American hard rock band Guns N' Roses toured throughout Asia, Europe and North America in 2023. The tour began on 1 June 2023 at the Etihad Arena and concluded on 5 November 2023 at the Hell & Heaven Metal Festival. The tour was marked by the inclusion of songs that had not been performed in a long time (notably "Anything Goes", "Bad Obsession", "Pretty Tied Up" and "Down On The Farm").[2] On August 18, 2023, at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, the band debuted the new single "Perhaps", which was released on digital platforms on the same date.[3] "The General", later released as the B-side on the "Perhaps" 7-inch vinyl in December, was performed live for the first time at the Hollywood Bowl on November 2, 2023.[4] It was the last tour to feature drummer Frank Ferrer before his departure in March 2025.[5]
