Guns N' Roses, the legendary American rock band, has officially announced its first concert in South Korea since their inaugural show back in 2009. Scheduled as part of their 2025 world tour, the concert will take place on May 1, 2025, at the picturesque Songdo Moonlight Festival Park located in Inchon.
This highly anticipated performance will feature the band's iconic lineup of Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan all on stage together for the first time since their last South Korean concert. The event marks the band's return to the country after 16 long years, promising an unforgettable experience for dedicated fans.
Guns N' Roses, who have been at the forefront of rock music since their formation, debuted 39 years ago and continues to be recognized as one of the most influential bands of their genre. Their 1987 debut album, Appetite for Destruction, remains the best-selling debut album in U.S. history, achieving over 10 million copies sold. To date, the band's total album sales have surpassed 100 million worldwide, solidifying their legendary status.
During their concert, fans will be able to enjoy classic hits such as "Welcome to the Jungle," "Sweet Child O' Mine," and "November Rain," showcasing the unique style and charisma of the original band members. This concert is just one stop on their extensive 2025 world tour, which includes cities across Europe, India, and the Middle East, with performances scheduled across 21 countries including Saudi Arabia, Georgia, Lithuania, and Luxembourg.
The band's return is particularly noteworthy due to the fact it features original members who did not perform at the last concert. The excitement is palpable, with concert promoter Eight PM Entertainment confirming the full lineup's participation, stating, "Guns N' Roses will make their long-awaited return to South Korea with the original members taking the stage."
Tickets for the 2025 Guns N' Roses World Tour will be available for pre-sale starting February 26, 2025, at 8 PM through the official Eight PM Entertainment website. General sales will commence the following day at 8 PM via Ticket Link, ensuring fans have the opportunity to secure their place at this monumental event.
Given the band's storied history and spectacular past performances, the anticipation surrounding this concert is immense. Many fans are already sharing their excitement on social media, and it is clear the event will likely sell out quickly.
The comeback of Guns N' Roses not only highlights their enduring popularity but also the band’s commitment to delighting fans around the world. The 2025 South Korea show stands as part of a grander narrative where music history meets contemporary rock, and as the date approaches, fans can expect more thrilling updates about the concert and the band's extensive tour.
