Guns N’ Roses played their first US show of 2026 on Thursday, April 30th, at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, performing a career-spanning 28-song set.
The concert was one of two shows at Hard Rock Live, with the second one set for Tuesday, May 5th. GN’R will then play the Welcome to Rockville festival this Thursday, May 7th, in Daytona Beach, Florida, followed by a UK/European tour beginning in early June. A proper North American stadium tour will kick off in late July
Thursday’s concert began with “Welcome to the Jungle,” one of seven songs that Axl Rose and company performed from their iconic 1987 debut album Appetite for Destruction. The Use Your Illusion albums were also well represented, with a total of nine songs played from the two 1991 LPs.
Guns N’ Roses also played a handful of cover songs, including a couple they famously recorded (Wings’ “Live and Let Die” and Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”), as well as “Slither” by Velvet Revolver, “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” by Back Sabbath, “Wichita Lineman” by Jimmy Webb, and “Attitude” by the Misfits.
The set also featured GN’R’s two most recent singles, “Atlas” and “Nothin’,” which were released this past December.
