Guns N’ Roses Announce New Album and 2025 World Tour Featuring Classic Lineup and Unreleased Tracks
Los Angeles, CA — October 18, 2024
In an announcement that has rocked the music world, legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses has confirmed they will be releasing a new album in early 2025, followed by a global tour that promises to feature the band’s classic lineup and previously unreleased tracks. This will mark the first new studio release from the iconic rockers in over a decade, and the tour is set to be one of the most anticipated events in rock history.
Frontman Axl Rose, alongside guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan, hinted at the project earlier this year, but today’s official announcement has thrilled fans and critics alike. The album, whose title remains under wraps, is expected to include both freshly written songs and unreleased tracks from their “Appetite for Destruction” and “Use Your Illusion” sessions. With the classic lineup reunited, the band is promising a return to its gritty, hard-rock roots while exploring modern influences.
The 2025 world tour will kick off in North America, with dates spanning Europe, Asia, and South America. Venues are anticipated to sell out quickly, as this will be the first time in nearly 30 years that fans will have the opportunity to experience Guns N’ Roses in their original form, performing not only their iconic hits like “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Welcome to the Jungle,” and “November Rain” but also new and unheard material.
Speaking on the upcoming release, Slash remarked, “It feels incredible to be back in the studio with the guys. We’re excited to share what we’ve been working on and to reconnect with our fans on a level we haven’t in years. This tour and this album are for them as much as it is for us.”
Guns N’ Roses, formed in Los Angeles in 1985, became a global sensation with their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, and went on to sell more than 100 million records worldwide. Known for their explosive live performances and raw, edgy sound, they quickly became one of the defining acts of rock music in the late 80s and early 90s.
Details on the album’s release date and tour stops are expected to follow soon. For now, fans can prepare for a historic return of one of rock’s most iconic bands, as Guns N’ Roses brings back the classic lineup, promising an unforgettable experience for generations of rock fans.
