history in the making: guns n’ roses and iron maiden unite for an explosive final joint tour — legendary rock titans announce a farewell run across major cities worldwide, promising decades of decadence, iconic hits, and high-octane performances as two of rock’s most infamous acts take their final bow together in 2026.
rock fans around the world are bracing for one of the most monumental events in music history as guns n’ roses and iron maiden officially announce their joint farewell world tour set to launch in 2026. the two heavyweights of rock and metal are joining forces for the very first time, delivering a tour that promises to redefine live performance and celebrate decades of musical rebellion.
aptly described as a “farewell to chaos and glory,” the tour will take both bands across north america, europe, south america, asia, and australia, with each night expected to be a thunderous celebration of raw sound and shared legacy. fans can expect a marathon of anthems — from welcome to the jungle and sweet child o’ mine to the trooper and fear of the dark — performed with the same fire that made these icons household names.
sources close to both camps describe the production as “massive,” featuring dual headlining sets, groundbreaking visuals, and surprise collaborations that will make this farewell one for the ages. axl rose, slash, and bruce dickinson are reportedly working closely to create a show that pays homage not only to their individual histories but also to the enduring power of rock itself.
