One of Vancouver's biggest stadium nights of the summer
Guns N' Roses arrive at BC Place with one of the most bankable live shows in rock. The band has sold more than 100 million records across a career approaching 40 years, and its recent global touring has ranked among the highest-grossing of all time. For Vancouver, this is a rare stadium-scale visit from a group whose catalog, from Appetite for Destruction to Use Your Illusion I and II, still fills rooms on name recognition alone.
The current lineup pairs the classic core of Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan, reunited on the road since 2016, with longtime members Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus and Melissa Reese alongside drummer Isaac Carpenter. The 2026 World Tour opened on March 28 at the Tecate Pa'l Norte festival in Monterrey, Mexico, before rolling through North American stadiums across the summer, with Canadian stops that also include Toronto and Edmonton.
On this run, the set leans on the essentials that made the band famous, including "Welcome to the Jungle," "Sweet Child O' Mine," "Paradise City" and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," while making room for deeper cuts and the group's two newest singles, "Atlas" and "Nothin'," both of which debuted live when the tour opened. Guns N' Roses concerts are known for running long, often past the three-hour mark, so plan for a full night at BC Place.
Support comes from The Black Crowes, the Robinson brothers' hard-rocking blues-rock outfit behind Shake Your Money Maker and songs such as "Hard to Handle" and "She Talks to Angels." Touring again after their own reunion in recent years, they are a fitting warm-up for a night built on classic American rock.
