Guns N’ Roses have officially revealed the setlist for their highly anticipated 2025 “Paradise Ends” Tour — a globe-spanning farewell tour that promises to go out with a bang rather than a whisper.
After decades of chaos, charisma, and colossal anthems, Guns N’ Roses have officially revealed the setlist for their highly anticipated 2025 “Paradise Ends” Tour — a globe-spanning farewell tour that promises to go out with a bang rather than a whisper. The band, known for their unpredictable energy, musical brilliance, and raw emotion, is gearing up for what they’re calling their “final assault on the world stage.”
Designed as a spectacular goodbye to the fans and to an era of rock excess, rebellion, and glory, the “Paradise Ends” Tour will celebrate every era of Guns N’ Roses — from their blistering debut to their stadium-shaking comebacks. The tour will bring together the classic lineup of Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Dizzy Reed, and more, for a thunderous farewell to one of the greatest bands in rock history.
A Setlist That Bleeds Rock ‘n’ Roll
The band’s newly revealed setlist features 24 songs, split across two massive acts and an encore, delivering over two hours of headbanging, pyro-soaked power. Fans can expect the hits, the deep cuts, and a few emotional surprises along the way — all played with the fury and finesse that only Guns N’ Roses can deliver.
ACT I: Welcome to the Jungle, One Last Time
- Welcome to the Jungle
- It’s So Easy
- Mr. Brownstone
- Live and Let Die
- You Could Be Mine
- Chinese Democracy
- Double Talkin’ Jive
- Better
- Civil War
- Estranged
- Rocket Queen
- Don’t Cry
The tour opens the way only GNR can — with raw power and attitude. “Welcome to the Jungle” immediately sends stadiums into a frenzy, followed by a fierce run through some of the band’s grittiest and most iconic songs. Tracks like “You Could Be Mine” and “Chinese Democracy” remind fans that the band evolved, yet never lost its fire. “Estranged” and “Don’t Cry” serve as the emotional pillars of Act I, with Axl’s vocals soaring under spotlights and Slash’s solos tearing through the silence.
ACT II: The Ballads, The Bombshells, The Burnout
- 14 Years
- My Michelle
- This I Love
- Madagascar
- Pretty Tied Up
- Yesterdays
- Nightrain
- November Rain
Act II leans into the moodier, more introspective side of the band — a tribute to their darker lyrical themes and layered musicianship. “November Rain,” with full orchestral backing and a massive LED rainstorm on stage, promises to be a show-stopping moment. Axl Rose will reportedly play a custom-built grand piano for this segment, underscoring the weight of this final run. “Nightrain” brings the tempo back just in time for the finale.
Encore: Paradise Ends Here
- Patience
- Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
- Sweet Child O’ Mine
- Paradise City
The encore is pure catharsis. The crowd will sway to the acoustic strains of “Patience,” before exploding into a sea of voices during “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” “Sweet Child O’ Mine” brings the emotional climax — a reminder of what made this band global in the first place. And finally, as fireworks blaze across the sky, “Paradise City” will close the night — and eventually, the tour — with a fiery, defiant roar.
More Than a Tour — It’s the End of a Rock Era
The “Paradise Ends” Tour is more than just a farewell. It’s the closing chapter of a band that never played by the rules, never compromised, and never lost their bite. Guns N’ Roses will be playing across 40 major cities worldwide, including stops in Los Angeles, Tokyo, São Paulo, Berlin, Sydney, and of course, their spiritual home — Hollywood.
This will be the first time the band performs certain songs in over two decades, and the last time fans will get to see the original lineup share a stage. Special guests, surprise tributes, and guest guitarists are rumored to make appearances throughout the tour.
In a joint statement, Axl Rose said:
“This is it. One more ride. One more scream. One more night for the fans who kept us alive. We’re not going quietly — we’re going out in flames.”
Slash added simply: “If this is the end, we’re burning every stage down on the way out.”
Paradise Found, Paradise Lost
Guns N’ Roses changed rock music. They brought elegance to filth, melody to chaos, and beauty to destruction. As the “Paradise Ends” Tour hits arenas and stadiums worldwide, it reminds fans what true rock rebellion looks and sounds like.
It’s the end of the jungle. But the roar? That’ll echo forever.
