rose: estimated top earner based on band ownership and longevity
• Slash: significant solo career income plus GN’R touring
• Duff McKagan: diversified income from writing, touring
• Other members: standard touring musician compensation

Axl Rose estimates

• Band generates revenue from touring, streaming, merchandise
• Not In This Lifetime tour: 5M+ tickets sold
• No verified public net worth figure exists

The band’s touring history suggests substantial collective wealth, but exact individual breakdowns remain estimates. Searches for “richest guitarist in the world” often surface Slash, but without verified figures, any ranking is speculative.

Is Axl Rose sober?

The band’s history includes well-documented substance issues during the Appetite for Destruction era and the Use Your Illusion years. Reports from that period describe a chaotic environment that contributed to lineup departures and health problems.

Whether Axl Rose currently maintains sobriety—or what that would mean for his current health—isn’t confirmed by the band. Some fans have speculated based on appearance or performance observations, but these lack verification. The November 2025 announcement of new singles (Nothin and Atlas) released December 2, 2025, suggests continued creative output, but creative activity doesn’t confirm or deny personal health choices.

What to watch

• No official statement on current sobriety status
• Past documented substance issues from 1980s–1990s
• 2026 touring continues without announced health restrictions

Without transparency from the band, fans rely on external observations that may be inaccurate or unfair. Any speculation about sobriety or health choices should acknowledge this information gap.

2026 World Tour Timeline

Three decades of touring history compressed into key moments:

The 2016 reunion transformed a nostalgia act into a consistent touring machine. After moving 5 million+ tickets on Not In This Lifetime, the band shows no signs of slowing down despite Axl Rose’s age and documented health issues.

“As you can tell, I am having a few issues, these shows are really important to us, I slept here last night.”

— Axl Rose, before Glasgow postponement (Metal Injection)

“Sadly, due to illness and medical advice, GN’R will not be able to perform in Glasgow, tomorrow 5-July-2022.”

The tour’s financial success is undeniable—5 million tickets on one run, a Rose Bowl return after 30 years, and consistent EU legs suggest the band remains a commercial force. Whether that translates to a vintage performance depends on factors the band hasn’t disclosed.
