Guns N’ Roses World Tour 2026 Setlist: Every Song Played At First Show

Guns N’ Roses returned to the stage on Thursday night (April 30), putting on a career-spanning show that was as comprehensive as it was satisfying to some of the most hardcore fans that showed up to celebrate the group’s 40-plus-year career.

After a global 2025 tour that took the iconic rock band from Korea to Mexico, they kicked off their 2026 dates at the Hard Rock Live club in Hollywood, California, playing to a crowd that was raucous and eager to see the group play the States for the first time in three years.

And the group came out on fire, running through a quick opening stretch of songs from their game-changing 1987 album Appetite For Destruction — the project that launched them into superstardom — before going deeper into their catalog, playing both lesser-known cuts and some newer tracks, including more new songs like “Better” and “Atlas.” But it was the old stalwarts — show opener “Welcome to the Jungle” and show closer “Paradise City” among them — that got fans truly rocking and off their feet, while lead guitarist Slash showed off the chops that have made him rightfully considered one of the greatest players who has ever picked up the instrument.

While the band gears up for the rest of their tour — so far, they have two more dates in Florida in May, before more fully hitting the road in July — their tune-up ahead of F1 Miami this weekend in south Florida proved to be a mesmerizing one for their legions of fans who have been there from the beginning. Here is the set list from that first show of their 2026 run.
