Rock legends Guns N' Roses are hitting the road again — and this time, they're bringing their explosive live show to the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. The band confirmed a stop on their 2026 World Tour for Wednesday, September 16, 2026, marking their first major Texas stadium show since 2023. Tickets go on public sale Friday, December 5, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time, but fans who’ve been waiting for this moment won’t have to wait that long — presales start as early as December 2.
Presales, Pricing, and How to Get Tickets
The first crack at tickets belongs to members of Nightrain, the band’s official fan club. Those who signed up before the December 1, 2025 deadline will receive unique presale codes starting Tuesday, December 2, at 10:00 AM CT. Then, on Wednesday, December 3, an artist presale opens for those who registered directly through Guns N' Roses’ official presale portal — a move that’s become standard for major acts looking to reward loyal fans before the public scramble.
By Friday, December 5, the gates open to everyone. Ticketmaster and SeatGeek both list starting prices around $121, though prices climb fast for floor seats, VIP packages, or anything within 10 rows of the stage. The Alamodome, with a concert capacity near 65,000, is no small stage — and demand for Guns N' Roses tickets rarely disappoints. In fact, the band’s last tour sold out 100+ dates across North America, with fans reporting that Axl Rose’s voice has never sounded tighter and the band’s energy more electric.
What to Expect at the Alamodome
The Alamodome isn’t just a venue — it’s a San Antonio landmark. Located at 100 Montana Street, it’s hosted everything from NCAA basketball to NFL preseason games, but nothing quite matches the raw, unfiltered chaos of a Guns N' Roses show. The venue’s North Plaza will serve as the main entry point, with a dedicated drop-off zone at 500 Tower of Americas Way (Lot D) offering a direct pedestrian path to security checkpoint A. Parking? Downtown San Antonio’s network of garages and surface lots is mapped out on the Alamodome’s website — but good luck finding a spot after 4 p.m. on show day.
Concert start time is still TBA, though Ticketmaster’s unofficial listing suggests 6:25 PM. That’s typical for stadium shows — late enough for fans to drive in, grab a beer, and settle in before the fireworks begin. And they will begin. The band’s 2023 Charlotte and Hollywood Bowl shows clocked in at over two hours, with encore sets that left audiences breathless. One fan, who saw them for the fifth time in October 2023, wrote: “They get better and better. Axl to me was better than ever.”
Why This Tour Matters
This isn’t just another tour date. It’s the continuation of a legacy. After their 2021-2023 “We’re F’N’ Back!” tour — which reunited the classic lineup of Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan — Guns N' Roses proved they weren’t a nostalgia act. They were a force. And now, with the 2026 World Tour, they’re doing what few bands their age dare to: touring globally, selling out stadiums, and still sounding like they mean every note.
There’s something poetic about San Antonio getting this stop. It’s a city that loves its music — from Tejano to rock — and has a history of turning out in droves for legacy acts. The Alamodome has seen U2, Metallica, and Taylor Swift, but Guns N' Roses? They bring a different kind of thunder. The kind that starts with a single snare hit and ends with a guitar solo that echoes for miles.
What’s Next?
More dates are expected to be announced in the coming months. Rumors suggest stops in Denver, Atlanta, and possibly a second Texas show in Houston. VIP packages, including meet-and-greets and exclusive merchandise, are likely to drop alongside the December presales. The band’s official site, gunsnroses.com, remains the only reliable source for accurate information — and yes, despite SeatGeek’s current “no upcoming shows” message, the Alamodome and Ticketmaster listings are confirmed.
For longtime fans, this is more than a concert. It’s a reunion. For new listeners, it’s a chance to witness rock history live. Either way, September 16, 2026, will be a date etched in memory.

How long do Guns N' Roses concerts usually last?
Recent shows in 2023 lasted over two hours, with encores pushing end times past 10 p.m. The band typically opens with classics like “Welcome to the Jungle” and closes with “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” often adding deep cuts and new arrangements. Axl Rose has been praised for his vocal stamina, and the current lineup delivers a tight, high-energy performance rarely seen from bands with this much history.

Yes. The current touring lineup — Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer, and Melissa Reese — remains unchanged since their 2021 reunion. This group has been widely regarded as the most stable and musically cohesive version of the band since the 1980s, with Slash’s guitar work and Rose’s commanding stage presence drawing praise from critics and fans alike.
Why does SeatGeek say there are no upcoming shows?
This is a known system delay on SeatGeek’s end. Multiple authoritative sources — including the official Guns N' Roses website, the Alamodome’s event calendar, and Ticketmaster — confirm the September 16, 2026 date. SeatGeek’s data often lags behind primary ticketing partners. Always verify tour dates through the band’s official site or the venue’s page.
What’s the significance of the Alamodome for this tour?
The Alamodome is one of the largest multi-purpose venues in Texas, capable of holding over 65,000 fans for concerts. For Guns N' Roses, it’s a rare chance to play a true stadium show in the heart of Texas — a state they’ve historically toured but rarely headlined at this scale. It’s also a symbolic stop on a global tour that’s bringing them back to the big leagues after years of arena-sized gigs.
