With the new leg, announced Friday, March 6, the rockers expand on a world tour that got underway in 2025 and visited Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, and follows the release in December of two new songs, “Nothin’” and “Atlas,” their first new music since 2023’s one-off singles “The General” and “Perhaps.” In a recent interview with Sylvia Alvarado of Las Vegas radio station KOMP 92.3, guitarist Slash said it was “good to have a couple of songs that we’re promoting and then a tour that’s really a long tour.” Slash also promised that the outfit would play new and old songs on their upcoming 2026 world tour, which is slated to start March 28 at Monterrey, Mexico’s Tecate Pa’l Norte festival, and includes dates in Europe and North America (summer) and Latin America (spring).
