The hard-rock titans Gun N’ Roses have announced plans for a massive 2026 world tour as well as two new singles set to drop next month. Following the success of their ambitious 2025 EU, Asia and Middle Eastern tours, which had them perform in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the first time, Guns N’ Roses are looking to hit North American, Latin America and EU markets once again in spring/summer 2026.
In conjunction with their 2026 world tour announcement, Guns N’ Roses are planning to release two new singles “Nothin” and “Atlas” on Tuesday, December 2nd. According to a press release sent out by the band, these new singles will be a part of the band’s new setlist along with their 2023 singles “The General” and “Perhaps.”
Guns N’ Roses’ Recent Singles And What They Indicate For The Future
Over the past few years Guns N’ Roses have released a number of singles, however, none of these songs have made a dent in their streaming numbers compared to their classic hits – 2023’s “The General” sits at a mere 4.6 millions streams on Spotify. For a band that’s considered one of the most revered hard-rock acts of all time, one would suspect that their new singles would be raking in a lot more streams than they currently are.
The spontaneity of these releases might be causing some of this discrepancy, but it could also just be the simple fact that Guns N’ Roses don’t write music they used to, and the band’s more experimental approach (as heard on “The General”) isn’t vibing with their core fans. Ever since Slash and bassist Duff McKagen rejoined the band there have been a number of talks about recording a new full length LP.
As recent as October 2025, Slash offered an update on the band’s LP stating “There’s so much material at this point — it’s a matter of having the discipline to sit down and f**king get into it. But the thing with Guns is, in my experience, you can never plan ahead. You can never sit down and go, ‘We’re going to take this time, and we’re going to do this.’ Every time we’ve done that, it falls apart.” Slash elaborated on the band’s creative process stating, “It just spontaneously happens through some sort of inspiration that triggers it. And the next thing you know, it’s off and running.”
Given the band’s more spontaneous approach to writing, in addition to their busy touring schedule, single release might be what fans should expect for the next few years. If 2008’s Chinese Democracy taught fans anything it’s that GNR take their time when it comes to putting together an LP. However, Slash and MacKagan weren’t in the band for this record, and there seems to be more urgency to release a new LP especially with all the touring GNR are doing.
