Guns N’ Roses have officially begun their 2026 tour and treated fans to the first ever live performances of Nothin’ and Atlas. You can find videos and the full setlist from the night below.

The concert took place at Parque Fundidora in Monterrey, Mexico on Saturday March 28 and marked the opening night of the band’s 2026 tour schedule. It follows a busy stretch of concerts last year, which concluded in October.

This tour also marks their first since drummer Frank Ferrer exited the group in 2025 after close to two decades. Just a day before the show, keyboard player Melissa Reese also shared that she would not be joining the upcoming dates due to personal matters.

Like many of their concerts, the band began the night with major fan favourites including Welcome To The Jungle and Mr Brownstone, later adding classics such as Paradise City, Don’t Cry, Civil War, November Rain, and their take on Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door as the show continued.

Along with their well known version of the Bob Dylan song, Axl Rose and the rest of the band also performed several other covers during the night. These included Black Sabbath’s Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Wings’ Live And Let Die, Velvet Revolver’s Slither, The Damned’s New Rose, and UK Subs’ Down On The Farm.

The Monterrey performance also included the first live performances of their newer songs Nothin’ and Atlas, which were originally released in December. See the full setlist and clips from the show below.

Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields Festival Raises $20 Million

Olivia Rodrigo generated an impressive $10 million through the first Daisy Chain Fields Festival. The final amount then reached $20 million after philanthropist Melinda French Gates pledged to match the original total.

Before beginning her headline performance at the festival in Irvine, California, on Saturday, Rodrigo thanked the audience for supporting the event. She announced that the festival, which featured a strong lineup including Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Garbage and several others, had collected $10 million. Rodrigo then shared that Gates had donated an additional $10 million, raising the combined figure to $20 million.

“Daisy Chain Fields is about what can happen when we come together and use our collective power to support one another,” Rodrigo said. “I’m incredibly grateful to Melinda and Pivotal for believing in this mission and making the impact of our first festival twice as powerful. Most of all, I’m so excited about what this means for the incredible organizations we’re supporting and the women, girls and communities they show up for every single day.”

Gates appeared alongside Rodrigo onstage and praised the singer for the charitable work behind Daisy Chain Fields. “Olivia Rodrigo is a force,” French Gates said. “What Daisy Chain Fields sets in motion will last far beyond a single night, by opening up opportunity for women and girls around the world and showing a new generation how much their voices matter. I’m so proud to support Olivia’s vision.”

The full $20 million will be divided evenly among 10 nonprofit groups that provide support to women and girls. The selected organisations are Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Center for Reproductive Rights, FreeForm, Jhpiego, Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National Institute for Reproductive Health, National Women’s Law Center and Planned Parenthood.

Festival visitors also watched performances from Bikini Kill, Eli, Mitski, Not for Radio, Rachel Chinouriri, Santigold, the Breeders and many more artists. During the event, attendees were invited to discover more about the supported nonprofit groups through Daisy Chain Reaction, an initiative that provided information about their work and individual causes.
