It's going to be 'Welcome to the Jungle' for much of Auckland on Saturday, with Waitangi events, the NRL Nines at Eden Park, and then Guns N' Roses at nearby Western Springs Stadium.

Crowds of league and classic rock fans are expected to tackle both of the latter events, so Nines promoters Downer and Auckland Council have mapped out the best way to get from the Nines to Guns N' Roses on foot.

It's a 25 minute walk from Eden Park, over the Bond St bridge, through Arch Hill Scenic Reserve and through to Western Springs Stadium, Auckland Transport says.

Duco general manager Trina Tamati says they've changed the draw times of the rugby league tournament to allow plenty of time for fans to get to Guns N' Roses.

A liquor ban will be in place on the walking route.

For Guns N' Roses fans from further afar, there's free travel with your concert ticket on trains and event buses.
