Attitude Bring Guns N’ Roses Spirit to Tirana's Check In Festival

On September 27th, Italia Square in Tirana pulsed with pure rock ’n’ roll nostalgia as Attitude, the renowned Guns N’ Roses tribute band from Bergamo, Italy, took the stage for Check In Festival. It didn’t take long for the crowd to realize they weren’t just watching a tribute act—they were witnessing the closest thing to the real deal.

From the very first riff, Attitude proved why they’ve earned their reputation as the best Guns N’ Roses cover band around. The sound was uncanny, every note and every vocal line landing with precision. The guitars snarled and screamed with that unmistakable GNR bite, the drums pounded with swagger, and the vocals soared with raw grit, channeling the spirit of Axl Rose in his prime. Close your eyes, and you’d swear it was 1987 again. Open them, and the band had the look nailed too—the hair, the leather, the attitude, everything dialed in with near-reverential attention to detail.

The setlist was a nonstop ride through the band’s most iconic hits. Every classic anthem was there, each one delivered with the kind of energy that had the audience singing along word for word. Italia Square turned into a sea of raised hands, dancing feet, and voices carried into the night sky. From the crunchy guitars to the soaring solos, it was a masterclass in how to honor a legacy while keeping the crowd fully engaged.

What made the night special wasn’t just how closely Attitude mirrored the original, but how much fun they made it. They weren’t going through the motions—they were living it, channeling the chaos, power, and swagger that defined Guns N’ Roses at their peak. The crowd fed off that energy, moving and roaring louder with every song. It was a reminder that these songs, decades later, still have the power to ignite a festival crowd and bring generations together.

By the end of their set, it didn’t feel like anyone had watched a tribute band—it felt like Tirana had hosted a genuine GNR experience. Attitude brought the fire, the ferocity, and the finesse of one of rock’s greatest bands, and left the audience with the unforgettable sense of having witnessed something authentic.

At Check In Festival, on that September night, Attitude didn’t just play Guns N’ Roses. They became them. And for the people packed into Italia Square, it was as real as it gets.
