Legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses will revisit Budapest as part of their world tour next year, according to the event organisers, Live Nation.
A world tour with iconic stops
The 2025 world tour will see Guns N’ Roses performing as headliners at major stadiums and festivals across Europe and the Middle East from May to late July. The tour kicks off on May 23 and spans 24 days, with stops in countries including Saudi Arabia, Georgia, Luxembourg, Bulgaria, Serbia, Turkey, Portugal, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, Germany, the UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, and Austria.
Public Enemy will open select concerts, including Budapest. Other supporting acts during the tour include Rival Sons and the reformed Sex Pistols with Frank Carter.
Budapest and Guns N’ Roses: A rich history
This will mark the fourth time Guns N’ Roses performs in Hungary. The band first played in Budapest during their peak in May 1992 at the Népstadion, sharing the stage with Soundgarden and Faith No More. They returned 14 years later in 2006, performing at the Papp László Budapest Sportaréna, although the concert became infamous for starting two and a half hours late.
Last year, after a 17-year gap, Guns N’ Roses performed at the Puskás Aréna, with all standing tickets selling out within minutes.
The legacy of Guns N’ Roses
Formed in 1985, Guns N’ Roses has sold over 100 million albums worldwide. The band’s original lineup worked together until the mid-1990s, after which frontman Axl Rose continued the group. In 2016, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan rejoined, reuniting the core of the classic lineup.
The band’s albums from 1987 to 1993, including Appetite for Destruction, GN’R Lies, Use Your Illusion I & II, and The Spaghetti Incident?, were massive hits. Their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, remains the best-selling debut album in U.S. history. At one point, the two volumes of Use Your Illusion simultaneously held the top two spots on the U.S. album charts.
The music video for their iconic song “November Rain” has surpassed 2 billion views on YouTube, and the band averages 24 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
