Slash Reveals Why Guns N’ Roses Won’t Tour in 2027
Guns N’ Roses are expected to take a break from touring in 2027 so they can bring together a substantial backlog of new material. Slash said the songs are varied and need focused work, which is difficult while the band is on the road.
Slash described the band’s recent touring as a particularly enjoyable period, praising its latest US and European runs. The group has played across Latin America, the US and Europe in 2026, with shows in Singapore, Australia and New Zealand scheduled for November and the end of the year.

Guns N’ Roses are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in the 1980s. Their best-known members include singer Axl Rose and guitarist Slash, who left the group in the 1990s and later rejoined.
The band has continued to tour and release music, though its newer songs have appeared less often than its classic hits. Writing and recording as a group takes time, and touring can make it harder for musicians to work together on new material.
A pause in touring would give the band more time to develop its songs. The decision matters to fans because live shows are a major part of the group’s recent activity, while new releases have been less frequent.
