Guns N' Roses will play the Rose Bowl on Saturday, Sept. 5, returning to Pasadena for the first time in 34 years.
The band last performed at the stadium on Oct. 3, 1992, co-headlining with Metallica on a joint stadium tour. Comedian Andrew Dice Clay introduced Guns N' Roses before they took the stage that night, according to accounts of the tour.
Ice Cube joins as special guest.
The Saturday show is one stop on the Guns N' Roses 2026 World Tour, a Live Nation production. The North American leg launched July 23 in Raleigh, North Carolina, and wraps up Sept. 19 in Atlanta. Time Out Los Angeles described the tour's sets as "blistering, if often uneven and overlong," running close to three hours with pyrotechnics and a finale during "Paradise City."
The show begins at 6:25 p.m. at 1001 Rose Bowl Drive. Parking areas open at 2:25 p.m., and the stadium advises anyone arriving after 5 p.m. to expect traffic delays, according to Pasadena Now. On-site parking costs $64 in advance or $75 on the day of the show. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, with prices varying by section.
The band also partnered with fundraising platform Fandiem on a charity sweepstakes benefiting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). The sweepstakes, which closed Aug. 21, offered a winner and guest a VIP concert package including premium pit tickets, round-trip airfare, a three-night hotel stay, a behind-the-scenes production tour, an onstage group photo and limited-edition merchandise.
Bob Gebbia, CEO of the AFSP, said in a July 29 statement that the organization is "grateful to Guns N' Roses and Fandiem for their extraordinary support …" He added that music "has a unique ability to reduce stigma and start conversations that save lives."
Rose Bowl Stadium called the concert a historic return, the band's first at the venue in more than three decades. For more information, the venue can be reached at (626) 577-3100 or rosebowlstadium.com.
