Guns N’ Roses Announce Global Stadium Tour
It’s now been seven years since Slash and Duff McKagan rejoined Guns N’ Roses and headlined Coachella. That’s longer than the span of time between Appetite For Destruction and The Spaghetti Incident? — basically the entire time that the original band spent in the public eye before splintering. Amazingly enough, this iteration of GN’R is now just a professional stadium rock institution. Slash has lately been promising “epic” new music, but Guns N’ Roses now exist to play rock anthems in stadiums for exorbitant sums of money. This year, they’ll be on the road once again.
Starting in June, Guns N’ Roses will play stadiums and arenas across Europe and North America. Drones are unwelcome, and Axl Rose will not be throwing any mics. The band is starting the tour off in Israel, and you probably shouldn’t expect any Big Thief-style self-recrimination about that routing. There will be a few festivals along the way, but most of these shows are GN’R’s own. Check out the dates below.
