Guns N’ Roses are set to electrify South Korea on May 1, 2025, at Songdo Moonlight Festival Park in Incheon. Returning to South Korea nearly four decades after their debut, the legendary hard rock band will perform a one-night-only concert as part of their "Because What You Want & What You Get Are Two Completely Different Things" tour.

​

Formed in Los Angeles in 1985 through the merger of L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose, Guns N’ Roses became rock legends with their raw energy and rebellious spirit. With chart-topping hits like "Welcome to the Jungle," "Paradise City," and "Sweet Child O’ Mine," the band has shaped rock history. Their accolades include three Grammy nominations, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, and over 100 million records sold worldwide. Led by Axl Rose and guitarist Slash, they are set to deliver an unforgettable rock experience in Incheon.

​

South Korea has become a key destination for global artists, with major musicians expanding their tours and collaborating with K-pop icons like BTS , Black Pink, and Stray Kids, etc. Recognizing the nation’s cultural influence, artists such as Bruno Mars, Sam Smith, Dua Lipa, Travis Scott, and Coldplay have tapped into this growing market to connect with new audiences, boost ticket sales, and explore future collaborations. This trend underscores South Korea’s strategic use of entertainment as a tool of soft power and diplomacy. With a thriving music scene, cutting-edge venues, and an enthusiastic fan base, South Korea continues to rise as a global entertainment hub for international concerts and collaborations.

​

Leading this initiative is W Korea, a distinguished global marketing and event management company that facilitates collaboration between international artists and South Korea’s vibrant entertainment sector. With strong ties in countries such as the UK, Europe, India, Japan, and Thailand , W Korea is partnering with 8 pm Entertainment, a leading concert organizer in South Korea, to present Guns N’ Roses at Songdo Moonlight Festival Park in Incheon. 8 pm Entertainment has previously hosted iconic musicians, including Yngwie Malmsteen, at Korea University’s Hwajeong Tiger Dome.
