The tour, titled “Because What You Want & What You Get Are Two Completely Different Things,” will kick off on May 23 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and wrap up on July 31 at Germany’s Wacken Open Air festival. Notably, this will be the band’s first performance in Saudi Arabia, as well as debut shows in Georgia, Lithuania, and Luxembourg.

The 24-date tour will take the legendary rockers across countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, and the UK. A highlight for Spanish fans will be their June 9 performance at Barcelona’s Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, the tour’s sole stop in Spain.
Select shows will feature an impressive roster of special guests, including Public Enemy, Rival Sons, and a reimagined lineup of the Sex Pistols with Frank Carter. In Barcelona, Rival Sons will open the show, ensuring a powerful lead-in to Guns N’ Roses’ headlining performance.
