Guns N' Roses to rock Abu Dhabi this May – and here's how to get tickets

Partner Content: The band is making a return to the capital.

Abu Dhabi is turning up the volume this summer, and leading the charge is none other than Guns N’ Roses. The legendary rock band is making a triumphant return to the capital for one night only — and it’s shaping up to be a show for the ages.

Set to take over Etihad Arena on Monday, 27 May 2025, the performance promises an evening of electrifying energy, head-banging hits, and the band’s iconic stage presence. If you missed their sold-out performance in 2023, this is your shot at redemption.

Formed in 1985, Guns N’ Roses shook the music scene with their debut album Appetite for Destruction in 1987. Fast forward nearly four decades, and the band still holds its crown, boasting more than 24 million monthly listeners on Spotify and a resume that includes Coachella headliners and the record-breaking Not In This Lifetime… Tour. The current lineup — Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer and Melissa Reese — continues to carry the torch with unapologetic swagger.

Expect an epic setlist stacked with fan favourites like Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door, November Rain, Sweet Child O’ Mine and Welcome to the Jungle. Whether you’ve been a fan since day one or are just discovering the rock legends, this is a concert that demands your attention.

If you’re after cool concerts, there are big stars coming to the UAE. Upcoming concerts include Kygo at Coca-Cola Arena on 30 May, Mary J. Blige at Coca-Cola Arena on 24 June, Jennifer Lopez at Etihad Arena on 29 July, Enrique Iglesias at Etihad Arena on 1 November and Katy Perry at Etihad Park on 7 December.

Tickets are now on sale, starting from AED 325 and reaching up to AED 1,095 for premium spots.

Don’t sleep on this — a night of pure rock nostalgia awaits.
