Guns N' Roses touring hiatus and new music plans

Overview

Guns N’ Roses has announced plans to pause touring in 2027 to focus on the creation and development of new music. Guitarist Slash stated that the band possesses a vast amount of musical material that requires collective focus, which is difficult to achieve while traveling on tour.

Slash noted that while members often write songs individually during tours, writing as a cohesive unit is nearly impossible during active travel. The hiatus follows years of intensive global touring and aims to allow the group to dedicate necessary concentration to the songwriting and recording process.

Regarding future performance venues, Slash mentioned that while a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas has not been ruled out, the venue’s format does not currently appeal to the band. He expressed concerns that the venue prioritizes visual production over the traditional live sound setups involving large amplifier arrays that the band typically utilizes.
