AceShowbiz - Guns N' Roses launched their 2026 world tour on Saturday night in Monterrey, Mexico, delivering a powerful 26-song performance that featured the live premieres of two long-awaited tracks, "Nothin'" and "Atlas."
Both songs date back to the era of the band's Chinese Democracy sessions and were initially demoed even earlier. They were officially released in December 2025 to coincide with the announcement of the new tour, much to the excitement of fans worldwide.
Prior to their official debut, Guns N' Roses had soundchecked "Nothin'" during a show in Yokohama, Japan, in May 2025, but the Monterrey concert at Parque Fundidora marked the song’s proper live introduction. Shortly after, the band also premiered "Atlas," previously known as "Atlas Shrugged," during the same set.
The opening show also included a broad mix of the band's greatest hits along with fan-favorite covers. These included songs like Velvet Revolver's "Slither," Black Sabbath's "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath," The Damned's "New Rose," and UK Subs' "Down on the Farm," showcasing the band's diverse influences and dynamic stage presence.
Guns N' Roses headlined the Tecate Pa'l Norte festival, further cementing their status as one of rock's enduring acts as they embark on their 2026 global tour. The band's setlist spanned their entire career, from their classic debut album to their most recent releases.
