Guns N Roses announce two Hollywood Bowl shows

The shows take place in November

Guns N’ Roses will return to Los Angeles this November to play the iconic Hollywood Bowl for the first time ever. This headlining two-night stint on November 1st and 2nd will also feature special guest five-time Grammy Award-winning 21st century rock stalwarts The Black Keys. These shows will mark the first time the band has played LA since 2021 and also wrap up the band’s 2023 US tour.

Nightrain presales for the two new dates will occur on Tuesday, October 10th at 10 am local time. Additional sales run throughout the week with the general on sale starting Friday, October 13th at 10 am local time.

In conjunction with the Hollywood Bowl shows, GNR has announced a partnership with the Los Angeles County Parks Foundation (LACPF). A portion of the proceeds from every ticket will be donated to the organization, which supports park programs for under-served communities, seniors, and youth, including the development of environmental education programs. In addition to the donation, Guns ‘N Roses will be designing a special commemorative t-shirt with proceeds also going to LACPF and available only at the Hollywood Bowl shows.

The two-night stand on Hollywood’s most hallowed stage continues a triumphant California homecoming for the band that began over the weekend when they delivered a seismic set at the inaugural Power Trip festival in Indio, California. Over the course of their career, GNR has left their mark up and down the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, The Troubadour, The Forum, BMO Stadium, Dodgers Stadium and The Palladium a few blocks down the road. However, this will be the first time the band descends upon the Hollywood Hills’ Hollywood Bowl. It is a full-circle moment and the perfect way to cap off their recent North American tour.

The 2023 World Tour marks the first time the group has toured North America since the monumental We’re F’N Back! Tour in 2021, which also steamrolled stadiums coast-to-coast including their first headliner at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles, CA.

Over the summer, the band premiered and released “Perhaps,” the band’s first new single since “Absurd” followed by “Hard Skool” which were released in 2021. “Perhaps” was written and recorded by Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan this year, and is their first collective new composition and recording together in thirty years since 1993’s The Spaghetti Incident?
