That one surprises me since they've played Australia a few times, and it's right there... show the Kiwis some love!
Title: Re: What countries haven't GNR played in yet? Post by: axlpwns on February 18, 2013, 04:11:08 PM I think they have played in Auckland, NZ a few times

How about New Zealand? That one surprises me since they've played Australia a few times, and it's right there... show the Kiwis some love! The played Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand on 2/6/93. Title: Re: What countries haven't GNR played in yet? Post by: jarmo on February 18, 2013, 05:51:45 PM How about New Zealand?

June 30th, 2007 - Auckland, New Zealand @ Vector Arena July 3rd, 2007 - Christchurch, New Zealand @ Westpac Arena Those dates were before I started doing the map though... So the band hasn't played in New Zealand since then. /jarmo Title: Re: What countries haven't GNR played in yet? Post by: estebanf on February 18, 2013, 07:28:21 PM they never played Bolivia (they wanted to, but something happened and the show was cancelled) [2011]

Post by: raindogs70 on February 19, 2013, 11:54:58 AM Too bad there's no way the fans can create the demand and interest for GNR to hit up some of the countries. Wonder how they decide on where to tour, the promoters call them, or do GNR management reach out to the promoters?

Post by: jarmo on February 19, 2013, 12:22:35 PM Too bad there's no way the fans can create the demand and interest for GNR to hit up some of the countries. There's ways for fans to do that. But it still doesn't guarantee a show. Sometimes it's not possible to fit a certain city, state, country or region into the schedule. There's not enough time to transport the equipment from A to B for a show since show C is so close to those dates... Sometimes it's not a viable option because it costs too much to travel somewhere for one show. Wonder how they decide on where to tour, the promoters call them, or do GNR management reach out to the promoters? I believe most bands work with booking agents who are in contact with promoters. But I suppose sometimes a band or artist has a wish to play somewhere and they'll try to make it happen. /jarmo Title: Re: What countries haven't GNR played in yet? Post by: nick6sic6 on February 19, 2013, 04:56:54 PM South Africa should be on the next tour.It's a big market and other big bands played there.
Not only Johannesburg but Madagascar as well... ;) Got it ? Madagascar....... ;D Title: Re: What countries haven't GNR played in yet?

Post by: One.In.A.Million on February 22, 2013, 05:38:57 PM I'm surprised that Guns have never decided to play hawaii... I think they would rock the place to it's sha na na na na na knees. :hihi:

Title: Re: What countries haven't GNR played in yet? Post by: jarmo on February 23, 2013, 01:08:36 PM Without knowing the details about logistics, but I'm assuming that just because a place exists between the origin and the destination, doesn't mean it's simple to just stop there and put on a show.
So getting gear from Los Angeles to Australia, you might think "Hey, Hawaii is in the middle, why not?". But it might not be that simple. Maybe it's not actually en route. /jarmo |
