Metallica and Guns N’ Roses Announce “Epic Final Tour” – A Monumental Farewell to Rock Legends
Two of the most iconic names in rock history, Metallica and Guns N’ Roses, are joining forces for what is being hailed as the “Epic Final Tour”—a massive, globe-spanning farewell that promises to be one of the most historic events in music history. This unprecedented collaboration marks not only a reunion of two legendary bands but also a celebration of decades of ground-breaking music, unforgettable performances, and the rebellious spirit of rock ‘n’ roll.
Set to kick off in early 2026, the tour will span over 30 countries across six continents, featuring stadium-sized shows in cities such as Los Angeles, Tokyo, London, Rio de Janeiro, Berlin, Sydney, and Johannesburg. Both bands have promised full-length headline sets, unique collaborations, and surprise guest appearances that will honor their storied past and influence on generations of rock fans.
Metallica, with over 125 million albums sold worldwide, and Guns N’ Roses, whose explosive debut *Appetite for Destruction* remains one of the best-selling albums of all time, share a storied history. Their first joint tour in 1992 became legendary—equal parts groundbreaking and chaotic—and still echoes through rock lore. This final tour aims to rekindle that same fire while offering fans a more refined, though no less electrifying, experience.
In a joint statement, Metallica’s James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, along with Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose and guitarist Slash, expressed their excitement: “This tour isn’t just about saying goodbye—it’s about celebrating everything we’ve built, together and with our fans. We’re going to give it everything we’ve got, one last time.”
Beyond just music, the tour will also serve as a tribute to the legacy of rock and the cultural impact both bands have had for over four decades. VIP packages will include exclusive memorabilia, backstage experiences, and limited-edition releases, ensuring that this farewell is as immersive as it is emotional.
For fans of hard rock, this is more than a concert—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Tickets are expected to sell out quickly, with pre-sales launching later this year. The “Epic Final Tour” isn’t just a goodbye; it’s a thunderous salute to the raw power, passion, and rebellion that defined ageneration.
