Rock icons Guns N’ Roses will bring their massive World Tour 2026 to McDonald Jones Stadium on Tuesday, 8 December, giving local fans the chance to see one of the biggest bands on the planet right here in the Hunter.
With demand expected to be huge, securing tickets will come down to knowing the presales and getting in fast.
The tour lands in Australia and New Zealand after a huge run across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. It also arrives off the back of two new singles, Atlas and Nothin’, the band’s first fresh material since 2023.
Newcastle is one of only six Australian cities hosting the tour, with support from hard-rock heavyweights Airbourne.
