Guns N’ Roses Featuring Axl Rose to Play Two UK Shows

It’s official — the legends are returning.

In a move that has electrified fans across the globe, Guns N’ Roses, led by the ever-iconic Axl Rose, have announced two exclusive UK shows as part of their much-anticipated One Last Rose farewell tour. This announcement marks a historic moment for British rock fans, as it could be the final time the legendary band performs on UK soil.

The two shows are set for June 14th at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium and June 18th at London’s Wembley Stadium, promising epic nights of thunderous guitar solos, unforgettable vocals, and decades of pure rock ‘n’ roll energy.

Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. BST and are expected to sell out within minutes.

Axl Rose: “These nights will be special”

Speaking in a rare interview with BBC Radio 2 following the announcement, Axl Rose shared his excitement about returning to the UK, a country that has been central to the band’s legacy since the 1980s.

“The UK has always been like a second home,” he said. “Some of our loudest, wildest, and most unforgettable shows have happened in London, Manchester, and all over the UK. These two nights — they’re going to mean a lot to us.”

Rose also hinted that the setlist will span their entire career, with a few “surprises” thrown in for longtime fans.

The Lineup: Classic and United

The lineup for the UK shows includes the powerhouse trio of Axl Rose, Slash (lead guitar), and Duff McKagan (bass), reuniting the most iconic core of the band. Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer, and Melissa Reese will also join them on stage, rounding out a band that has played to sold-out stadiums around the world in recent years.

This version of the band has been touring since their epic 2016 Not In This Lifetime… reunion and has shown no signs of slowing down — until now. The One Last Rose tour is widely reported to be the band’s final global outing, making these UK shows all the more significant.

A Historic Venue for a Historic Farewell

The decision to host one of the shows at London’s Wembley Stadium is a poetic one. The band famously played there in 1992 alongside legends like Elton John and Queen at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, in one of the most emotional performances of their career.

“Wembley has a soul,” Slash once said. “There’s something about playing there that’s bigger than the music. It’s like the walls remember.”

As for the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, it’s no stranger to musical greatness, having hosted the likes of The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, and Beyoncé. With Guns N’ Roses stepping into that arena, fans in the North are preparing for one of the biggest nights the city has seen in years.

Fan Frenzy: “I’m selling my car if I have to”

Across social media, fans are already scrambling for presale codes and making travel plans. Hashtags like #OneLastRoseUK, #GNRLondon, and #AxlInManchester trended within an hour of the announcement.

“I missed them in 2006. I swore I wouldn’t miss them again. I’m selling my car if I have to,” joked one fan on Twitter.

Another wrote, “Been waiting my whole life to see them live. If this is the last time, I’ll be in that crowd screaming every word.”

VIP packages and early access tickets will also be made available, including exclusive backstage content, limited-edition merchandise, and chances to win signed memorabilia.

What’s Next?

With the UK dates now confirmed, speculation is rising about whether more European shows will be added. There are whispers of surprise appearances in Paris, Berlin, and even Dublin, though nothing has been confirmed.

What is confirmed, however, is this: Guns N’ Roses aren’t going quietly. They’re going out with fire, fury, and a whole lot of guitar.

Final Thoughts

For fans in the UK, this is more than just another concert. It’s the closing of a chapter that began when a scrappy band from Los Angeles conquered the world with a few riffs and a lot of attitude.

If this truly is their last bow in Britain, it’s only fitting that they do it with the volume turned all the way up — in front of tens of thousands of fans who never stopped believing in the heart of rock ‘n’ roll.
