Guns N' Roses Open Their Two-Night Stand at Hard Rock Live — April 30, 2026

Hard Rock Live in Hollywood has hosted some of the most memorable nights in South Florida's concert history. Guns N' Roses on April 30 added another one to the list.

Guns N' Roses opened their two-night stand at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood on April 30 with a 28-song set that was, by any measure, one of the longest and most varied of the World Tour 2026 . The band arrived in South Florida in peak form, and the first night made clear that these two shows were going to be events. After the customary opening of "Welcome to the Jungle," the set moved through "Bad Obsession," "Mr. Brownstone," and a Velvet Revolver cover of "Slither" before a Black Sabbath detour — a full performance of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" — that drew a thunderous response. "Estranged" and "You Could Be Mine" followed before the tour debut of "Better," one of the highlights of Chinese Democracy, which arrived to genuine surprise and sustained applause. "Civil War" closed with a Jimi Hendrix "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" outro that extended the song into something genuinely unexpected. "Atlas," a Misfits cover of "Attitude," and a full performance of "Coma" preceded band introductions and a Slash guitar solo. The set closed with "Sweet Child o' Mine," "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," "November Rain," "This I Love," "Nightrain," and "Paradise City" — a closing sequence that felt like a victory lap for one of rock's most enduring catalogs.
