Take Me Down to the Spa City: Guns N’ Roses Coming to SPAC

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Once known as “the world’s most dangerous band,” Guns N’ Roses will perform amongst mineral springs and pine trees at the bucolic Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) on July 26.

The group’s global 2026 tour also includes stops at a number of stadiums, including MetLife in New Jersey, the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

Guns N’ Roses made their mark on music history with their 1987 debut album “Appetite for Destruction,” which featured rock anthems “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Paradise City,” and “Sweet Child o’ Mine.” The record ranks as one of the best-selling albums of all time in the United States, shipping around 18 million units. The group’s success continued into the 1990s with a series of chart-topping albums: “G N’ R Lies,” “Use Your Illusion I,” and “Use Your Illusion II.”  Today, nearly 40 years after the release of their first album, the group averages around 27 million listeners each month on Spotify.

Tickets for the Guns N’ Roses’ SPAC show will go on sale to the general public on Friday, Dec. 5 at 10 a.m.
