STADIUM TOUR
Billboard confirms Guns N’ Roses reunion is a go
Billboard — According to a brand new article on Billboard’s official online website – the Guns N’ Roses reunion is on. The article was posted today and is naming events, dollar amounts and more.
The article starts off with naming Axl Rose and Slash as the founding members that will headline the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in the spring.
Guns N’ Roses, with founding members Axl Rose and Slash, will headline the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., set for April 15-17 and April 22-24, according to multiple sources. The reunited band is also negotiating with promoters to play as many as 25 football stadiums in North America in the summer of 2016, and is scheduled to be one of the first acts to play the new Las Vegas Arena, set to open April 6. Guns N’ Roses is said to be asking as much as $3 million per show, with tickets topping out in the $250-$275 range.
The band has been dropping hints in recent days but it’s not all new. It seems this reunion has been in the works for the better part of a year. Clearly taking on something this monsterous is not easily done, and not done overnight.
Throughout 2015 select members of Axl’s latest lineup had made it known they are no longer involved was a telling hint. But none more than Slash acknowleding he and Axl had essentially ‘burried the hatchet’ during an interview with a Swedish Tv outlet in August 2015.
The Billboard post even goes as far as to say it’s a ‘confirmation’ as noted in the paragraph below.
Billboard’s confirmation comes on the heels of two rumor-inducing hints dropped over the past week, the first a cryptic update to the Guns N’ Roses website and the second during screenings of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, where footage of a concert crowd was shown with GN’R music overdubbed. Though longtime fans may be understandably wary after the decade-plus wait for Chinese Democracy, which became a totem of sorts to frontman Axl Rose’s sometimes unpredictable behavior, this reunion bears no sign of that record’s bumpy road.
