Guns N’ Roses, the partially intact band that performed the first rock concert at Allegiant Stadium in 2021, is returning five years later for an encore.

Founding members Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan (along with the current cast of extras yet to run afoul of the famously mercurial Rose) will lay rock n’ roll siege to the football stadium on Aug. 22, 2026, as part of a new world tour opening on March 28 in Mexico and closing on September 19 in Atlanta.

Guns N’ Roses never played Las Vegas in their prime (1987-1991). Their first appearance in town wasn’t until 2001 at the original Hard Rock. But those two shows — as well as 2012 and 2014 residencies at the same venue — only featured Rose, who owned the band name, performing alone with backing musicians.

Slash and Duff returned to the fold for two reunion shows with Rose at T-Mobile Arena in April 2016, just after that venue opened, and two more at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in 2019. This core founding triad (drummer Steven Adler was fired in 1990, and original rhythm guitarist and main songwriter Izzy Stradlin quit in 1991) has remained stable since 2016.

Their 2021 show at Allegiant, on Aug. 27, 2021, was the new stadium’s first rock concert, following appearances by country legend Garth Brooks on July 10, and EDM performer Illenium on July 3 of that same year.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 am PT Friday, December 5, at Ticketmaster.com.

Power of Loggins

Kenny Loggins will be honored and perform at the 30th annual “Keep Memory Alive Power of Love” gala on Feb. 14, 2026, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The 77-year-old sultan of soundtracks (“I’m Alright” from “Caddyshack”/”Danger Zone” from “Top Gun”/title track to “Footloose”) began his career with Loggins and Messina, which cranked out hits, starting with “Your Mama Don’t Dance,” from 1972 to 1976.

“Five decades ago, I began a musical journey that’s been nothing short of magical,” Loggins said in a statement. “I’m incredibly humbled to see these songs continue to find new life with new fans after all these years.”

Though the rest of the bill for the event (which benefits the Cleveland Clink Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health) has yet to be announced, past performers have included Andrea Bocelli, Michael Bublé, Bono, Alice Cooper, Kevin Cronin, Billy Ray Cyrus, Celine Dion, Snoop Dogg, CeeLo Green, Enrique Iglesias, Jon Bon Jovi, Carole King, LL Cool J, Lenny Kravitz, Queen Latifah, John Legend, Barry Manilow, Ricky Martin, John Mayer, Michael McDonald, Lionel Richie, Blake Shelton, Rick Springfield, Shania Twain and Stevie Wonder.
