Guns N’ Roses are rolling back into Australia, and this time they’re doing it with engines screaming underneath them.
The legendary Guns N’ Roses will headline the 2026 bp Adelaide Grand Final Sunday Concert, closing out Australia’s biggest domestic motorsport event on Sunday, November 29th at Adelaide’s iconic street circuit.
Fresh off a sprawling 2025 world tour that cut through Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America, Guns N’ Roses’ Adelaide appearance lands as the band enters a rare creative upswing. The announcement arrives alongside the release of two new singles, ‘Nothin’’ and ‘Atlas’, marking their first new material since 2023.
‘Atlas’ leans into urgency and scale, while ‘Nothin’’ strips things back with keys-forward restraint and emotional guitar work, it’s a reminder that Guns N’ Roses are still capable of moving beyond pure nostalgia when they want to.
The band will take the stage after the Supercars finale, soundtracking the final night of an event that has quietly become a juggernaut. Last year’s bp Adelaide Grand Final pulled 285,700 attendees, outdrawing both the AFL and NRL Grand Finals, and has now won Best Supercars Event of the Year four years running (per Supercars).
South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas said:
“The bp Adelaide Grand Final has fast become one of the biggest sporting events in Australia and having icons of rock Guns N’ Roses headline the Sunday night will ensure the 2026 event closes on the ultimate high.
“This is exactly what the bp Adelaide Grand Final does best, combining elite motorsport with iconic world-class live entertainment to create an unforgettable experience for fans. We’re thrilled to have secured not only a legendary rock band, but also the Supercars decider through to 2034.
“We’re incredibly proud to continue providing South Australians and visitors alike with iconic racing and entertainment, while driving significant economic and tourism benefits for the state.”
South Australian Motorsport Concert Manager Brian Gleeson added:
“Our headline concerts are annually a defining moment of the bp Adelaide Grand Final, providing electrifying entertainment long after the chequered flag.
“Guns N’ Roses is the perfect act to celebrate everything the bp Adelaide Grand Final delivers to fans – adrenaline, atmosphere and high-octane entertainment.”
