First, the start time for the main event. Guns N’ Roses are scheduled to hit the Wembley Stadium stage around 8:00 PM local time. But hold your horses—this isn’t a simple “doors open, band plays” situation.
Before Axl, Slash, and Duff even think about walking on stage, you’ve got support acts to enjoy. For this tour, expect the opener to kick off around 6:30 PM (give or take fifteen minutes, because rock stars are allergic to rigid schedules).
So, if you roll up at 7:55 PM thinking you’ll saunter in for the headliner, you’ll be met with a queue longer than a “November Rain” guitar solo. Pro tip: aim to be inside by 6:00 PM to grab a drink and find your spot.
But Wait—What About “Paradise City”?
Here’s the fun part: Guns N’ Roses are notorious for starting late. Like, “Axl decides he needs another cup of tea” late. Historically, they’ve been known to wander on stage anywhere from 8:30 PM to 9:15 PM. It’s part of the charm, honestly.
Think of it this way: you’re not just waiting for a band; you’re participating in a tradition. You’ll bond with strangers over the collective, “Are they coming?” anxiety. And when the lights finally drop? Pure catharsis.
If you’re the type who needs a schedule, just assume the main set runs until roughly 11:00 PM or 11:30 PM. They’ll play “Sweet Child O’ Mine” somewhere in there, and you’ll cry happy tears. It’s science.
