Here Today... Gone To Hell!

http://www.abcnyheter.no/node/108004

according to this newspaper gnr is scheduled for a european tour with 2 stops in norway....
as usual, don't believe it til uncle axl confirms...

i've heard rumours of a  couple festival stops over here, but no talk of a tour until these guys mentioned it

FUCK YES!!!!!

The source is Live Nation!

Go to livenation.no.....

This is as official as it gets (besides GN'R confirming themselves)

oh well, if axl decides not to drop by i'll have to get a refund cause i just pre ordered the tickets xD

The Live Nation press release says that the European leg of the world tour kicks off in Bergen on May 31. Seems like this will be the next GN'R show then.

Unless they decide to do some warm up shows elsewhere of course.


Here's the dates:

May 31 - Vestlandshallen, Bergen - Norway (Capacity up to 10,000, all standing tickets)

June 2 - Oslo Spektrum, Oslo - Norway (Capacity about 9,700)

additional info from me: as this news just broke out, me and the missus have started planning a M&G and will be in contact with Oslo Spektrum about renting a space to hang out prior to the gig......will post more info when we eventually get that lady in charge to answer her phone xD
so, if anyone wanna hang out....keep an eye out for an M&G announcement regarding Oslo...would be awesome to see some other downloading motherfuckers besides me :P

This is just awesome... I live in Bergen. Tickets go on sale Monday as it seems.....  :beer:

-Eirik

A month and a half? Not bad. I thought we'd wait more. Please, since GnR will play festivals, release a pro-shot recording of any show. This is the best GnR tour ever imo and I'd kill anyone to watch a pro-shot recording of any fucking show. At least a soundboard, please! :drool:

Ticket prices are pretty high in my oppinion. 83 euro's or 112 US$ is a lot of mony these days.

it's not that bad actually....the price is only about 150 NOK more than 4 years ago....
in comparison, GNR charges now 570 NOK....
last year one of my co workers went to see Elton John, he wanted close to 1500 Nok :S

I wonder if guns will attempt to play bigger venues like they've done on this tour in Europe.

JA!! This is fucking amazing! i cant stand fucking belive it!! see u there people!! LOVE IT!  : ok:

Nice...thanks for posting.  :)

I think I'll attend both concerts.  : ok:

Awesome!  :peace:

Damn, i only get to attend the Oslo concert.. but anyways! i may be able to see them in southern europe later.. i hope.. =)

Me and my wife are up for that mate:)

after getting kicked around a bit with confusing messages from the folks, we finally found the right guy to contact regarding a M&G...we think, unless he too states we need that other guy over there.....as the 3 persons before him did  :rofl:

I hope they play in Madrid.....btw 82? is very expensive! i will go for sure,but that means that my friends would not come.They are not huge fans so .....

I hope to attend the Oslo concert. Count me in for the gathering before the concert and my wife.

Congrats to Norway! Hope its for real! :D

What he said! :)

Just bought tickets to both Bergen and Oslo!!  :beer:

they are on sale already?

Also a good sign, that they already selling tickets via livenation.  : ok:

atleast this time around we don't have to worry bout those damn swedes keeping uncle axl longer :hihi:

Doesn't work for me ?

Finally, FINALLY! Sorry, just had to shout, I've been waiting for this for so f***ing long! I am going to Oslo, just try and stop me now! I want my ticket now! (and one for my husband, I don't want to go alone).

But how on earth did you guys manage to buy/reserve these tickets already now???

if you're registered at live nation there was a special pre sale for registered thingy's from 11-17 today  :beer:

Still no official saying at the guns n roses thing on facebook, or at gunsnroses.com....
Hopefully, soon though.... wanna wait untill it says there, before buying planetickets for Oslo as well.

-E

It's livenation, guess you can rely on it.

Interesting. Great for the swedish and norwegian fans! I'd like to know if there will be any arenas dates in UK, France, Italy, etc.

I certainly hope so.  It sounds like they will be in Europe for a while, so I hope they hit all the states they can.

Ali

Without wanting to jinx anything, I'm hoping this is a sign that the band really is going to do a *massive* European tour this summer and play the fuck out of every country. The rumoured Russia show would make sense after Norway (St. Petersburg... they should pull out Sympathy for the Devil for that show!). Heck do St. Petersberg and Moscow if they can...then go back across the continent.

We are waiting for Belgrade confirmation

Confirmation for the whole tour at once would be nice, makes it easier to plan the summer :peace:

Kyrie...lets hope so. Looking at the starting dates and potential end dates we could be in line for a 3 month tour of Europe assuming no midway breaks. I hope the GNR fans get a visit to their country.

Arrggghh, and naturally I missed that, I just hate that kind of window of opportunity things. Now I will be worried until Monday that it's gonna be sold out and I won't get no ticket. F***. I guess I'll just have to be in front of the computer at 9 sharp, with a credit card...

The good news is there's two shows! If you're able to attend either one, you have good chances of getting tickets.. ;)

I live in Troms?, so for me, since I'm still going south, I might as well attend both. :)

Just for information..

I bought my tickets just before the pre-sale ended, and I ordered seats. I was unable to order two seats next to eachother in the best sections. These concerts are gonna sell very well!

Awesome!

Count me in for both.

This is good news, lets hope more dates for Europe/UK are announced soon.

YAY for coming to Norway!!  :beer:

F***, this is just what I was afraid of. I want the best tickets, no matter the cost. I want to go to Oslo because it's easier for me to get there and I have babysitter available. Bergen is the worst case scenario option for me.

i'm attending both....! : ok: :peace: :rofl: :love: :beer: :beer: :drool:

Love the idea of GNR doing this in Europe Kyrie.....Bored now so thought would have fun with this.

possible 3 months (potential approx 40 dates but not in order)

UK- Reading, Leeds festivals (confirmed) arenas in London x 2, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle or Belfast,Glasgow,
Ireland - Dublin
France -Paris, Lyon?
Germany - 4 dates (you can help me here)
Russia -St Petersburg, Moscow
Spain - Barcelona, Madrid

Add/delete countries/cities or add festival dates, maybe we have some acoustic/surprise shows to somewhere

Really? I'm from Troms? as well. Eventhough I live in T?nsberg now with my wife and kids:)

HAHA, lots of northeners who are exiled in the south apparently :P

oh well, just liek last time...there was no question what tickets i was gonna get....floor tickets... :P

Cool list mate. You just forgot Bulgaria!

and gnr not in the arena in Holland.. way to much echo's :P especialy when Chris does his bubbles thing :P

goffertpark is still awesome place to be for gnr

Amsterdam Arena can be done well if prepared properly....U2 did a great show there with great sound...but most concerts are not the best idd....and I think it's a big to big....40.000 or so ?...why not the smaller venue next to the Arena ? ...Heineken Music Hall.....sound is great over there (they say)...and a smaller venue is still big enough, maybe even better....

open air would be Goffertpark idd but another place is ok too.

Don't know if management or band is reading this but just like the other fans I also want to ask :

Please give us dates and venues...we want you !

The banner is pretty awesome!

(http://rockman.vgb.no/files/2010/04/GNR_160X600_OSLO_BERGEN_F?R_SALGSSTART.jpg)

there's a full page ad in todays VG as well :P
goddamnit that pic with skulls n roses look good....pretty tattoo worthy in my mind :P

Anybody else from Trondheim attending the Oslo show? My husband is not so keen to go, so I thought an alternative might be to go with other fans.

Does your husband know where are you gonna go? ;D Just joking, no offence.

I live in Trondheim, and i am going  : ok:

None taken :) He claims he does, but I'm not so certain :D

Here ya go, the full page ad from VG today:

(http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g279/spirit1983/gnrtour.jpg)

Wow, I almost couldn't read "Guns N' Roses" above the skull. Still awesome, tho.

coolest poster I've seen..  :smoking:

Anyone worried about the airline disruptions due to the volcano?  Alot of Europe is grounded right now.  I think we need to set up huge fans to blow the dust up to the North Pole so that GNR can get on with their tour ;D

only reason for concern i see, is if that major fucker blows

I'm not worried about the band making it - they've got lots of time. Am definitely worried for fans traveling from overseas though - anyone making plans to travel to see these shows might need to take that into consideration.

Well Germany they could do Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Dresden, and maybe Stuttgart (they've got an arena that can hold about 15,000 people there).

Israel would be tricky (and technically isn't Europe), but if you're going that way then maybe - maybe also throw in Morocco after Spain/Portugal.

In Europe - maybe Bratislava, Slovakia if you're doing the Czech Republic as well. Kiev in Ukraine. Krakow in Poland as well as Warsaw? Do a date in Latvia (Metallica just played there) etc.

Guess we'll find out in the coming weeks!

31st may in norway right through to 29th aug for leeds festival..... sounds fucking awesome

You have no idea how much I'm hoping for this!

*fingers, legs, toes, arms, eyes are all crossed* lol

Does anyone know how far from the stage the seats are in Oslo Spektrum? Or does anyone have any tips at all regarding what seats to go for? I won't have much time tomorrow trying to buy a ticket to the Oslo concert and I'd like to have some sort of idea beforehand what I should be aiming for. I can't find proper info on the net.

after last time i was there i'd recommend the floor actually....
regarding seats....I would definately aim for center seats....
but the floor is recommended....this time round i'll definately try to make my way up front....


in other news, regarding a possible M&G, should hopefully get answer tomorrow about the posibillity of renting a room at Spektrum to hang out in before the gig :peace:

Here's the layout for the Guns concert:

(http://www.oslospektrum.no/getfile.php/1189005.297.xtydvuwqpf/Master%26nbsp%3B2b%2C%26nbsp%3Bst%C3%A5plasser%26nbsp%3Bmed%26nbsp%3Bbananer%5B1%5D.jpg)

I'm not sure how big the stage will be in scale to the arena. If they are using the same setup as in Canada, sections 201, 202, 217 and 218 might bring you quite close to one of the runways, platforms, tentacles or whatever they're called.  :hihi:

On the other hand, those seats might not give you the full impression of the production.

In Germany it  hopefully will be Cologne.There is a big arena (Lanxess Arena) and last year METALLICA played there.Frankfurt,Munich,Berlin,Stuttgart.... they all have stadions or big arenas...and an amazing fanbase....

Just purchased floor tickets for both shows in Norway.   8)

Only 6 weeks to go. Can't wait.  :drool:

hey all.  where the hell are all the concert reviews from the recent dates???  Sorry if its a silly question.  This site confuses me sometimes.

well, we got answer from Spektrum now about a possible M&G....
once the lady in charge got it explained properly she was alot more positive.
BUT, however...due to it being Guns N Roses and they run a pretty tight ship we might not be able to get in there...
she would check prices, specifications and possibly band requests(if they will allow outsiders prior to the gig) if it is at all possible....
just keep our fingers crossed now and hopefulyl she calls back before the end of business today.


BUT, there is another but indeed :P
the spectrum lady was specific that 1 of the regulations were to keep in the area(if we get it rented) and not go band hunting(sure that makes sense to most, just had to mention it anyways)
and there will be limited amounts of people, i can't nor will i vouch for 50+ people......most likely it will be open for 20-30 peeps...wich is ok by me, probably serving of pizza and soda(or beer)....


if all goes well, i'll post a how to thingy laters  :beer:

Thanx for the update mate..crossing my fingers!

Great effort! It'd be great to be able to participate in this.

+1

very nice! =)
This would be great!

So...how do I buy tickets for this shows if I live in the U.K???

http://www.livenation.no/artist/guns-n-roses-tickets

just click on find tickets, then you will be re-directed to billettservice pages....they are available in english as well....i am not sure if they ship abroad but tickets should be available for picl up at spektrum anyhow....

PS: you have to register at bilettservice to get tickets....by the looks of it there are still some left....when i just checked the link i wasn't told they were out...

M&G thingy.....seems we have to be a bit patient.....but as soon as i know prices etc i will post here, maybe tomorrow or day after...apparently she had quite alot of stuf to check out :P

(http://savshow.ru/english/assets/images/GnR/gnr_poster.jpg)

I don't know if this picture has been posted before, but it sums up a whole lot of dates ;-)

Gelredome in the Netherlands and GN'R as the latest Graspop headliner would be brilliant!

can please someone help with the ticket purchasing at www.billetservice.no
I have now tried all possible ways to purchase two tickets since earlier today and each time it comes to the credit card entering it tells me that
I have to try later or purchase my tickets by telephone.

Anyone else having problems buying tickets?

THANK YOU!  :)

I believe there was an option to have the tickets sent abroad for a fee of 145 NOK (17,40 EUR).

Saw this earlier myself.

Seems legit as the Moscow show was announced today and that poster came from the promoter's website.

Show dates (Minus something on May 30th that I can't figure out):

May 31 - Bergen, Norway
June 2 - Oslo, Norway
June 5 - Helsinki, Finland (Festival)
June 6 - St. Petersburg, Russia
June 8 - Moscow, Russia
June 12 - Norje, Sweden (Festival)
June 13 - Aalborg, Denmark
June 15 - Berlin, Germany
June 16 - Arhenm Dome, Holland
June 18 - Vienna, Austria
June 20 - Zagreb, Croatia
June 21 - Belgrade, Serbia
June 23 - Prague, Czech Republic
June 26 - Dessel, Belgium (Festival  - Graspop)
June 28 - Zurich, Switzerland
June 29 - Milan, Italy

Hopefully more dates to be added for July/Aug! :)

...can?t wait

16 june is Arnhem and the dome is called gelredome

(http://forum.wirelessnederland.nl/plaatjes/gelredome_2002.jpg)

05/30 is Norway Bergen Production (05/31 is Bergen, too, so the first one might be some kind of warmup show or "special event", and the second one a regular show?)

Didn't think of that! That would've been awesome!

Great News :beer:
can?t wait for the next dates to see if they come to Portugal : ok:

What do you mean by that? Where does it say?
I live in Bergen and havent heard of this...

he's just guessing

It looks like Graspop is almost confirmed

http://www.stagedive.be/index.php/component/content/article/13-festival-news/199-graspop-2010-3th-headliner-guns-n-roses

see that poster again...

Hmmm, yeah, I see that now. Wonder what it means. I have never heard of it, if its a place here in Bergen. Sounds more like a indpendent movie production company or whatever.... anyone has any info on this date?

I was trying to figure that Production date out also... warmup? Rehearsal? but then why put it on the poster with the rest of the dates...
maybe this poster isn't final?

guess we'll see :)

how true is that poster?
it says Zagreb, but no confirmation from the local promoters.

can anyone clarify the source of the poster, and does the band stand behind it?

Where did you find this poster?

Excelent:

Graspop 2010: 3th headliner, Guns n' Roses
Written by Steven Wittevrouw

The 3th headliner will be, no one more than Guns n' Roses!

:peace:

The poster was on a website run by the russian show promoter (SAV Entertainment or something).
Notice the link says SAV Show: http://savshow.ru/english/assets/images/GnR/gnr_poster.jpg

This is fuckin' brilliant. Guns 'n Roses are coming back to my home country. Thank you Axl & Co!
I can't wait! So very happy!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :peace: :smoking:

does anyone know.
this is really annoying. is there a tour or not.

Except Leeds and Reading nothing is official yet. But it seems like most likely there will be a European Tour.  ;)

There are two official shows in Norway as well.

May 31st in Bergen at Vestlandshallen and June 2nd - Oslo at Oslo Spektrum.

Tickest are on sale on livenation.

Sorry I forgot about the Norway show. I am still a bit overexcited!  :D

then where the hell did the poster come from?!

It was posted by the russians when they anounced the moscow gig right?

Yes right after the Russians anouncement

According to a danish GNR webside, the Aalborg concert(13 June) will be confirmed tomorrow(thursday).... : ok:

so the poster isnt confirmed by the band or anyone relevant?!

these rumors are pissing me off :(

I have booked my Norwegian gig in Oslo. But I need more. I will go to Sweden right after the Oslo concert but I am trying to figure out if I could manage to go from Goteborg, Sweden to Aalborg without taking a plane or go by train. Is there a ferry?
Is there anyone going from Sweden to Aalborg concert?

Ferries from Gothenburg to Fredridshavn or Varberg to Grena.

This press release after seeing the poster of the European tour dates Milan 29th june.

Live In Italy as a promoter and national representatives of Guns N 'Roses in Italy deny Idropark date of June 29 in Milan. Such baseless news. We are working to bring the band in our country by the end of 2010.

thank
www.liveinitaly.com

source: http://www.chinesedemocracy.com/forum/index.php/topic,45493.msg1122080.html#msg1122080

Thanks Jarmo. Are you going?

end of 2010 doesn't make any sense

I believe what they mean is that they're trying to make it happen some time between now and the end of the year ... just that it's NOT happening on that rumored June 29 date.

This realy sucks. I was hoping that G N' R planned to play an arena show (Sportpaleis, Antwerp?) here in Belgium. But no, another festivalshow.

I heard the poster is fake. Russian made!
I found that on a graspop-forum.
So graspop is not fore sure ... and it's rumoured that slash is playing there (and he is already added to the banddatabase on the graspopsite).

This may mean that the poster is a mock-up, not final. It may also be that the promoter can't say officially yet. Guess we'll find out. I highly doubt it's a "fake" per se since some of the dates are confirmed and it was on the promoters website. But it may not have been ok'd for release.

Also, GN'Rs twitter pretty much hints at a European tour with the "ashes" comment.

Well, we know the source is the Russian promoter. Where they got it, we don't know..

Graspop is taking place from june 25th till june 27th. Maybe they booked Slash to play on friday and G N' R on saturday.

Guns in Denmark

www.akkc.dk just put the show up.. search for them.

The date has been pushed one day also (if the rumored date was Sunday) which is great for all parties involved (crew, band and travelling fans) coming in from Sweden Rock. It's also possible to drive from Norje to Aalborg (about 7 hours). Or by train (with one change, in Copenhagen). The inter-city Danish trains are ace.

If anyone needs help or advice on travellin' in and around Denmark or the gig, let me know.

See you there.

 8)

Dates are starting to roll in. Always exciting!

ARENA UK DATES PLEASE GNR!  : ok:

HELLS YEAH!

Dont want to pay ?90 for 1 days at Leeds !!!

The Best Venues... ARENAS !!

 :peace:

I am not buying tickets for Graspop unless it's sure Gunners are booked. When will they make it official, goddamnit?
I also don't see Slash beeing mentioned anywhere.

PS Gunners in Sportpaleis would be awesome. Or in AB, for a very selective audience...  ;) :drool:

Tickets on sale in Denmark from next Wednesday!

Here's the official venue announcement:

Also, from the venue's website: http://www.gigantium.dk/arrangementer.php?id=260 (http://www.gigantium.dk/arrangementer.php?id=260)


Congrats to our neighbours in the south!!  :beer:

Article from the newspaper rag BT on the Danish show ("at long last it's confirmed")

http://www.bt.dk/musik/guns-n-roses-spiller-i-aalborg

Nice (and recent) pic!

 : ok:

Still awaiting an Irish date, please lads!

Congratulations DENMARK.. Excelent Venue...

 :smoking:

If some UK arena dates get announced I will do my extra special happy/excited dance... and I know you all want to see that! lol

Another article, this from the "sister" rag to BT called Ekstra Bladet (both newspapers are in poor taste), but funnily enough this is also positive (like BTs). These two rags delivered the most mindboggling stupified reviews of Guns in 2006 (Roskilde). A travesty to journalism and it practically had nothing to do with whether they thought the show was good or bad (and it was GOOD!).

Anyway:

http://ekstrabladet.dk/musik/dkmusiknyt/article1334456.ece

 :peace:

I can verify that what Rainfox is telling is absolutely true. That fat, drunk "journalist" called Steffen Jungersen who wrote the Roskilde review in B.T. had either written it beforehand or not bothered to see the show at all. It was a great concert. It does not occur very often that most of the audience at the big concerts on Roskilde's Orange Stage repeatedly chant the artists name in praise...

Seconded.  Or play Brixton Acadamy, that'd be so sweeeeet.  Just more than just festival dates, please.

I've missed GN'R playing in the UK about 4 times now due to having a holiday booked before the dates are announced (even missed one when they rescheduled the docklands gig that I had tickets for and then couldn't make the new date as it was during my holiday!)

I've got a trip booked from 16th June to 8 July, so expect a load of great UK arena dates to be announced for that period very soon!

Don't go on holidays anymore, man.  ;)

TOUR POSTER FROM RUSSIANS IS AN OLD TOURSCHEDULE, THEREFORE A LOT OF GIGS ON THE POSTED DATES MIGHT NOT GO THROUGH!!!!

niet zo leuk nieuws lees dit maar eens

Supertramp w?l, Guns n? Roses niet       PDF        Afdrukken        E-mail
 

Door De Gelderlander, Op 22-04-2010 08:31

Aantal Hits : 97

De Britse band Supertramp geeft maandag 4 oktober een concert in GelreDome XS in Arnhem. Dat werd gisteren bekend. Guns n? Roses komt n?et, ondanks geruchten over een concert op woensdag 16 juni in Arnhem.

Die datum staat op een Russische concertposter, maar blijkt gebaseerd op een verouderd tourschema, zegt een woordvoerder van Mojo: ? Guns n? Roses ?s in Europa en we praten over een Nederlands optreden, maar niets is zeker.?


Supertramp viert dit najaar met de ?70-10 Tour? de release van het debuutalbum Supertramp, veertig jaar geleden. Prijzen voor tickets lopen uiteen van 49 tot 59 euro, exclusief servicekosten. De voorverkoop begint morgenochtend.         

English 

It say's that the british band Supertramp will hold an concert in geldredome XS in Arnhem on October 4th. Guns N Roses will not perform on June 16th. The poster the russians gave out to public is an old tourschedule and is NOT THE REAL DEAL it is not fake but it's an old tourschedule.  Mojo(promoters in Holland) Are in talks with Guns N Roses as they are touring europe this summer so a concert might come but nothing is certain yet.

Sorry guys!

Mojo (Dutch concert organizer) denounced GNR is scheduled to perform in Arnhem, Holland. Rumours that Graspop is not going through are there as well. Doesn't really sound promising, but it was posted on our Dutch (http://dutchdemocracy.com)Guns N' Roses board.

Oh lol I didn't see you just translated the article I was referring to  :peace:

I did.. your grounded! :rofl:

Don't use those dates to book travel, take time off etc.

As you might have noticed, if the dates haven't been announced by the band and/or a local promoter, they're not official.




/jarmo

Okay, I am not going to buy my Graspop tickets untill Guns n' Roses have confirmed. This kinda sucks. Why such a late (tight) confirmation on the European Tour?

Don't know, perhaps nothing has been confirmed because the unofficial tour has now unofficially been postponed? Beats me, can see no other reason than that Graspop has had difficulties with its preferred headliner. Why else would they start selling daytickets while leaving their schedule poster empty at the middle-top?

On the other hand, the Central America dates weren't confirmed early on either. It doesn't matter much as long as they'll plan plenty concerts of their own. Festivals would be a bummer, especially if some of them sold out (like Rock am Ring, but performing there would be a logistical waste of money).

goddamnit, would seriously think that organizers and the folks at spektrum sort of talked together when they got requests and shit...
but it appears not so....the people at livenation said one thing, the folks at spektrum another.....so it appears that a M&G at spektrum is a no go :(
on the bright side of that, i guess it is cheaper for us folks to just hook up at some other location and hang out :(

sorry guys, we really tried to work shit out....but when those in charge can't even communicate straight with eachother, shit just falls apart...

Just pick a bar/pub. Seems easier...




/jarmo

that is true :P
it will be cheaper totally than renting that room and stuff.....
we were secretely hoping to hear a soundcheck and maybe get some cameos ;)
oh well....we'll figure out somethign else then.....

anyone know a cool place for us top hang out before the gig?
i'm not that familiar with oslo myself....

In 2006 we had pre-party at Amplifier. They showed the Tokyo concerts on big screen. Nylon, is also a cool pub, but maybe a bit too smal
Maybe Elm Steet, Garage, or Rock In... So, some good alternatives there..

Wherever we''l meet, I will show up with 4-5 friends. Not that familiat in Oslo myself, so just say a place and we'll be there:)...only 5 weeks left!!!!!

be sure to announce it so we, who are traveling from abroad, know where to show up at.

I went to Elm Street before the July 2006 Oslo show myself....



/jarmo

yeah, Elm is a great bar. Not that far away from Spektrum. Would be a great place to meet people.

No.. you went to Burger King.

Ha ha ha ha.. I remember that! You guys were all decked out in Burger King "gear"!

Good times  :hihi:

Elm Street is a great little bar and in walking distance. Last time was great fun meeting up.

Won't be going to the Oslo show this time, but for those going.. have a blast! Spektrum is a cool venue, and the shows in 2006 are pretty much legendary in the GNR fan world. They were spitzenklasse.

Amplifier is gone, Nylon is gone, but Elm Street is still going strong! See you there!

oh they are? they didnt even exist when i lived in Oslo back in 2005, and had just opened in 2006.. if im not wrong.
Anyway! Elm it is! I like that place.. =)

Just so there's no doubt left, GN'R facebook just confirmed the Norway and Denmark shows!  :smoking:

The following dates are on Wikipedia - anyone know a source on them? Other than the obvious Reading/Leeds dates.

08/26/2010    Scotland    Glasgow    Scotland    Braehead Arena       TBC
08/27/2010    England    Reading    England    Little John's Farm       Festival[149]
08/28/2010    Republic of Ireland    Dublin    Ireland    O2 Arena       TBC
08/29/2010    England    Leeds    England    Bramham Park       Festival[150]
08/30/2010    England    London    England    O2 Arena       TBC
08/31/2010    England    Aylesbury    England    Aylesbury Civic Center    

Looks very fake to me.

GN'R isn't gonna play six shows in six days all over the British Isles....




/jarmo

I'd love to know where people get these dates from in the first place.  ::)

I think it's fairly obvious that 6 shows in a row, let alone in different countrys, is not gonna happen. The only 2 that we know for sure are confirmed, are the Reading and Leeds festivals. It seems to me, someone has just added shows around these dates for some reason, god knows why.  :P

I call bullshit on count of the 'Aylesbury Civic Center'  :hihi: Although I don't see why 6 shows in the UK is so unfeasible

Talking of 'Elm Street' the Freddie re-make is out soon. Not sure I ever saw the original though.

so, is it settled then....us various fans just hook up at elm street?

Elm street is fine by me mate:)
What time? I guess we dont have to wait much in line with floor tickets. We will get in front anyway:)

Elm street  :) be there with my wife...just have to find it first. : ok:

just look to your left when walking up towards karl johan from oslo train station :P
it's in one of those lower streets there

6 shows isn't unrealistic, but check out the dates...

i think Aylesbury Civic Center only holds a couple of thousand at a push, ok for a panto etc but not a rock concert

got it, thanks a lot.

I got one more question regarding accommodation. You can PM on this one but as I will be traveling from abroad for the Oslo show, not only with my wife but also my two sons and a babysitter, I am in need of a room/apartment for two nights on a very good price. Bear in mind that my currency is barely a currency anymore and the NKR very much not in favor for me at moment : ok:
Well, any suggestion or tips are well received. Thanks guys, I appreciate.

I  plan to see gnr in Belgrade (my country) , Prague,Wien,milano and Zurich

Not saying these dates won't happen, but they are probably pulled from the Russian promo poster. Meaning an old tour schedule which could come out different when officially announced.

According to this page the show in Zagreb will be on June 22.

What happened to this tour?
Are they still planning on playing Eastern Europe?
Or was that all just bull?

Russia isn't Eastern Europe?




/jarmo

So far:
May 31st,  Bergen, Norway @ Vestlandshallen   
June 2nd,  Oslo, Norway @ Oslo Spektrum      
June 5th,  Helsinki, Finland @ K?pyl?n Urheilupuisto (Helsinki Live 2010)   
June 6th,  Saint Petersburg, Russia @ Ledovy Dvorets   
June 8th,  Moscow, Russia @ Olympiyskiy Stadium   
June 12th,  Norje, Sweden @ Norje Havsbad Sweden Rock Festival   
June 14th,  Aalborg, Denmark @ Gigantium      
August 27th, Reading, UK @ Little John's Farm (Reading Festival)      
August 29th, Leeds, UK @ Bramham Park (Leeds Festival)

So I guess we can expect many more dates. But we are only a month away from the last date in June and I say GNR have to speed up the announcements so the fans make some travel plans. But again its typically GNR to plan like this...

   

bussines side of things are always an ass in gnr terms.

I am so sorry I wasn't more specific /jarmo.

I meant these dates:

June 15 - Berlin, Germany
June 16 - Arhenm Dome, Holland
June 18 - Vienna, Austria
June 20 - Zagreb, Croatia
June 21 - Belgrade, Serbia
June 23 - Prague, Czech Republic
June 28 - Zurich, Switzerland
June 29 - Milan, Italy

Are they playing these dates?

Many of those aren't even in Eastern Europe, but to answer your question, unless the band and/or management says so, those shows aren't confirmed.

In addition to that, none of those shows have been announced by local promoters.

In fact, as far as I remember, some of the local promoters have denied there being shows on some of the specified dates. I think it was the Dutch promoter who said they didn't have a GN'R show on that date.

Edit: Found it (http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=59625.msg1250442#msg1250442).

/jarmo

GN'R have never mentioned these dates.

They surfaced from a poster on the Russian promoters website, but I believe Live Nation said these were part of an old tour schedule.

If/when GN'R announces more dates, it could very well be completely different dates/venues/cities than the ones listed above.

There's no reason for anybody to be concerned about GN'R not announcing shows yet, there's still plenty of time. Don't forget this time in 2006, GN'R had not even played a show yet (May 12th).

Think about how many places GN'R toured in 2006, like Europe, UK, North America. We are only in May, there are still 7 and a half months left in the year, loads of stuff could happen.

Yes there is enough time and I think that they will play many places in Europe like Germany,Italy,France,Netherlands,...

I don't think there?s much time at all. For me, seeing more shows than the one I've already bought a ticket for, there's a rapidly closing time window. I've only got four weeks holiday and that is set in stone so...booking tickets, planes and hotels ??? ??? ???

Belgrade show is removed for september...this is confirmed on Belgrade arena Facebook page

Shit, fuck, crap, cunt, scum... ;D

what happened to the dates between July and August? There are a lot of countries missing.

Some thing must gone wrong

No dates have been announced in July or in August (before the UK festivals) yet.



/jarmo

I hope more dates are added/confirmed and that they come to Spain again  :love:

hope that yet = soon

Hope they start to add some more dates soon, i can`t imagine they want to take July and august off there's so many countries they could visit during that time even if they do just 1 show in each of them.

Why do GNR take so long to do everything?? Album takes years, still no Video from the Album. Even announcing a tour takes forever?? ??? I know there are deals to be made for concerts to take place, but come on.

A five night stint @ the O2 Arena in Dublin Ireland would be nice. :hihi:

It's probably not GN'R fault but this whole shit is really fucked up. I was expecting to visit two of the shows but I really do not know if I am going to be able anymore. The time passes by and I won't be able to organize my things for a week or two if the dates are confirmed. I will do my best but I just need confirmation. I just can't do it for a day or two. Still hope though. :)

Yeah,its a real pain for people who need to organise stuff to travel to shows etc. But been GNR fans I guess we should be used to waiting at this stage. Soon hopefully they will release/confirm further dates.

Looking at how a majority of shows have been announced, the first announcement usually came from a local promoter. This was the case for the Asian, Canadian and Latin American shows.

Since we haven't heard any promoters announce new shows, since the already announced ones, you can probably relax until this changes.

The last show of the first leg is in four weeks. It might be too tight to add dates straight after Denmark.




/jarmo

My tentative travel plans are looking dodgy due to that feckin' volcano.

Concerned that I may be watching an Ashcloud, rather than an Ashba.  :rant:

Why won't they confirm these dates? You can buy tickets for the June 16 show in Arnhem.

there is no arnhem show ''yet'' nothing has been confirmed.. those dates from that russion poster were fake or either leaked to soon or old tourdates that were supposed to happen but didn.t

Oh really? Please provide a link to an official ticket web site that sells tickets to that show. And please, don't link to any scalpers who sell tickets to imaginary shows.

The date isn't listed on the official GelreDome web site. It's not on sale on the Dutch Ticketmaster web site.

Need more clues that it's not been officially announced in any way?





/jarmo

After the show in DK  they will stop playing for tocer for Brazil's  in  World Cup

Axl , Fernando , Vanessa and  Beta - Brazil eoooooooooo, Brazil eoooooooooooooo!!!!  Kakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

There is still plenty of time for GN'R to announce more shows in Europe/UK. Also we know that GN'R are going to still be in Europe until at least early September, with the Reading/ Leeds festivals. So thats already 1 month more than in 2006, when the band headed back to the US in early August, after the Wembley shows.

So just relax, I'm sure things will start taking shape soon. But please don't buy any tickets for shows that have not been confirmed by GN'R.

A little sales update on the Oslo show.

Only single seats are now available in the most expensive seating sections - 107, 108, 109, 110, 208, 209, 210 and 211.


As for the Bergen show, the promoter said in a news article that the GN'R show was expected to sell out. It was originally a piece on a Stevie Wonder show which didn't sell very well.

Any news yet on uk arena tours this year? My mates can't make Reading or Leeds and I don't relish the idea of going alone!!

none that any of us knows of. :P...and go it alone dude, you'll have a blast. I went to the LA Forum show in 91 or 92....drove 3 hours by myself through the desert from Lone Pine California to La. Hooked up with some burnt out Metallica fans, drank cheap Vodka in the back of their car, saw a kickass show, then drove back in the middle of the night to Lone Pine for the wedding I was attending.  : ok: It was worth it although I almost ran off the road 3-4 times due to exhaustion at 4am. ;D

i hear you! at least trains are good in Europe across Germany, France etc and I can get there without flying if needs be  : ok:  Norway might be a little tricky though.. Wonder if they'll consider the Hippodrome in Paris again after 1992, if its still operating for gigs.. ahh the excitement of that televised gig!

Any truth to this?

Guns N' Roses concert in Belgrade rescheduled for September

American hard rock band Guns N' Roses postponed their concerts in Belgrade and Zagreb (previously scheduled for June) until September.

As the agency Beta was told today at the Belgrade Arena, the new date of the concert in the Serbian capital hasn't been specified yet, but it is likely to be 22, 23 or 24 September, depending on the band management's decisions.

Guns N' Roses concert at the Belgrade Arena was scheduled for June 22, but in the meantime rumors could be heard that the entire European tour will be postponed until September.

The Arena was also told that the concert in Zagreb will precede the one in Belgrade, as was originally planned.

Would be nice if the GNR-camp could kill this rumor right away! Before people start to book their plane tickets and stuff!!!

The rumor about those shows and that time frame has been reported earlier:
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=59156.msg1239772#msg1239772


Regarding the whole tour being postponed, I think that's people's own imagination at work and their wish to feel like they know something...


Didn't Axl say in one of those clips that the next tour would be in "three weeks" when he was in New York a while ago?

As of now, it looks (to me personally) like the first part of the tour focuses on Scandinavia and Russia.




/jarmo

So as of right now, what's the next scheduled (confirmed) GN'R show that we know of? I'm not being a smart ass, I've just honestly lost track.

Confirmed dates:

May 31st, 2010: Bergen, Norway @ Vestlandshallen
June 2nd, 2010: Oslo, Norway @ Oslo Spektrum
June 5th, 2010: Helsinki, Finland @ K?pyl?n Urheilupuisto (Helsinki Live 2010)
June 6th, 2010: Saint Petersburg, Russia @ Ledovy Dvorets
June 8th, 2010: Moscow, Russia @ Olympiyskiy Stadium
June 12th, 2010: Norje, Sweden @ Norje Havsbad (Sweden Rock Festival)
June 14th, 2010: Aalborg, Denmark @ Gigantium
August 27th, 2010: Reading, UK @ Little John's Farm (Reading Festival)
August 29th, 2010: Leeds, UK @ Bramham Park (Leeds Festival)



/jarmo

Wow! Scandinavia and Russia.  It really is nice that so many different places will get to experience GNR on this tour :).

Ok cool. Thanks!

wow there is a huge gap in those dates. Wonder what is going too come up in there.

We don't know if Aalborg is the last show of the first leg and/or if Reading is the first show of the second leg....





/jarmo

The whole tour, as it's scheduled right now, seems just wierd to me. 13 days(!) before kick off and there's a gap of two and half months from the Aalborg-gig until Reading. If Aalborg is indeed the last show of the first leg, that seems just a tad weak for a band of GNR's status.

No major cities? Berlin, Paris, London, Manchester, Dublin, Prague, Amsterdam, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon etc etc etc ?!  Just seems totally wierd....

Hope they have something up their sleeve. Even if they are working on doing something in more major cities, they're cutting it kinda close if you ask me.... People have prolly planned their summer activities by now.

If it is indeed your favorite band, you will change your summer plans, at least I know that is what I would do anyway!

As Jarmo said above, dates could be added around the current stretch of shows. Also, bands play Reading and Leeds all the time as one-offs and not part of a "tour". The band won't be sitting in Denmark for 2 months waiting for the UK dates.

Adding dates this close to the start of the tour does not sound like a good gameplan. It doesn't matter if you choose to call the Scandinavian and Russian gigs "the first leg of the tour" or not, it's still a bit wierd to me...

Hope everything turns out great though and they really do have a greater plan that still hasn't been rolled out...

european festivals starting next month, businesswise its no good adding big acts last minute.

The gap is long enough to go back home spending time for other things.

Now with the court shit coming, i wouldnt be surprised if the tour gets postponed now

What date start the legal proceedings?

why exactly?  Doubt that Axl needs to be at the court throughout the proceedings and may be ask to go in for one day to give evidence.  That's why he has a legal TEAM. 

But Jarmo dont you think it is a little strange that there is no more dates after Aalborg?

Did it stop the South and Central American tour?



No.  ???


I'm aware that a lot of European countries aren't listed among those dates, but I wouldn't be surprised if the band is working on adding more dates to this European tour.




/jarmo

Ok, but there is only a month to the last show in Denmark and people need to make travel plans and the ticket sales and son on...

If I remember correct the Euro tour in 2006 was planned 3 or 4 month before... :-\

I can't make travel plans for others.

IF there's any truth in the reports that there's shows planned in Serbia and Croatia in September, then it looks like there might be more shows in the second half of the summer.



/jarmo

for me the problem of planning the Euro Tour is the manager Azzof! I have read that he left the band alone >:(

Well, its for sure that those are not all the dates, since the most important european countries are still missing. it worries me though that there's still no word.

What do you mean? There's a show in Finland..

 :P



/jarmo

and two in Norway... so..

... that's what i'm saying :D

:)  awesome!   : ok:

During the last European tour all the dates were annouced gradually.  They were already on tour and adding dates or shall I say confirming dates along the way.  Some of the festivals and uk dates were annouced later on.

No why should you...

But again I think its pretty late to announce a show a only a month before. Maybe its just me.

Just speculating on the tour postponing rumours...

The Helsinki show simply can not be postponed or cancelled "just like that". I'd like to believe the promoter here has made sure of it in the contract or otherwise he will be facing a huge monetary loss. This is not a normal solo gig that can be moved around, and neither is this a big festival thingy where one of the main acts drops out and is replaced by something else, and with the 20+ other acts in the bill it's okay.

This whole Helsinki Live 2010 is built around Guns N' Roses - 90 % of the ticket buyers will want a refund if GNR is not there. There are no other acts (the dankos and the monroes are just filler), and they sure as hell won't find another big name as replacement at this point. The new venue and everything that has been put into this... if GNR is not on stage in Helsinki two weeks from now, there's one less organizer bringing these acts in this country in the future.

according to my source (call it promoter-friendly guy or whatever you want), the Czech show should be happening in September, so what you said makes sense.

just checking my facts zargreb and serbia have never been confirmed have they? cos i just fired off an e mail to nicky horne on planet rock who was saying they`d been postponed and just pointed out you can`t postpone something that wasn`t happening in the first place.Please tell me i`m right

Correct.




/jarmo

you aren't right...Promoters have a deal with gnr, but gnr change plans...Pretty sirious people work in Belgrade arena menagment...they said gnr menagment choose 3 days for Belgrade in September 21,22 or
24

The shows never went on sale and were never confirmed by GN'R.



/jarmo

The Moscow Times is reporting that GN'R will play next Monday for a Naomi Campbell charity event:


http://www.themoscowtimes.com/arts_n_ideas/article/guns-n-roses-join-naomi-for-charity/406363.html

Must be a reliable source..... Considering they claim Aerosmith was also scheduled for the event.



/jarmo

I'll check with the Croatian promoter the status.
it was thought that the event would not happen since the waterpollo euro cup was to take place in the same venue, but fortunately the waterpollo was moved to another arena.

10 DAYS LEFT!!!  :beer:

 :beer:
N?r skal vi m?tes p? Elm Street? (when are we supposed to meet @Elm Street?)

when do they open  :smoking:  :beer:

Its a nightmare on that street  ;D

They open at 1100. I'll be along whenever my train arrives.  :beer:

Damn, wish I could go.

So many good memories from 2006 and meeting up at Elm Street with HTGTH folk, the Spektrum venue (cool), the show itself (ofcourse) and the "afterparty" in the city. Somewhere.

Nice little place BTW.

Have a blast all you Osloegians and visitors!  : ok:

Then ill be there by 1100! =) If the weather is really nice, i may go up Karl Johan Street for a beer in the sun=) There are a couple of nice places there too.

I don't know anyone of you so I will just wear a GN'R shirt in order to be noticed. I assume you do the same  :beer:

think i'll just wear the red shirt from the charles manson fan club :P

Ok I'm the guy with the kill your idol shirt_)

That makes sense. The event takes place at may 24 and the first European show takes place on may 31. That gives them enough time to travel around, do some rehearsels and so on.

Do we have these sort of posters in Bergen and Oslo?

It's my impression that this kind of promotion is non-existant here in Norway. Too bad, cuz these are bad-ass!  : ok:

maybe something at the subwaystations, but something like this..? naa .. dont think so..

I'm coming to Oslo!  Look forward to meeting you at Elm St people, I didnt know I was able to go until yesterday so have been booking it all in a flurry! SO excited!
 :peace:

I've got a ticket to Oslo Spektrum  : ok:

when i asked about maybe obtaining some posters for myself the reply i got was: posters will not be printed unless there is trouble selling out spektrum :(
so i guess there are no posters available....atleast not many if they printed any...

may has been the longest month ever!!! 8 days to go just need some more dates added and we`ll all be HAPPY : ok:

U2 have just pulled out of headline slot at Glastonbury, Eavis needs a big name rock band to fill the slot June 25th..... I think GN'R are free that day, right?

Guns N' Roses, Lady Gaga Among Tips To Replace U2 At Glastonbury

May 25, 2010

Guns N? Roses and Lady Gaga are among the artists who have been backed to replace U2 as headliners at the Glastonbury festival.

The Irish band have been forced to drop out of the event on June 25 after singer Bono injured his back.

Other artists tipped by Gigwise users include Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, AC/DC, The Chemical Brothers and Justin Bieber.

Who Should Replace U2 At Glastonbury? VOTE NOW!
David Bowie and Coldplay are also in contention in our Rate or Slate feature.

You can vote on who you would like to see by clicking the link below now.

http://www.gigwise.com/news/56538/Guns-N-Roses-Lady-Gaga-Among-Tips-To-Replace-U2-At-Glastonbury

I thought that it was a case as being reported as the only festival shows this year, as in THUS FAR, not exclusively showing at these two events.

"Although Guns N' Roses played a headline set at the Leeds leg of the festival in 2002, this year marks the first time that they will have played the festival's Reading site. The band is set to headline the Reading leg on Aug. 27 and Leeds on Aug. 29. According to organizers, Festival Republic, the two shows will be the band's only U.K. appearances in 2010."

dont get me wrong though, i would love GnR to headline glastonbury. the exclusive rights thing could be changed with some hard negotiations and hard cash but there are still tickets available for leeds/reading so i doubt it very much

could be a goer,something tells me it may not work out though.....

interested to see how it works out.

The crowd at glasto are a proper mixed bag of music fans, non music fans and the rest! lol its a strange festival these days, losing it's identity?

It looks like there might not me opening bands in Europe? Hmm.. Or maybe its not decided yet..

I so have to get one of those posters! Those are sweet!!

Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, AC/DC, The Chemical Brothers and Justin Bieber (so 3 TOPARTISTS and tips for gnr and lady gaga both great artists) what's wrong with this picture.....

some people are out of their minds comparing Justin bieber to the biggest stars of the planet!

Oh hell yeah I have a problem with it. In 2 years no one will even remember that kid.

Justin Bieber will another one of those teen stars like the guys from Hansen.

Gorillaz replacing U2 at Glasto

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8706700.stm

There good but not exactly legendary i would love to see GN`R there one day

Wow. I like Gorillaz, but they are NOT a replacement for U2. Not many bands really are, and I guess the organizers had to do what they could to have someone there.

If Denmark is the end of this leg, I hope we get wind of another leg with some awesome dates soon ;)

 i contact "le z?nith de lille" for more information and they told me it was negotiating, nothing yet on  :smoking:



thx st3f from gnrfrance for the link  ;)

I'm full of questions, again, try to bear with me!

I'd like to meet up with you guys at Elm Street, but I'm wondering how long are you gonna stay there? I'll only arrive mid-afternoon in Oslo and I'm gonna meet a friend before heading for Elm Street. The doors open at 18:30, but I would not like to enter the venue that early I think.

I wonder if Oslo Spektrum has a similar, loooong (cameras, food, drink) no-no list as the venue in Bergen which in my opinion prohibited anything but the bare necessity of clothes on your back  ::) I remember seeing earlier that Spektrum denied cameras, but I wonder if this is the rule on Wednesday's concert - I've seen so many pictures from the earlier legs that I would feel it's really unfair if I could not take a few snapshots with my little camera! They can at least have nothing against a mobile phone with a really crappy camera? And I feel it would be practical to be able to take some sort of snack in case it's gonna be a long night.

I don't know the venue's camera policy.

I remember in 2006, they took my camera away and let a friend in with a better camera. Makes no sense.




I'll also arrive in Oslo in the afternoon and will head to Elm Street at some point. I'll probably stick around for a while.




/jarmo

Do u have any clue Jarmo, if there wil be closed and limited places in the front of the stage in Oslo? Damn i hope not! Coz im planning on staying on elm street for a wile, and not outside spektrum

I have no idea.

I don't know the Spektrum that well.





/jarmo

Thanks Jarmo, nice to know that they have such an explicit policy at the Spektrum   :P

See you in Elm Street!

It depends.. i guess they can be strict about cell phones in the start of the concert.. but when 8000 people satrat waiving with them, its difficult to refuse them that.

I think I'll chance to take my pocket camera too and stuff it in my bra or something to get in.... ;D

This policy, if true, is absurd imo.

I can understand the Camera thing.. flashlight etc... But that they tell people to put down theyr mobilephones?.. well.. thats kinda weird..

In the firsth concert in 2006 there where no limited places in front, but the second concert a week later I think there where limited places in front. (d?rlig i engelsk. det eg meina er at dei delte inn i nokre seksjoner i den andre konserten, men ikkje i den f?rste.

goddamnit.....due to insufficient funding it appears i won't make some beers at elm pre show...can't be at elm without a beer ;)
anyways, someone wanna shoot the breeze pre gig while we wait...just look for the longhaired fucked in the red charles manson shirt :P
gonna do my damn best to get up front this time around

would love to see munch...
and the eurovision is also nice....

according to a dutch paper GnR will perform in Arnhem (Gelredome) on october 3rd (tickets on sale this saturday)

http://www.gelderlander.nl/voorpagina/arnhem/6776008/Guns-N-Roses-treedt-toch-op-in-GelreDome.ece

From the official Dutch Live Nation site:

http://www.livenation.nl/event/16245/guns-n-roses-tickets

Couldn't believe my eyes either....

... and from the venue:

http://gelredome.nl/evenementen/295/guns_n_roses/

confirmed bij MOJO!!

I read capacity is 34,000 for concerts. 

Damn it Lille is an hour and 20 away but I cant justify paying Eurostar ticket plus the ?60 or so would cost me for the gig ticket then a hotel, England dates please Guns put me and my friends out of our misery, saw you at hammersmith have to go again.

Yes, usually the gelredome takes 34.000.

But they will do it in the xs version. (Like the Kiss show this year)

Capacy in this case is approx 12.000.

It seems I won't be able to see them this time around... again. Unless they had a date in the south-east of France. Just can't affort to travel to Paris.

I just realized that after the show in Denmark, the band is off for about 2 and 1/2 months!! While the next show is in August in the UK, whats the plan? Im not sure if I missed something or what, kinda odd to see two months of no activity between European dates. I dont know, i dont want to speculate too much but I'd say that since they are touring for a bit, they want to take a break in the studio, or to get some other stuff out of the way or to have a 2 month vacation! I thought maybe I missed something that explains the break between dates.

They will spend their hard earned summer holidays.  ;D

Well since the Reading and Leeds festival appearances were announced a while back, the majority of the new dates that have cropped up have been after them shows.

I think this time around, since GN'R are doing more dates in certain countries than in 2006, and also with the Russian shows. I feel that's why they have planned a break in between the Europe tour, to give them some downtime to rest.

I think it's expected since so far they are doing more shows this time around per country, than in 2006. For example France, Italy, and Ireland only had 1 show last time around. While also GN'R only did 1 UK festival appearance last time around, whilst this time they are doing 2.

So I think it's extremely wise to get a lengthy break, since all of the interviews with Richard and Ron so far have indicated this could be a really long tour. :)

Well can we have some german dates too , please ?
Anyone heard or read anything ?

Hopefully we hear something about the german tour dates soon.there will be dates in belgium,france and holland...

Yes, Gelderome Stadium, Capacity 34,000.

GN`R Play In Gelderome XS, Capacity 12,000

 : ok:

Euro tour building up well. We have 20 odd dates for the second leg...they can do more Germany or uk dates before or after...just wondering if they will take another break middle of October and return end of November or December to Europe as they could easily add 10-15 more dates. Also we have a rumoured oz tour in December.

OZ = Oceania?

Guns are not coming to Poland this year?  :'( I hope it's not true. They will  play in Russia and Czech Republic and not want to come to Poland? Why? :'( Axl,I hope you reading this...we are waiting... Did You forget roses in Warsaw?  :'(

Yeah, Guns need to play in Poland this year! This band is amazing and I need to see them live again  :(

i just heard Guns are playing Portugal on the 6th of October in pav. Atlantico  :peace:

A quick search at news google confirms this!  :peace:

 :beer:

you can add Kidnap to that list HBK! yep, my old band, the very same that did the awesome gn'r tribute @HRC in 2006, played there, we opened for Whitesnake. any chance Gn'R wants us to open for them?

Those 20,000 tickets are probably gonna go quick in Portugal.  I think metallica just played 2 shows there.

ajAJja, Congratulations Friend...  :beer:

 :smoking: :beer: :smoking:

I was at that show :) Really enjoyed your band!

I officially endorse this comment.  ;)

Kidnap rocked the pre - party at the hard rock in 2006.

I might also go to this gig as well, as I love Lisbon and went to Rock in Lisbon in 06.

Building up nicely. could plan Budapest (Hungary) and Warsaw (Poland) either side of the Zagreb and Belgrade dates. At the start or end of tour we could add Greece and Turkey. I am sure somewhere we will have dates in Germany and hopefully more UK dates. Love them to do Israel to. If you consider how GNR toured Canada, I hope they tour like this in Germany and the UK. It total we could have between 40-45 European dates.

anyone from Belgium here who can get me a ticket? I dont have a credit card.
Would be very nice

Really looking forward to hearing Axl and GNR this year, I've been a fan for over 20 years and I can't wait to hear Axl's voice again. On the same note I'm also delighted that Slash is touring and playing Guns N' Roses songs aswell. I get to hear Rocket Queen played live twice this year. Both bands sound awesome as does Duff McKagan's Loaded. I don't care what the guys' personal issues are with each other, the music is what's important to me. There was a point when I thought I'd never hear this music played live again. To me Guns N' Roses is now an extended family of musicians all playing the music I love. To all the guys touring this year, congratulations on still sounding amazing and thank you!

They've been touring since December.

Only had a few weeks off between each leg.




/jarmo

still holding out hope for some Uk shows outside the festivals.

hammersmith again maybe  :hihi:

I just consulted one ticket seller today, there are less then 500 tickets for sale.

Still no Greece... :(

Please add Greece, please add Greece  :peace: :peace:

Same here! I can't afford to go to Reading or Leeds  :-\

Really?

In total?





/jarmo

Less than 500 tickets. That's fuckin awesome!


Guns N' Roses is kicking asses in the old continent. So happy to see GN'R on the road...I hope they come back to SA.

Maybe Private Show, Only Fans

 :smoking:

No, the poster meant there were 500 tickets left for the Lisbon show.




/jarmo

What poster??

The poster named dash:





Not a concert poster... Or GN'R poster that you hang on a wall.




/jarmo

Who's on first?  :P

(wonder if anyone will twig to that reference...)

What's on second.

Come on guys. Bulgaria wants you...

Just a little reminder: If you're going to a show, it might be useful to have yourself listed in the show thread(s) in the tour section.

If people want to meet up at the shows, it's easier to tell who's going where and how many would be interested in a possible pre-show....





/jarmo

Hammersmith for me please.

Hammersmith was really special for me in 2006, had an awesome time  :beer:

As much as I'd love a repeat, I'm pretty sure Reading/Leeds are promoting the shows as exclusive UK appearances in 2010  :'(

I have one Friday day ticket for Reading to sell on behalf of a friend. Please PM me if you're interested!

Not sure where else to put this, but here's a news report on GN'R playing in Israel... not Europe but I'm guessing it'll be part of the fall leg.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=085kSYPB2_I&feature=player_embedded

just happened to see that any truth to it?

That seems the exact same thing thats happening in Australia (well Sydney anyway). GnR are doing 1 concert in a country or perhaps each state, but to substitute for the 1 show, there doing BIG arenas or stadiums (ala v8 500).

Which is good to see, more bums on seats without the risk of cancelled concerts or half sold out concerts, makes perfect sense. :beer:

From dankojones.com:



072610 Irish Guns N? Roses support dates added
It seems like we will be spending some more time in Europe this fall as we just got added to 2 more Guns N? Roses dates, this time in Ireland:

August 31st ? Belfast, Odyssey Arena
September 1st ? Dublin, O2 Arena




/jarmo

@sebastianbach have you been seing axl? will you be openin' some more @gunsnroses tour leg?

From Sebastian:

@axlrose has been a true bro as usual. He has offered us the whole European tour. The promoters Are not making it possible for us to come at this point. We are exploring all options & doing whatever we can to hopefully make it hAppen. Believe me noone wants to come more than me

Tuesday 3rd August 2010

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/2taokm

Its great with a big Euro tour. But where hell are the German dates????? :P

Hopefully they will announced some german gigs too...

There is an article about a probable Bulgarian show after the Zagreb one. It is not confirmed yet. It appeared today in a local musical website. No matter that there are not many bulgarians over here I was just proud to announce the news. I think that there is not much sense in posting the link but if you do insist I will copy it. Fingers crossed! Hope, hope, hope.  :peace:

I hope so too

apparently Murderdolls will be warming up for gnr in france and switzerland if i read correctly :P
they oughta do a detour to Norway with that opening act  :peace:

MURDERDOLLS To Support GUNS N' ROSES In Europe - Aug. 5, 2010

The reactivated MURDERDOLLS ? the band consisting of Joey Jordison (SLIPKNOT, ROB ZOMBIE) and Wednesday 13 ? will support GUNS N' ROSES on the following European shows:

Sep. 04 - PaloLottomatica - Rome, Italy
Sep. 05 - Mediolanum Forum - Milan, Italy
Sep. 08 - Hallenstadion-Oerlikon - Zurich, Switzerland
Sep. 10 - Le Galaxie - Amneville, France
Sep. 13 - Bercy - Paris, France
Sep. 16 - SEG Geneva Arena - Geneva, Switzerland

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=144091

i hope if they make it to the u.s the murderdolls are still playing with them.

I hope this continues into the UK shows  :yes:

The Murderdolls? That was unexpected, not bad of a band though. And by unexpected I mean if there was a joint GnR/Marilyn Manson tour I would think it strange. Similar bands....

DankoJones.com:

080310 Four GNR support shows added in eastern Europe

We have added even more dates as support to Guns ?N? Roses in September. The dates are as follows:

21-sep, Romania, Bucharest - Romexpo
23-sep, Serbia, Belgrade - Arena
24-sep, Croatia, Zagreb - Arena
27-sep, Czech Republic, Prague - O2 Arena
