Hope this is true, makes sense timing wise I guess  :peace:

I really really REALLY hope this is true! I feel neglected so far  : ok:

Well it seems to me it's logical step for them. I mean, they're playing on every single continent (except Africa, I guess).

And Europe is just waiting for them!!!  ;D But I just hope these are first leg of Euro tour and there will be more dates.  :peace:

hope they come to italy

San Siro is a strong rumour.

Really hope they come to Portugal...axl hinted VERY strong at it when he was here in May with AC/DC

Full European summer tour is a no brainer IMO. But I wouldn't be expecting anything 'official' until after Christmas

This is being discussed in the general tour thread in more detail. Those dates have been doing the rounds for a while now.

From thegunsnroses.it FB

Secondo alcune persone della security di un concerto tenutosi a Milano ieri sera, i Guns N' Roses arriveranno nel nostro bel paese a Giugno,precisamente a san Siro e anzi,il loro arrivo sarebbe gi? confermato nel loro calendario.

^^ GN'R hitting San Siro in June, according to someone working concert security (whose company already signed on for the gig)

My friend works in a sound company in Dublin. 
Apprently, They are going to be doing cabling / sound for a press conference with MCD tomorrow in relation to a huge worldwide band doing a gig in Croke Park next July. 

Yea it was hinted on Irish radio that they'll be in Dublin next July

It'd be hilarious if there was an announcement tomorrow but it was some other band :beer:

Prepare to laugh then- it looks like Robbie Williams.

https://www.goss.ie/robbie-williams-lined-croke-park-2017/

Flip sake haha

I've heard of the guy but don't know any songs ::)

Try and keep it that way. I once worked at a record shop where we were forced to listen to his greatest hits over and over and over. Awful.

http://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2016/1027/827373-guns-n-roses-tipped-to-play-croke-park-in-2017/

Yeah spin here in Ireland seemed to be the only station who said it was Robbie Williams when all the others said GNR. But Robbie isn't playing at Croker so still two shows allowed next year.

Unrelated to pretty much everything but I decided to listen to Robbie Williams. While this surely can be good music for some, this is not for me.

What's with Croke Park and the restricted days? I know it's sacred and should really only be used for Gaelic games but is there any other reason? Surely, the pitch condition or only because it's our land. We want money from you but please don't disturb us.

I was in Dublin for study during the whole Garth Brooks hoo-ha (it was all anyone seemed to be talking about!).  I don't remember it all that well, but were there not problems with getting permits because of the stadium being in a residential area or something?  And yes, the condition of the pitch probably is a factor.

The Garth Brooks fiasco was because there were too many shows being added without permission. Croke Park is only allowed hold something like 3 concerts a year and Garth was selling out every date they added and then they told him he couldn't play that many after tickets were sold so he pulled the plug completely

Download Festival in the UK are announcing their headline acts on Thursday. It's the big rock festival in the UK, so could be a shout for GNR....although they aren't rumoured.

what do people think the chances of GNR headlining Glastonbury festival this year? last weekend in June.

I have tickets to the festival, to combine Glasto and GNR would be a dream!!

Wasn't Glastonbury the festival with the hate about Metallica? Or was it another one?

Well, we are getting too old to go to festivals. So hopefully they do independent stadiums and not festivals where there are way too many people because of some other band.

About chances I don't know but I'd imagine it could be in the negotiations.

I dodn't see any reason for playing festivals in Europe...
GNR can play sellout staium shows in almost every country in Europe...
For me they can play:
4 stadium shows in UK
4 stadium shows in Germany
1 stadium show in Ireland,Poland,Portugal,ex Yugoslavia (Belgrade or Zagreb),Switcherland,Hungary,Slovakia,Norway,Sweden,Netjerlands,Denmark,Belgium
2 or shows in Italy,France,Spain and Russia


It is almost 25 shows

I would LOVE to be wrong but i dont think GnR can sellout a stadium in portugal.

When we was here with AC/DC in May. Axl got a lot of praise for his performance but i dont think enough to sell out a stadium... but i hope my wrong!

Anyways... Super Bock Super Rock(one of the biggest festivals in Portugal) is announcing their first headliner in a few hours...

Could they do a Festival? Who knows right?

Sadly (in my view) though, the UK especially is obsessed with festivals. There's so many and loads of people go that never go to gigs normally- there's so much money involved, that I can't see them NOT doing festivals. Obviously as a fan I'm much rather they do their own shows- better atmosphere, better crowds etc etc.

I can't see them doing Glastonbury. These days it seems to be an event for rich bankers playing at being weekend warriors- I think GNR would be a terrible fit for an event like that.

I'm thinking the reason could be convenience. For the band that is.

They certainly won't have trouble selling stand-alone shows though, and I'm personally hoping for that.

We will see...Many of you guys were very sceptical about US stadium shows...And what did we get...Amazinhlg and very sucesufull tour

They will sell out stadiums in Europe easy. I reckon two nights at Wembley easy. They will sell in Europe even better than the states.

I don't think anyone is skeptical about a European tour though. Traditionally, they're a bigger draw in Europe than in the US. We might see even more multiple nights in the same city in Europe I think.

just doing a follow up on my post ... it was Red Hot Chili Peppers...still a great band : ok:

I have attended the last 4 Glastonbury festivals and I am not exaggerating when I say, I must see thousands of GNR TShirts at the festival every year when they are not even playing!

Slash played the festival about 5 years ago with Myles and received a great reception.

Getting tickets is down to luck, so I certainly don't see the festival as 'bankers' weekend blowout.  250k tickets sell out within 30 minutes most years and it is down chance whether you get through to the ticket page.

http://www.nme.com/blogs/festivals-blog/glastonbury-festival-2017-headliners-1554775

I see loads of GNR shirts around- most of them worn as fashion accessories these days sadly, in the same way as The Ramones shirts were about 5 years ago. Saw one after AC/DC and asked the girl wearing it if she enjoyed the show- she said "oh, have GNR played? I didn't know that." I said, "No the ACDC show". She said "what's that got to do with GNR?". Brilliant.

I haven't been to Glastonbury so my views come from others that have been- who say it's really posh and not at all 'rock'. I'm sure all sorts of people go though, so that's a generalisation, but given the cost of it all, it's inevitably going to be pretty posh I guess.  I think the reason I personally don't want to see them play is that A) it might take the place of a proper UK show and B) I don't want to see my favourite band suddenly become the current favourite band of the 'smoothies and selfies' crowd! Selfish really!

....also, my guess for the Glastonbury headliners is Radiohead (confirmed) Lady Gaga (pretty much confirmed) and either Green Day or Foo Fighters. I have no inside knowledge though- it's just a guess.

If we're going UK festivals for GNR- Reading/Leeds, Isle Of Wight or Download are the ones most likely in my view.

No GN'R for Download. System of a Down, Biffy Clyro & Aerosmith.

I guess it's gonna be stadiums! 🤘🤘👍👍

.....or Glastonbury, reading, leeds, t in the park, v, Isle of Wight, bst- there are absolutely loads of line ups to be announced. We're not out of the woods yet!

I doubt that Axl wants to set his foot into Reading/Leeds again.

seems they will play at hellfest...No Headliner Spot for GNR

https://www.facebook.com/RobZombie/?fref=ts

Hahaha, the troll poster of the week!! 
GN'R are beyond any of them, only stadiums can hold the hordes of their european fans!!  :beer:

And the Isle of Wight.... : ok:

I highly doubt they'd play T In The Park.  It's not really a hard rock or classic rock kind of festival.  Mostly dance music, indy shite and pop.

So? They played Coachella, hardly a rock festival either. Having said that I don't think that they will play festivals in Europe.

I'd be amaed if they don't play festivals. There's some serious money in them, and there are SO many in the summer, desperate to fill their headline slots.

A friend of mine who lives in London is hearing rumours about GnR playing the Olympic Stadium late June / early July.

That would make sense- Depeche Mode are playing there over the summer, and they're trying to push it as a venue now.

After I posted this, the conference turned out to be for Robbie Williams.

I heard from the same friend, that another conference is scheduled for December 5th with MCD in relation to a big gig next year.  I'm praying this time it might be Guns  ;D

Well, fingers crossed! There are loads of options floating about at the moment though, rumour-wise. Adele is a strong bet.

Some 'news' (i.e. rumour) about the European tour here- looks like their might be something in the Dublin rumour.....

http://www.nme.com/news/music/1871004-1871004

Interestingly though, that news article is quoting the Irish Times- but when you look on the Irish Times website there is no mention whatsoever of any of it.

The NME has become increasingly unreliable in recent years, so it might be a load of nonsense.

Could they have meant Irish Mirror?

http://www.irishmirror.ie/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/guns-n-roses-announce-croke-9316397

Yeah- they must have done! Dopes!

From what they're saying the show seems nailed on. I can't see them announcing it though without a full run of European dates, and we're not exactly swamped with rumours at present!

Seems someone uploaded a load of European tour dates to a wiki page, but they've gone now. Dates didn't look legit at all though to me. Strange thing to do by someone really.

Something this big could probably go viral and someone just wanted to try it.

True. Some loon made a whole website regarding a daft punk tour that didn't exist!

Rock FM (Radio Station in Spain) - http://www.rockfm.fm/ - has launched today the rumour that Barcelona, Madrid and Bilbao will be part of the upcoming European Tour.

Can't work out how to insert it as a picture, but the 'Patience GNFNR' motorway side-hoarding has just been seen in Winnipeg (Canada).

Could they squeeze in some Canada shows after Dubai, before Europe?

Beta said (in Portuguese) that the European tour is gonna happen. Actually, she talked about it when someone asked if they would keep touring, and she said "didn't we anounce it already? Europe and stuff?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKg1hlhb6f0

Amazing news. A bit off topic and a question to the Dutch fans around. Is marijuana legal during concerts? I mean during the concert itself, not before or after.  ;D

You can smoke in a coffee shop or at home but not out in the street or in a public place. You'd probably get away with it anyway though.

Nope....but you're not allowed to smoke anything inside any venue at all. Unless you go to one of those designated smoking booths   :-X

Word on the street is they're coming to Europe in July. My friend works at a big promoter and it's going to be BIG venues....

Hi Guys,
Long term lurker. Thought you might want to see this.  I have no idea if it is accurate or not.
Cheers

http://www.therockblog.net/concerti-tour/guns-n-roses-concerti-tour-italia-date-biglietti-scaletta/

I'd say that's just rumors at this point.




/jarmo

Beta is such a good person!  :love:
If I was her, I'd be trolling the fan like a motherfucker  :hihi:

Longer we wait the less sure I am this is happening in 2017. Their schedule is starting to look pretty busy next year,with Canada and USA looking like they're definitely happening. The cynic in me is suggesting that plans for next year have changed in recent weeks.

the south american tour ended last night right?

if nothing happens in the next 2 weeks i would be worried...

lets wait and see... something tells me that it will be announce this week and hopefully they will come to Portugal : ok:

It's still November guys ... last summer's US tour was announced in April I think... so don't worry ;)

Agree, no need to worry.

GN'R will definitely play Europe. There is no way they're skipping arguably their biggest market.

There biggest market??  Ha! 

When was the last European resedence ???   

You don't think that's convenience, the residency? Anyways, we're talking about roughly 25,000 tickets over a three-week run...

As far as I know, their numbers were consistently better in Europe than in the US in the 2006-2014 run. Not magnificently better, but the arena dates in the US didn't do quite as well as the ones in Europe.


EDIT TO ADD: For the last decade or so, this is not something exclusive to GN'R, I have the feeling that rock acts in general have done more business in Europe than in the US. Hopefully, with GN'R this year, the times are changing. Eddie Trunk made a good point that no matter if you are a fan of GN'R or not, them filling stadiums all over the United States is a good thing for rock music.

So are you talking past matter or current market?

Current market says the demand in the horrible USA is very high. It wasn't past

The market in Canada in the past tours you mentioned was way better than anything in Europe

Then you have South America.   That has been a faithful supporter of this band forever

Don't forget Asia.   For any concerts they get are always  huge

Now we have the Middle East.   

Huge pre bought concerts that they have been doing for a bit.  Huge profit.


Eroupe isn't even close to the top of the list

I would put Canada a past second.  Next to southern America

I would put the USA first right now.   There past was like 6th.  They were horrible fans

For Europe I can only rely on past numbers as they haven't played or even announced shows here yet.

But, the increase of demand has been enormous in both the US and the whole of South America. Nothing indicates it won't be the same case for Europe. If it is the same case, I would argue Europe as a whole is their biggest market. If the increase isn't the same, then no it isn't their current biggest market.

Let's wait and see what happens when they announce European dates. I predict an amount of shows in the vicinity of the summer US tour.

Relax. Nothing has been announced past March 3rd.

That leaves almost ten months of 2017 for shows in places that aren't Asia, the Middle East or Oceania..... That's a lot of room for shows!



/jarmo

So you went around the block to not say anything

Yeah, exactly!  ::)

GNR has been packed Stadiums in South America in 2010/2011/2014 and now 2016...SA fans were ALWAYS loyal to all incarnations of Guns n Roses.
Unfortunately they did not come to South America during 2002/2006/2007 tours but they would pack stadiums back them as well.
In my opinion their biggest market is by far south america (in terms of ticket sales).

Yep, history has shown that.

However they made mega money in the states this year, probably more than all those SA shows combined.

That is true, they've played stadiums there when the rest of the world had booked arenas. If you look at individual shows, then yes, South American shows have higher ticket sales. If you combine ticket sales from all shows within a region, then I'm not sure, because there haven't been as many shows in SA in one leg of a tour as there have been for the US and Europe.

Now that they seem to be playing stadiums everywhere, the playing field has sorta leveled. It then it comes to the amount of shows booked for a leg. I just believe the US and Europe will be the top 2 markets based on that. There are more cities to choose from, really.

For South America we've had Santiago, Buenos Aires, Rosario, Brasilia, Rio, Sao Paulo, Porto Alegre, Curitiba, Lima and Medellin. That's 10 cities with maybe 3-5 potential ones left out.

For NA, there have been 22-23 cities, with maybe 5-10 left out during the last run. We're looking at around 30 cities who can probably hold up a stadium show.

For Europe there are London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow, Lisbon, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Lyon, Nice, Amsterdam, Brussels, Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Berlin, Frankfurt, D?sseldorf, Hamburg, Munich, Z?rich, Wien, Milan, Rome... That's 28 potential places for Western Europe only.

The only reason I said Europe is arguably their biggest market has nothing to do with fan rabidness for GN'R being much bigger there than anywhere else, just that the quantity of cities they could play is larger than many other places in the world. And the reason I mentioned it in the first place had nothing to do with making a statement about Europe, just that I gave a reason there's no way Europe will be left out of the tour or anything.


Anyways... it's not a competition. As GN'R fans, we're all winners in this. I have enjoyed the hell out of the success they've been having in both North and South America so far, it's kinda surreal to me still.  :peace:

Good post but you forgot that a good few of those cities could and probably would be multi show packages London is a deffo, along with Paris, Munich, Madrid,  Milan or Rome

BTW the only way GnR are playing the Isle of Wight is on Friday 9th June, the 10th has Arcade Fire and even worse on the 11th we have Rod Stewart  :crying: WTF have they done.... The rumour is the GnR won't be doing any festivals in the UK this year aparently said by John Giddens (the IoW promoter, but haven't seen anything that I can put up as a link.)

Personally, since I'm not a "festival guy", I'm hoping they won't do too many festivals.

Europe supported the album CD, actually way more than the Americans

So did Canada

I really wouldn't of included the United States on any fan list, until this past tour there....   

Today the portuguese tabloide Correio da Manha had this cover.

Check the botom left.

Although it's a shity paper, it's also the largest selling newspaper in Portugal

Cool, maybe one big announcement coming up? Both NA and Europe..

Ok- that's good news!

Great news. But the best part is "Figo presents his daughter to the society" :hih:

Or Benfica is seven points ahead of Porto :)

Is this a national newspaper or a local one?

National: Bigest selling newspaper in Portugal

Thanks. Was just wondering if we could narrow it down on what city it might be in.

Almost 100% sure it is Lisbon.

And i bet the  concert will take place in Passeio Mar?timo de Alg?s - the same place where Axl did his first show with AC/DC  -  just 3km away from my house. I will walk there  :peace:

Is Rock In Rio Lisboa runn by the same people as the Brazil one? If not, this could be a buildup to them playing there?

no , Rock In Rio in Portugal is made with a 2 years gap. Last one was this year so there is no Rock In Rio here in 2017

Ha! Well we can definitely rule that one out then!

We have a new city!

https://www.facebook.com/events/566483033541455

For those who don't use Facebook:

Warsaw, Poland - PGE Narodowy - 1 July 2017

That's the national stadium and it was always going to get a gig.

Is that legit? Seems weird that a travel agent would jump the gun on any official announcement....

Patience poster up in Dublin, Ireland. Lets hope they announce a gig soon : ok: :peace:,I've no patience :hihi:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057656959&page=20

It is only a rumour like all the others we have. It reads that this is an unofficial page for the event that has now been strongly rumoured and we have to wait for the official announcement.

Show rumoured for Parken in Copenhagen, Denmark on June 6 according to Danish music magazine Gaffa.dk - an add has been printed in a newspaper saying "Patience".

And an Israeli news (http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4878415,00.html) site claims it's "official" that the band would play at Tel Aviv @ July 15

Announcement has GOT to be coming any day now surely?!

I would say next week for sure...finish south american tour and then announce europe.

Makes sense i think.

Talk on another forum that that there is an announcement on a Canadian tour on Monday, with dates running through July/August. IF that's correct, where does that leave Europe? September is too late to be doing outdoor stadiums in most places there.

Sometime before July I guess.

Could be May/June

Do you buy this rumour? May/June is pretty early fr outdoor gigs in a lot of places, and it flies in the face of many other European rumours about July dates.

Not sure...

But it could be done with a smart routing of the tour.

Southern part of Europe in May, then northern in June.


July/Aug for NA could also mean they start late in July. The EU tour could then very well be mid-May ? mid-July.

Yeah that's a possibility. It does seem like Canada/US is coming first- just based on the sheer amount of billboard and poster sightings (which are still very very minimal anywhere in Europe really).

But the advertising is happening in Europe, even with less reports of sightings.

To me, as long as there is evidence advertisement is going on, it shouldn't matter how many places have reported it. Why start advertising in Ireland, Portugal and Denmark if they don't plan on announcing anything for a long time...

The advertisement campaigns have previously only lasted for a few days, so I don't think this case is any different.  : ok:

True. I do find it weird that nothing is showing up elsewhere though. Could we be looking at a very few select stadium shows across Europe? Ah I dunno!

I'm half really enjoying all this speculation, half just desperate for it to come to an end, one way or the other! Good fun though!

Portugal was first reported yesterday I think.

I think we might see more countries joining in soon.

I'm not 100% sure, but I guess the national promoters are handling their own country's promotion. That could be why they didn't start promoting on the exact same day.

Haha, yeah, this speculating is good fun as it reminds of waiting for this one album back in the day. What was it, like Democracy to Asia or something.

I am also a bit worried about that advertising in NA but let's think about this. As mentioned, the advertising has started in Europe, therefore, something is definitely coming soon.

Then, why haven't we seen many billboards? I live in a biggish city and with a new stadium there's an outside chance they could even come here. Unlikely though because there are three capital cities within few hours from here. I suppose they will all get a gig with two of them already being rumoured. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some billboards there but we don't have an agent to verify it.

It doesn't mean they are not there for everyone to see.

For this tour announcments were made 5 to 6 months prior the shows. So im guessing there will be announcements just before or first thing next year.

New rumour : 24 years after their last visit, GNR will return to the Festival Park in Werchter, Belgium (site of the Axl/DC show in May) on Friday June 9th 2017.

This is not part of the Werchter Festival, but a standalone show at the same site, kinda like the recent Springsteen and Axl/DC shows there.

Source : Gazet Van Antwerpen (big national newspaper).

Can we speculate more 8)

I just heard that there's a NEW festival in the Greater Helsinki area, Finland called Rockfest on 9th of June. They will announce their headliner on Friday.

Yes this correct. 9 June belg at stadium

Almost 100% sure that the headliner for that will be Rammstein. And when the festivals capacity is only for 25000 people, don't think that they'll gonna even try get GN'R too.

I think festivals are out for Europe- GNR want more money than they can afford to pay. I presume Download would have tried their best to get them, and if they haven't, I seriously doubt anyone has.

That's true. No way any festival in Finland can afford to pay for GN'R.

Still no poster/board sightings in the UK? I'd bet on at least one show- at Wembley or the new London Stadium.....

On today's portuguese newspaper...

http://blitz.sapo.pt/principal/update/2016-11-29-Anuncio-de-jornal-enigmatico-concerto-dos-Guns-N-Roses-em-Portugal-quase-a-ser-anunciado-

Portuguese concert on the way???

Think that was on here a couple of days ago if you read back. Or is it something different?

Yes...you are right...but it said "Patience"...we evolved to "Welcome to the Jungle"...only hope we reach "Paradise City" and have an official confirmation for a concert.

Brilliant! Fingers crossed too!

At work so dont mind the no videos.

But at Arnhem central station and Rotterdam The Netherlands the commercials are showong through beamers :)

So maybe Rotterdam show and Arnhem show for the dutchies!

Rotterdam : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rm_3KyjF2o
Arnhem : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqXrOF9ZTso

Fingers crossed and hoping for a quick announcement  : ok:

Announce the European 2017 tour already.  :confused:

Like others have said here I think we will get it early next week and tickets will be on sale end of next week in Europe at least. All these posters and banners have to mean something is coming sooner rather than later, well I hope so.

Would prefer indoor arena shows to Stadiums, but I guess the money they are getting / requesting for gigs,it will be stadiums.

Given the rumour that there is a press conference on Monday in Dublin for 'a major band' and the additional rumour that a show in Dublin will start the European tour, could we be looking at a member of the band flying out to Dublin on Monday, where they will use the start venue of the next leg of touring to announce the entire tour of Europe, Canada and USA?

London Olympic Stadium is 99.9 per cent confirmed. I've seen a seating chart on tichetmaster for the gig. They've removed it now, but it was there, for a fact. Pitch was all standing with a golden circle at the front, that looked bigger than the American ones. It had no date on it, but it's clearly there ready to go live.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuZMYLiA-nU

So after Rotterdam, Arnhem also The Hague!

I assume that means there'll be a show somewhere in the Netherlands...



/jarmo

If it'll be a stadium show in the Netherlands I'm guessing Amsterdam Arena.

But I wouldn't mind a nice outdoor concert in Nijmegen again, like in 2006

I heard through the grapevine that this coming Monday a Dutch show will be announced for Goffertpark.....So I guess on Monday the entire European tour will be announced.

Date still TBA / TBD of course but since your ears catch things earlier... did you hear a possible date, maybe ?  :peace:

The date I heard was July 12th....

Has any information come up regarding any dates in UK other than London? I expect the London one will be two nights- wonder if that's all the UK will get?

Other possibilities?

Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow maybe.

Not sure about Birmingham, stadium wise. Manchester, Glasgow, Coventry and Sunderland are options. The latter two aren't huge cities, but their stadiums have been used a lot in recent years for gigs. I've looked all through ticketmaster- can't find any slip-ups though like the London one!

Manchester would be my strongest guess in there- but I have a good friend in Manchester (who isn't remotely interested in GNR!) who I've had looking out for posters/signs etc. He's seen nothing.

Maybe Cardiff?

Yeah, that's a possibility. Nothing showing up on ticketmaster, but obviously that doesn't mean anything. If they just do London, I think those gigs will sell pretty well. There's the slim possibility of a BST show in Hyde Park- but they might demand exclusivity in London, unless they hold that announcement until after the Olympic Stadium shows have sold- which seems to be what  they've done with Phil Collins and his Royal Albert Hall shows.

Here in Lisbon , Portugal : ok: : ok: : ok:

1st of July H?meenlinna, Finland

http://www.ticketmaster.fi/event/195763

Seems like Ticketmaster fucked up a little.

http://www.ticketmaster.de/search/?keyword=Guns+N%C2%B4+Roses-+Not+In+This+Lifetime+Tour+VIP

Sweden also fucked up :)

GONE

What is the rumored date for Lisbon?

Elton John is playing in Airdrie, for some reason - it'd be hilarious for Guns N' Roses to follow suit  :rofl:

Glad to see the scandinavian dates the first weekend of July, I hope it won't cross my Rock Werchter plans  :)

July 12th, Goffertpark would be perfect and makes sense! Just survive this weekend and hope for an announcement this monday.

Saw a poster in Kensington, London.

Posh! To be fair, you probably have to live there to afford some of these prices, so they're targeting the right type of upper class twit!

Rrreally looking forward to this... Hoping to see them here in London (Reading based, but whatever), and in Finland at least.

i dont think there is any dates in Scandinavia yet.. No posters spotted in Oslo?

Posters and ads spotted in Denmark!

I'm updating the list innthe general thread. So far it looks like Denmark, Sweden and Finland will be getting dates.

http://festileaks.com/2016/12/guns-n-roses-neemt-amsterdam/

Amsterdam

Oh marvelous.

Tried to get a ticket for something in uk this morning- all the ticket sites wouldn't even let me on- Adele put two Wembley shows on sale and crashed the sites due to demand. She's added more. On sale.....Friday. If that's the day GNR tickets go on sale too, it'll be hell trying to buy them.

Why the heck do concerts all go on sale on the same day?! Spread it out!

Hold your horses, mate. This is great news if someone called Adele has announced her dates now.

We are supposed to be announced on Monday and then someone said no, it'll be Adele. Apparently she's been there and done that so this only leaves us with someone from Hollywood or somewhere.

She's only added London dates though- rumour says others are getting announced, but I'm convinced we're getting our announcement Monday either way, on sale Friday.  Just concerned about the on sale-honestly couldn't even get onto the homepage this morning because of bloody Adele! I really don't want to be stuck in the middle of that again next Friday! Ah well- we'll see what happens!

Bilbao,Spain. Confirmed yesterday on TV: (30 May 2017)

The membership for the coolest of the fan clubs is only USD45. After that you get to choose when and where to go to. Let the others worry if they can find tickets :peace:

I've been told golden circle tickets aren't in the Nightrain presale. Is that true?

Already bought my ticket for BILBAO

 ;D ;D ;D

That I don't know and it's probably up for the promoters in where ever.

Nor I care, just the tranquility that I know I will have a ticket and I will be there where ever it may be.

It's what puts me off joining really - I want a golden circle tickets, and reading back on here the Nightrain presale has been criticised a lot. Think I'll have to take my chances with the general onsale, unless I hear otherwise and anyone knows?

GNR In Italy @ June 10

These posters are just begging to be stolen- barely even stuck on! If I was in Stockholm they would be on my wall pretty soon!

Im startig to get worried about a Norwegian date! No posters? No rumours or anything?  :nervous:  :confused:  :crying:

Don't worry- feel free to join me on a trip to another country to see them.  More the merrier!

I will probably see them in several countries, but i still think its kinda weird to leave out Norway while playing Sweeden and Danmark. Dosent make sence. But then again, nothing is confirmed yet, and we just gotta wait and see what happens

Have just seen the "The Machine is back in 2017" advert three times on Sky TV in Ireland in the last 15 Mins . Guess the concert in Ireland / Euro tour announcement is definitely coming tomorrow if they are showing the advert that much.  ;D :beer:

The tv add is passing in different cable chanels here in Portugal aswell.

They seem to be really pushing the Ireland show- I've seen nothing in England at all. I understand there are some posters in London, but personally, I've seen nothing in the north of England- no press ads, posters or tv.

I guess we will all know tomorrow. When / If the Euro tour is announced.

They really do seem to be pushing the Irish concert alright. Maybe a gentle reminder to the casual fan here to sell more tickets. Really hope it is Croke Park and not Slane as the venue.

I'm convinced it's coming tomorrow- but I'm not too sure where that conviction comes from! Fingers crossed for you lot in Ireland, as absolutely no one seems to want Slane as a venue. They must be fairly uncertain of it's ability to see though if they're going for the advertising that much. Perhaps they think a London show will pretty much sell itself- which I'm sure it will.

Yeah, I'm convinced too.

Announcement of a  "Big Rock Concert" expected over here around 10am-10:30am so it has to be GNR. I think any GNR gig over here will sell well, but a little etc. push with ad's etc. will help.

The UK tour as you say "Sells itself" no need for major advertising. Bigger country =Bigger fanbase.

Yeah- especially if they just do London. You've got that catering for England, Wales and Scotland then. A lot of potential people. Could end up being a tough ticket to get if that's the case.

Cant see them just doing one concert in the Uk or London. It will be multiple venues in the UK or multiple nights in London, too many fans not to cash in on the loyal fanbase.

Anyway until tomorrow, then hopefully this rumours / guessing game will come to an end and we will have official confirmation of the tour.

Final bit of speculation! haha!

I'm going two or three nights at Olympic Stadium, and that's it for UK, personally. Maybe one in Glasgow though. As you say- tomorrow will tell! Then we can spend a few days worrying about getting tickets!

Just been through an early copy of Monday's Metro newspaper in the UK in case there were any announcements- nothing in there, which probably means the info hasn't been sent out by press release with an embargo for Monday. The management must be planning to be the first to reveal any information.

I'm so relieved to see those ads in Helsinki. It's gonna happen!

June 29


Edit: booked!  ;D

My friends in Finland are reporting that there are also posters in Oulu, near the Lapland border. Somewhat crazy I think but why not.

This happens soon, just let Adele tell her dates first.

Not that crazy actually, as Finland is a country with wide-spread but small population, so people are used to having to travel to the other side of the country to see a band live :)

Heared yesterday the rumor that European tour will be anmoumced at noon today. Source is a promoter in Holland who has several festivals and coworks with mojo/livenation.

Dont shoot the messenger  :beer: :beer:

I can confirm this, just be alert at 12:00 EET.

Ticketmaster has a London date on 16th June on their site. 

Ticketmaster also seems to have these already up there:

Olympic Stadium, M?nchen, June 13
Messegel?nde, Hannover, June 22
Ernst-Happel-Stadion, Vienna, July 10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_mR6BrdPJU

H?meenlinna, Finland confirmed: http://www.soundi.fi/uutiset/varmistus-saatiin-guns-n-roses-tulee-suomeen-lipunmyynti-alkaa-pian/

July 1st!

all dates up on nightrain

And then the rest: http://www.gunsnroses.com/tour

Nothing in Norway yet :'(

That's weird actually. Wonder why they don't stop there between Copenhagen and Stockholm shows. Promoters sleeping or simply no fitting date/venue?

Hi,

Are the Nightrain Tickets 4/show or 4 all together?

http://www.ticketmaster.ie/Guns-N-Roses-tickets/artist/735218?camefrom=FB_WP_GNR_051216
Slane confirmed!

One date in uk on sale at the same time as Adele? That's fucking madness.

Where's warsaw? They were pushing ads there, no date?

I'VE GOT TICKETS TO THE OLYMPIC STADIUM FUCK YEAH!!!! gold circle apparently.. thinking slane castle and a European date too. So fucking happy right now. The beauty of nightrain pre sale.

Dare I ask how much? Are Nightrain doing presale golden circle for all the gigs?

Netherlands:
http://www.ticketmaster.nl/artist/guns-n-roses-tickets/1813?language=en-us

No date in Norway... Crap. Norwegian promoters must be sleeping

?95 per ticket for standing at the London Olympic stadium...Ouch

Golden Circle, is that right in front of the stage?

Prague:

http://www.livenation.cz/show/918657/guns-n-roses-not-in-this-lifetime-tour/Prague/2017-07-04/cz

Yes, it's actualy half a circle.  ;D

Fucking hell that's expensive.

So.. nothing to do With A Perfect Circle?  :hihi:

I think Slane Castle might me my Choice here....

Can u tell us how much for 'regular' seats? or standing area?

Hey

 

If I buy Nightrain membership, can I buy tickets in the presale straight away?  And do i need the regular package or premium? 

I'm so excited I just need a ticket now!!!


Thanks

.....and golden circle please!  

So how's the golden half a circle actually working? Is it any good and what are the benefits?

Pretty expensive but we should've known.
140 euros golden circle
101 euros for standing ticket

Goffertpark

Got my Golden Circle tickets for Goffertpark Nijmegen  8) :beer:

?165 London golden circle
?95 standing
?84-?138 for seats.

Fucking hell. I can't see many people paying ?84 to sit on the top level at the back of a stadium personally!

?165 each which I know is ridiculous but when it comes to this my budget is out of the window. I've seen the golden circle for the slane castle too so I'm assuming they do have that option, haven't checked the euro dates yet.

Got my ticket to London (GC), but for some reason my code is not working for tickets in Finland...

Annoyed!!

If you join nightrain can you get tickets straight away?

Alternatively (no chance of this probably!) anyone not planning on getting tickets that would be kind enough to help me out?

OMG!!!  I'm going to see Guns N Roses!!!  ;D ;D ;D

Anybody out there be willing to give me a Nightrain presale code to get a ticket for the slane concert,please.

It's a closed off half a circle right in front of the stage which you can walk in and out of.

Example:

(http://i47.tinypic.com/2ebuwp5.jpg)

Haha! My thinking too, as mentioned above. Don't think it will happen- I'll let you know if I get one though.

This is weird but we have Gdańsk. It's a great city and I'll be there. Surely some dates will still be added.

what site is it best to get tickets for Gdansk from?

You never know, you got to ask.  : ok:

Got my ticket for Friends Arena! :beer:

For sure! I'm tempted to bite the bullet on the membership really.....

Im guessing the same thing too. Notice the gaps after te London / Paris dates, i guess for multiple shows in the weekend

Greetings from snowy Finland  :D

(http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k225/kupirock/gnr2016.jpg)

Local Ticketmaster, just got my ticket :peace:

Anybody knows the ticket prices for Imola? can't find on tickemaster :-\

It says EUR 87.25.

CZECH REPUBLIC!!!! YAYYYYY! :D Jul 4 2017. I think I'll be there! 8)

(http://www.ticketpro.cz/public/bb/ea/90/2019266_1307691_GNR_180.jpg)

Thank you. This is general standing?

I just joined the Nightrain and tried to bye tickets but my code doesn't work.  :rant:

Does anyone know how long it takes to have the code activated and be able to buy the tickets?

Edited: Works now!!! I have tickets, unbelievable!

Seems that reserved seating only allows top tier which sucks (at Olympic Stadium)

I'm presuming the standing also includes unreserved seating on the lower tier as specified in the seating layout? That seems like the best option (wife doesn't really like standing for concerts especially if it's difficult to see).

My code worked straight away (although haven't bought the tickets yet as working out what to go for)

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'm in! I've spent a small fortune, but I'm in! Gdansk and Lisbon, here we go! The fact I've spent a small fortune will hit me in about ten minutes, and I have no job, but man, this is a rush this morning!

Well done  :beer:

Any chance you have a code??

Supposedly, the cheapest price at least.

Booked Standing for London. Hope it includes the lower tier seating as well

Man, that's not cheap. Think the Wembley tickets in 1992 were only ?30 or so

Anyway to check if there's presale-tickets left before joining nighttrain?

Need floortickets (golden circle) for the Stockholm show :)

No way I could see on Ticketmaster, just had to sign up but seemed to be tickets available for everything for London anyway.

Got it to work!! Brilliant!!

No problems getting 4 GC-tickets for Stockholm! Woho!

Got mine for London, no problem at all  8)

Yay!  Need to book tickets now - do you have to be a night train member to get tickets early??

any night train numbers going for London????

Got 2 golden circle tickets for Slane. Really hope the weather holds up for this gig. The last time I saw them at Slane it was a hot, sunny day and it made all the difference. Anyway it doesn't really matter. Very excited to be reliving the experience I had when I was 16.

I bought 4 tickets for London June 16th through Viagogo, they've been 'confirmed', but then realised the tickets don't go on general sale until 10am Friday. Is this still legit???   :nervous:

That's a ticket touting website- so who knows? Some shady practices go on with that site- you'd be best off sticking to official ticket sellers. You'll probably be ok, but you mind find come friday you get a 'refund'.

I am so jealous that you were there  :hihi:
I've only ever seen some dodgy footage of that gig but have heard it was amazing. 

Sorry but theres a big chance you were deceived! Always use the official channels for tickets information!

It was a different time, it was an amazing experience back then as a teenager going to a concert with one of the biggest bands in the world. It will be amazing in other ways this time round and more of a spectacle too. Hard to believe it's been 25 years

I'd say so.  It should be a really good show, hope they keep Coma in the set list next year.   ;D

Typical... so busy with work, I assumed there was a mad rush so ordered them immediately. Probably hiked in price but as long as I get them I'm not fussed  :hihi:

BTW... hi to everyone on here, been keeping up with current affairs on this site for over 10 years, but never posted!!

It'll probably all be fine. How much did you pay can I ask?

Hopefully... will have to keep my eyes glued come Friday! I think it was ?140 + booking fee etc  :o

Golden circle or regular standing? If it's GC, that's actually cheaper, if it's general standing, it's a bit more, but to be honest not that much more- pretty much no more if you consider the cost of Nightrain membership that was needed too to get tickets today. I'd say you've got nothing to worry about at all there.

Just ordered my ticket for the Vienna show. Ticketmaster charged me a cool ?25 for shipping, gotta love it.  :hihi:

Anyways, see you all there!  :)

Just bought a couple of tickets for the Copenhagen show - Golden Circle VIP, of course.

Ticketmaster, you big pile of...

I hope I can get my ticket for the H?meenlinna gig some day.

Got my tickets to the show in Finland  : ok:

Imola it's fuckin expensive, as usual  :P

Rivazza: 87,35?
Posto Unico: 87,50?
Golden Circle: 104,50?
Pacchetto Gold Circle Early Entry: 279,53?
Posto Unico Paradise City Party: 347,28?
Gold Circle Welcome to the Jungle 1004,55?

Got my ticket for The Madrid Show - Golden Circle  :beer: :beer: :beer:

https://www.gnrfinland.fi/ Web site for the show in Finland.



/jarmo

Just spotted this too. Is this a common thing, like do they have a site for every country or is this something the Finnish promoters put up?

Guess it's up to the local Live Nation company to set up.


/jarmo

i've had tickets from there rejected at shows before, thankfully the venue were nice enough to let me re-buy them as face value tickets, and i did get a refund from viagogo

London ticket purchased (alas only normal standing - Gold Circle pre-sale was already sold out by the time I joined Nightrain).

Bring it on.  ;D

And if it only had stopped there. I paid fuckin' 40 euros for the delivery of the ticket. Yes, 40 euros was added to the total and the system said there are no print-at-home tickets and pre-sale tickets can't be collected from the venue either.

You don't often feel this cheated but I had my flights booked already so I had to let it go. I hope to God someone will actually deliver the ticket then. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more problems to come.

Lisboaa here we come. Fuck Madrid...50? more expensive. Can't wait to see the city either  :) :)

I was able to print mine out, that's sucks paying extra for delivery

Is that normal these days? Seems excessive.

I could post a parcel from here to Australia for less

Got my Tickets for Slane Castle! Gold Circle!  :-* : ok: :beer:

Are there still London tickets available for Nightrain members?

How much are they?

It's a bit unfair they allowed people to sign up to Nightrain and buy the tickets at the same time. Already a lot of tickets on resellers. What's the point in being a Nightrain member when you try that day to get tickets and they're sold out.

I'm considering going from Lisbon.
Can you please post the ticket prices.
Do you have some kind of map for the different tickets zones?

Fuck, Golden circle is sold out already it seems! I found cheap flight and love to spend the days after in Florence... But I don't wanna be miles from the stage :(

Got tickets for Werchter Classic (155 euro) and goffert park (135 euro) so this is quite cheaper for me ..

hi Ash

so I guess you signed up for the nighttrain thing to get those werchter golden tickets (ticket sales start 9 december)

I'm from belgium so I also will go to werchter, do you advise me to join the nighttrain or wait till the 9th for puchasing the golden ticket? I dont think the golden tickets will be sold out until the 9th ...

greets

I hope they will be available as some friends also are waiting. But I think you better get on the nightrain to be sure. For Imola it appears they are sold out already

Same here, I had a meeting starting but I thought I need this to be done NOW. The Italians just sent me an invoice:

Ticket EUR87.25
Commission EUR5.32
Postage EUR39.99

Grand total: EUR132.56

I feel such an idiot but at least there's my correct address listed so maybe, just maybe, I actually get the ticket delivered. I'm not looking forward trying to handle a lost ticket with any Italians :peace:

Is that true it's sold out though? So it just might've been a good move to rush a little.

Well, friday will be a fight on ticketone... I'll try to get a  couple of paradise city party package if the aren't worse than the golden circle ones, cause i think i'll be far from stage  :'(

Tickets for The Netherlands and Ireland!

Tickets to London purchased!!!!

Through the nightrain pre-sale?

I keep getting the sold out message....starting to feel like ive flushed $45 down the toilet

Imola only has a few hotels and they are laughably expensive. So, how do you get back to Bologna after the show? I have taken taxis a few times in Italy and did not like the prices of those either.

There don't seem to be any scheduled nightrains.

There is a decent property 6.6 miles away, I wouldn't mind walking that if I had beer to go with. It'd only take 90mins and a clear summer night after a massive show :beer:

Anybody bought tickets for Stockholm via Americanexpress presale? I tried but I get sold-out message.
I tried for Finland gc ticket too- same. Are they already gone?

I noticed ticketmaster in the UK are selling tickets under 'get them now when you join Nightrain'- that's pretty off considering the Nightrain pre-sale will be long sold out. I'd be pissed off.

So this is how the released the news in Ireland https://youtu.be/4BRyEwTch8w

That first shot of the posh fool on the motorbike is absolutely painful! haha- what a prick!

A number of tickets are reserved for the Nightrain fanclub.  There's no way there'd be nothing left for the general public on Friday.

Yay, I found an Airbnb room from the Imola village center. I can walk to the gig :peace: :beer:

What is only now left is to inform my boss and GF that I'm going. And of course to receive the physical ticket but I'm not too worried about it.

Got tix for Slane Castle and the Netherlands!

Great Times, Got two golden circle VIP's for London.

He is the son of Henry Mount Charles, the owner of Slane Castle. They are a bit posh but I don't know if he's a prick. I've met his dad a couple of times, pleasant enough fellow. Be nice having Guns n Roses playing in your back garden.

Got tickets for Copenhagen and Stockholm! :headbanger:

Whola!

someone please could point me to the official direction of getting standing tickets for Werchter and Nijmegen NOW?
i couldnt see tickets being available yet, but some people here already have them?!? thanks in advance!

Maybe they got them through the fan club?

Also, people with American Express credit cards seem to be able to take part in Amex pre-sales in many countries...



/jarmo

Is it easy to get transportations from Slane Castle to Dublin after the show?

I did a Google search and it seems like there's been buses from/to Dublin for past shows there.



/jarmo

Thanks Jarno, can anybody local confirm, are the buses expensive?

I've got tickets for Nijmegen via the Nightrain presale.

Just tried to get (standing) tickets for London with the Nightrain presale but no luck, hoping for a second date.

They are not but reading this board you can find horror stories like sitting on the bus for two hours and moving a few metres.

Locals are saying it's not a good place to have a gig. I've never been there myself but a simple look at Google Maps doesn't make me want to go there either.

Some years ago people were sleeping there in the fields with no chance to get back to Dublin.

Don't shoot the messenger.

I'm excepting one date in Eastern Europe

... or i'll just go to the Madrid gig insted.

Got GA standing for London. Couldn't justify the GC ones but now thinking of doing the second date should it get announced.

Can't wait!

Just signed up for Nightrain... tried to get tickets for London... none available!!  Any idea if I'm doing something wrong, or have I just missed out?  Anyone else having trouble?

I have tickets for Nijmegen, Dublin, Stockholm and Copenhagen  :peace: :hihi:

It would be nice for the band to post something like

Here are the presales. 

Fan clubs

Cc's

This and that's.

And what tickets are actually available for each code

Another hodgepodge of multiple codes for multiple things

Yeah, fair enough. I was being a bit harsh really - i'm sure the guy is ok really. It just made me laugh, but I don't want to run anyone down!

I was wondering the same thing since there almost no rooms available close to slane castle. I know a busdrive takes about 90 minutes but not if they are on a regular  basis.

I'm getting the same thing - but other people on here seem to be getting them so I'm not sure what's happening.

I suspect there will also be quite a few tickets will be available on Viagogo already - I'm sure it's because people genuinely now cant go after buying tickets and not just a bunch of money grabbing tout-scum chancers  ::)

This might be the wrong place to ask, but.... Has anyone else had problems to join "Nightrain" ? When I try to pay it, it always says " The charge authorization has been declined".
In Guns n Roses.com they just said, I should contact to my bank.... Creditcard is valid!

Are you using a credit card with the same name you have registered to Nightrain with? For example if you have registered using your own name (duh) but are using someone else's credit card to pay for it (always a good idea), it will most likely cause an authorization issue.

Yes... Absolutely. Same name...

Just got tickets through O2 presale.  GA as GC had sold out within 2 minutes!!!

It depends, of course, on the system but generally it doesn't matter what name you use. It's not validated in any way. If you don't take my word for it just try using 'Slash' the next time you buy something and the payment will go through.

I'm a football (soccer) guy and have even used Jari Litmanen once :hihi:

I'm gonna go to Imola but I'm having doubts between getting just regular tickets now with the presale or waiting until the tickets go on general sale and hope for golden circle tickets!

Though it really doesn't make sense to me to have the fanclub presale limited to a certain amount of tickets ?!

I mean the prices are the same and you'd say they would prefer to have as many die hard fans as possible attending?

It's fraud protection by your bank.  Call the customer service number on the back of the card and confirm it was you making that particular purchase.  Until you do, that card will continue to be rejected by all merchants.  Even though your creditcard is valid, during this time of year (Christmas/Hanukkah) when people make not only more but also more unusual purchases, some banks put this extra layer of security on their cards for your protection.  It's a pain but it's a good thing.

I encountered a probem because I had a different billing address to the address I wanted the shirt sent to- I had to go back and sort it by filling in the addresses separately.

I would say though, that if you're doing it for pre-sale access, I'd say it's pretty unlikely there will be any tickets left now, and you'd be better off taking your chances in the general sale on Friday.....

Way hay-  just got a pair of standing tickets for London, O2 customer ticket thingy, my son-in-law is on the O2 network  : ok:

Surely it could be that, it happened to me when I made an online purchase in Kazakhstan. But sounds very weird why that would happen in a US shop when trying to pay $45.

My bank screwed up that nicely. The purchase was authorised and they did not contact me but simply locked my card. I went to my local supermarket right after and I don't care so much how embarrassing it was but I had to leave all my groceries including beer there :rant:

Yeah, it saved my ass. Not the same thing, but Amazon warned me and rejected a purchase: someone hacked my account and bought an iPhone 7 128 GB unlocked (and a screen protection, lol) in US. And I had made purchases before in US, but somehow its system recognized it was someone else (maybe because she failed to put some info about my credit card).

Just a PSA: don't use the same passwords for different things. I was probably hacked in Linkedin first, and then the person used the same login/password to use my Twitter and Amazon accounts. :(

Tickets booked for Dublin and Paris.  :D

It was so hard looking on patiently as the Americans had all the fun. It's our turn now!  : ok:

Still dont know whats wrong with my creditcard, but problem is solved.... My girlfriend registered and join "Nightrain" and now we have tickets to Stockholm!!!

So going to the London show and also slane in ireland. Just managed to book a hotel not far from slane but it was hard work finding availability. Also got a car hire to get me there from Dublin airport etc, pretty expensive overall but will be worth it. Particularly looking forward to my first experience in the apparent golden circle! Hopefully with the price I've paid I'll get a good view haha.

I honestly believe they will come back to the uk again at some point. I live in the north close to Liverpool and I was a bit surprised with only one show announced. I thought the Etihad stadium would be a good venue as I saw him there with AC/DC last June and it was amazing.

London tickets done!!

If anyone needs a golden circle ticket for London drop me a message. I paid ?300 through stub hub but will accept less than this.

If you're hiring a car to get to Slane. Be prepared for a bit of walking as they won't let you drive into Slane village without a resident pass. There's usually a few fields outside reserved for parking but still a bit of a walk to the venue. Hopefully we'll get nice weather for the day, see you in the circle.

Can anyone give more info about presales, prices, etc?

I'm not a Nighttrain member but willing to sign up today if I can get hold of standing (possibly gold circle) tickets for the London show (am I too late to the party?).
Where can one check availability, prices etc?
Also, pretty sure they'll add 1-2 extra London dates on either 17th / 18th / 19th :beer:

PPS I'm also considering Dublin, Bilbao and/or Imola, can anyone post more info about these please? : ok:

Cheers

London tickets purchased through Live Nation presale general admission,  circle sold out.

Imola is hard for both tickets and accommodation anywhere closer than some 25 miles from Imola with no public transport apparently available. Unless, of course, there are some special buses for the show, that I don't know.

I've got all that sorted already but I have no idea how is a Formula 1 track as a rock venue. Does anyone know about that? I must say I'm actually a little worried that it's just not at all good but never mind the darkness, we still can find a way :smoking:

The presale tickets for London (standing/gc) are not available anymore. I'm gonna try again in regular sale tomorrow or any other show that'll be added

I'd hazard a guess that Nightrain pre-sale tickets will be gone for every venue by now. I'd say it's not worth joining if your only reason to is to get pre-sale tickets now, and you're better off getting in on the general sale tomorrow.

19th? There's a show in Poland on the 20th.
Even the 18th would seem highly unlikely for the same reason.

IF there's a second show, it would be the day after the first one. Like in nine cases out of ten (Chicago was an exception).



/jarmo

Thanks guys for all the replies. I guess I'll just cross fingers and see if I can snatch tickets for me and my friends tomorrow morning at the public sale.

RE extra London date, Jarmo, you're right - more likely on 17th. Just thought that stadium tours usually happen with two travelling stage sets + use of local crews, so that they can set up camp somewhere and dismantle somewhere else pretty much at the same time. But not sure it'll be the case for this tour.

For all of you wondering about Imola - I've never seen a concert there. The first event held there was in 1998 - you can see here the magnitude of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biAYd0S2V0U

Depending on layouts, health and safety and other logistical issues my guess is that it'll host anything from 90k to 150k people.

AC/DC played in front of over 90k people there in 2015, an event organised by Italian promoter Barley Arts. Apparently since then they had an exclusive 3-year deal for the use of the Autodromo as a concert venue, and this deal has now allegedly been breached by Live Nation Italia (formerly Milano Concerti) for the GN'R 2017 event. There might be some sort of legal action happening soon. I don't think there'll be a change of venue, but you never know. Claudio Trotta of Barley Arts writes about it here (in Italian): https://www.facebook.com/dtrot/posts/10154785097394595?pnref=story

Anyway, if it does happen in Imola, it's usually VERY hot. Don't rely on local public transports, and expect lower organisational standards compared to the rest of Europe, but with similar (high) prices.

FWIW, there's a company specialised in concert travel in Italy, with coaches departing from all the main Italian cities.
It looks like they are setting up service for GN'R: http://www.eventinbus.com/artisti/guns-n-roses_48.html
And I'm pretty sure there will be a link from Bologna, so you can safely fly and be based there. The way it works, coaches drop fans at the venue before the concert and pick them up at the end.

I have a discount code I had set up earlier this year for the Deep Purple tour. Not sure if it's still valid, but feel free to try - it should give 10% off any bookings: "DEEP-2016".

Good luck everyone :)

Glad it worked out for you. I had probably the same problems when I tried to join Nightrain last april. I think the problem was that I had to use the bank app on my phone and change the setting to "allow all internet purchases for the next hour" then I think it would've worked.

I'm a Swede with a Nordea Visa card. I've only had troubles paying for something on the internet twice, once with Nightrain and later on when buying a T-shirt from E-bay. I asked the bank how to solve it and they told me to try and change that setting, and it worked, I paid for the shirt.

Got my friend to join Nightrain instead and get tickets, used his code again this time for Stockholm and Copenhagen tickets.  :beer:

My experience joining Nightrain filled pages 3 and 4 of this thread http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=67223.40

Anyway, try that next time and hopefully it will work, sorry for rambling on. : ok:

Yes, probably at least two sets of steel that travel. But usually on the day before the show, the traveling crew will be setting up for the show.
Rarely would this all be done on show day....



/jarmo

Anyone any idea when the extra London show will be announced? Could it be as early as tomorrow morning if(likely a when) the first sells out within an hour?

Ended up getting a ticket for Prague as well. Slightly increased my chances of hearing "Coma" live.

See you all there!  :beer:

Already got Nijmegen and Werchter tickets and now im trying to get golden circle tickets for slane Castle but there is an error everytime I try when I try to pay by creditcard at ticketmaster Ireland. Had the same problem with San diego tickets last summer. A Guy i know in new york bought the tickets then. So when someone is buying tickets for the concert is someone willing to buy me 2 golden circle tickets. Would be amazing

Don't know why it wouldn't be a good place for a concert; lots of space, flat ground, some seats and (I believe) good connections and services as there have been many huge events there. Anyway, I don't think it's very much different from a festival ground.

And it's a very legendary place!

Just bought tickets for The Netherlands show....Golden Circle was sold out already...so if anyone bought those and is willing to trade them or sell them for their normal price I'd be happy to buy them!

tickets for golden circle belgium still available

2nd London show on 17 June on LiveNation website: http://www.livenation.co.uk/artist/guns-n-roses-tickets
>>> http://www.livenation.co.uk/show/920471/guns-n-roses-not-in-this-lifetime-tour-/london/2017-06-17/en

Got my tickets for 2nd London show, it was on the site immediately  8) :peace:

Thank you! Was struggling for any tickets on original date and got golden circle on 17th  :beer:

GOING TO NIJMEGEN  ;D

Yes, the concern is if there's too much space and you feel disconnected. Even if the place is sold out because of regulations it could feel empty. Surely it's going to be great and you can always join in with the crowd :peace:

So disappointed that there wasn't even a rumour about Tallinn, Estonia. Their festival ground is the best ever. I was there with Metallica in 2008 or 2009 or whenever it was. Fully packed and no queuing for beer or toilets and still some 80,000 people.

Did our management not know about this or did they not want us? It would've been so easy to skip Finland and go to Tallinn if you can't do both for whatever reasons.

It was a fuckin fight but i could get 2 tickets for imola  : ok: : ok: ...only 593,00 euros  :rofl:

Been a very long time since i posted here!

Got tickets for Slane, Munich and the 2nd London gig (with Aerosmith in Dublin in between those too)

For those asking about Slane, i have been to the last few gigs there.

As an actual concert, it is brilliant, sound is always great and with the hill rising the whole way from the stage, you have a great view no matter where you are.

the logistics around it however are not the best, after all the venue is in a field beside a large castle just outside a small village, so there are no proper parking facilities, the village can't accomadate the crowds, and most of the transport there is by private operators.

getting there is not too bad as everybody comes at different times, I have only ever come from a northern direction (Dundalk) and it is really easy to get too without any delays. At the last gig there, unlike previous years, if you bring your own alcohol, we werent allowed out of the bus park with it, so had to stay in the park and drink whatever we had or leave it behind.

It is a long walk from where the parking is, especially after the gig and it can be dark, but when heading the northern direction the traffic is not too bad leaving so i wouldn't let that put you off going, i have never headed south or Dublin direction after a show there so can't comment on that. I can't see this selling out so the traffic wont be as big a problem as some might think

Or they could do both since Tallin is only a few hours away from H?meenlinna :) It would be awesome actually, a very good chance for the fans in Finland and Estonia to see the band twice.

But I think crossing the sea is always too expensive or logistically challenging, the very reason why so many bands skip Finland completely time after time *cough* Pearl Jam *cough*.

Makes little sense to skip Finland altogether in favor of a smaller market....




/jarmo

Cmon the town

For anyone stuck for accommodation in Slane for the concert https://ticketstop.ie/search.php?q=Slane

Many bands/artists have done both though; Aerosmith, Metallica, Madonna... Also, a show in Tallinn attracts people from Finland too (Tallinn itself attracts lots of Finns), so the market isn't that small.

Anyway, I'm glad they didn't skip Finland :D

Is anyone interested in a ticket trade? 

I have two Nightrain Golden Circle tickets for Friday night London that I will sell for face value, if I can get two GA tickets at face value for the same show in return.
All my mates are going GA, so I'd prefer to go GA that night (don't worry, I'll be in the circle at Slaine, but GA again London Saturday)

I'm only interested in these tickets going to a real fan at cost price, not making a profit for myself.  I'm guessing no one on here would tout them which is why I'm posting here.
I'm not sure how the logistics of this will work as obviously we won't have the tickets for a while, but we can sort all that out later. 

 :beer: Going to Nijmegen

Smaller how? Tickets are apparently pretty much the same and the Tallinn venue takes in nearly double than that in Finland.

Well, not quite double but something like 80,000 v 55,000. Surely as for merc, Finns are a lot richer and can afford it but as mentioned they would go there in their numbers. There would probably be more Finns than locals.

Could possibly be the only venue in the world where there are more foreigners attending than locals :hihi:

Smaller how? Finland has a bigger population and thus a bigger market for possible ticket buyers....
It's not meant as a slight, just stating a fact.  :)




/jarmo

Going to the Stockholm show !
Golden circle was sold out last night when I bought my tickets.
Is the security loose to let a few fans jump in the arena ?  :)

Sure, something like 3x more people in Finland. However, that fact isn't quite so simple. I have been told that the ferry traffic between Helsinki and Tallinn is the busiest in the world, yes the whole world, between two capital cities.

Therefore, it's pretty much the same market and the question is where would you like to have your gig for maximum profit, if that's your goal.

Going to Wien and Paris....Tickets are pretty expensive

2017-
Slane (Golden Circle early entry)
London night one (Golden Circle early entry)
London night two (general admission)

Sorry family & friends your getting nowt for Christmas 🎄!

#Notinthislifetime 🤘🤘

Same problem for me, mobile site doesnt work. You need to use computer, then you see all the tabs. Hope you can still get them!
See you in Werchter and Nijmegen ..and hopefully also Slane! ;)

So I assume that you are coming to the show in Finland?

I'm from Portugal and i was considering going to the concert in Madrid, but i just notice that most of the tickets are sold out!
Here in Portugal, the general tickets are starting to be sold tomorow. How is it possible that in Spain they are sold out?! It's only from Nightrain members?

Yes, lots of Finns visit Tallinn. But going on a ferry trip to buy cheaper alcohol doesn't equate buying a concert ticket for a show in Tallinn....

Obviously Live Nation figured Finland made more sense....





I think most European shows went on sale this morning.




/jarmo

Shit... what are the chances of another date in Madrid?

No, I can't make that one but I'll be in Prague three days later.

Meanwhile, I'm watching football (soccer) live from Gdańsk. Pretty hard to concentrate to the game when all you think about is where's the stage going to be. Where will I stand on the pitch.

Yes, the very same stadium and tickets I have :peace:

Holland show is sold out for regular tickets!!
Hope they add a 2nd show!

I wonder will Steven Adler make an appearance in Europe next year. It's been amazing seeing him playing with the band again and the thing is... he's so good!!! He makes the whole band sound even better. All those videos popping up with him playing Illusions tracks also proves he's up for it. I know Frank is good friends with Richard and Axl and he's great but man those brief appearances by Steven  just leave me wanting more. I was pissed off when he got fired as I never got to see him play live with them but he's done it now. He deserves more than one or two songs. Please Axl, let's give Steven another chance. The guys are up there playing his songs and a lot of people want to hear the original guy.

Not sure if there's any space for that....

The Tel Aviv show is on the 15th, band, crew and gear needs to get there.....




/jarmo

No Greek show... it s a pitty..
So i ll try my last chance: Jarmo, please, make it happen  ;D

Ireland also sold out

No space in the schedule and I doubt there will be enough demand. It was not like the first London show sold out in a few seconds.

MCD just confirmed this in the last few mins, didn't think it would sell out but there ya go!

Ha just seen this now!

GUNS N' ROSES SELL OUT SLANE CASTLE 80,000 TICKETS WITHIN ONE DAY
News last updated: 11-12-2016

GUNS N’ ROSES SELL OUT SLANE CASTLE 80,000 TICKETS WITHIN ONE DAY
2017 Tour Sells 1 Million Tickets in 24 Hours

Guns N’ Roses will return to Slane Castle on Saturday 27th May 2017 (subject to licence) for a sell-out concert, 25 years after playing the venue on 16th May 1992.

"I am delighted that GnR at Slane is sold out, with fans coming to the show from all over the world re-affirming Slane as one of the world's top venues and bringing a major boost to tourism“ stated Lord Henry Mountcharles.

Guns N’Roses’ European and Canadian dates for their continued 2017 Not in This Lifetime Tour sold more than 1 million tickets in a single day, after going on sale Friday (9th December last).
And that's just the Irish, European and Canadian dates.

The Not in This Lifetime Tour has now sold more than 3 million tickets in 2016, making it the year's most successful rock tour.

/jarmo

Just one more point to this. One of the biggest Finnish bands (singing in Finnish too) of the last ten years, "Haloo Helsinki!", announced that their comeback show will be in Tallinn at Saku Suurhall. The capacity is around 10 000 and they sold out the show so quickly that they added an additional date at the same venue.

1 million tickets sold for the European and Canadian dates in 24 hrs, that's the top grossing tour of next year bagged  :)

...so they should announce and play more concerts in Europe ......they only play on a few places  :smoking:

I bought tickets,and you can see that show is almost soldout...Only1000 seats left

Europe is real market for Guns n Roses

All General admission and non premium seats tickets are sold out for the Madrid show already. They were already sold out the day they went on sale. I have a friend who bought tickets before they went on sale for the general public (American Express card holder) and she had problems finding 4 seats during the presale.

In Bilbao (the other show in Spain), 2 days ago there were "only" 3000 tickets and some VIP left.

I'm actually quite surprised. These shows are selling better than the ones that took place in Madrid and Barcelona 23 years ago when Guns were at their peak. I remember attending the show in Madrid on July 1993, and there were some empty sections (show was not full at all).

Ive been to a handful of shows in the past two decades and none were really sold out. The biggest place they played on held 10,000 people, so I thought even with Duff and Slash back in the fold, the shows were not  going to sell out. Well, it turns out they did!

Awesome news!

Last i heard "only" 18.000 tickets sold so far in the first weekend in Portugal...(60.000 are available)

Where did you hear that? 

That would be weird if it's true. Hasn't GN'R been pretty big in Portugal all this time?

It has but the wages over there are quite low. How much is the cheapest ticket? With their wages it should be like 30 euros and surely it is at least double that.

It is quite expensive- golden circle 129, GA 69. That's expensive for their economy- but then I think all the tickets are expensive for the local economies. 

a friend knows the head guy of ticketline(portugal n?1 ticket company)

I just checked Gdańsk, Poland. Nowhere near a sell out :'(

Not even the Golden Circle is out.

As some mentioned above, maybe it's the prices. I mean, they are pretty damn high for most of us. Doesn't really matter how much you want to go see a band if you simply can't afford it. Shame...

very cool to see all these GNR posters in Paris subway  : ok:

Someone tell me if they have a couple of extra Slane Castle tickets to sell me,. I need 2 more for a couple of friends...

I don't know how new a system this is and how it works but I only found out about it recently. Ticketmaster has an official 'Resale' and it gives me this message just now in Ireland:

General Admission from ?157
Golden Circle from ?239

Cheap? No. Reliable? It simply must be despite going to some sister company's website.

Got to be the prices yeah. I've really really scrimped on stuff to afford tickets- because I've been able to plan the money since the American dates, and because it's my favourite band. If I was a bit more casual I'm pretty sure I'd look at the ticket prices and walk on.....

Polish ticketmaster saying all standing in Gdansk is sold out now- still some seats left on upper level though.

http://www.ticketmaster.pl/event/guns-n-roses-tickets/1967?language=pl-pl

Interesting, so I just checked an hour too early. The system doesn't tell how many standing tickets are left so there were a few and not anymore. It is a big country after all and surely some tickets are sold all the time.

This will be great after all :beer:

Yeah- it looks to be selling pretty well really. All the best seats gone, all the standing- and I heard that the Polish crowds go mad for GNR!

They have the second best (or worst depending on your view) football (soccer) hooligans in Europe. Surely that must show in a GNR gig as well :peace:

Not sure that's a good thing! I like to hope there isn't too much crossover between GNR and football hooligans! Who has the worst reputation?!

It was some difficult to get through, but i made it with all the tickets we did want exactly  : ok:

Oh no, there shouldn't be as such but the country knows how to party with some minority wanting to fight. Surely there won't be any trouble in the gig.

Russians are the worst.

Some are worrying (?) about ticket sales in December, just before Christmas, for shows taking place in six-seven months?




/jarmo

Surely, because major bands sell out quickly (like in 15 minutes or so) in many venues and GNR doesn't seem to qualify : ok:

I guess Dublin selling out, London having a second show added and GN'R selling 45000 tickets to the show in Finland means it's all doom and gloom...
You don't think this tour is gonna be the biggest rock tour of the summer in Europe, because some shows didn't sell out in 15 minutes?




/jarmo

I mean...are you HONESTLY surprised?

Same thing happened with the US/NA leg, too.

And many of those shows ended up selling VERY well....more than made up for the very few that didn't.

Also in Wien you have only 5% of tickets available...Sweden to...Madrid soldout like Dublin and first London date...

http://www.ticktackticket.com/ has no regular tickets available for the Madrid show. Only VIP packages.

Ticketmaster Sweden has no tickets available.
Ticktmaster Denmark only has upper bowl seats.



/jarmo

Well we can not comparing demand in Europe and US...Europe is the best market for Guns n Roses...
And I'm sure all shows will be sellout...

Golden Circle is sold out in lisbon :peace: : ok:

The show in The Netherlands is pretty much sold out except for the most expensive package deals etc. But all field tickets are sold out. I think the total capacity is around 50.000

http://teamrock.com/news/2016-12-18/guns-n-roses-not-playing-download-2017-wasnt-about-money Good job too, would sooner they played their own show

That was a cool interview

I love behind the scenes things with this band.   Possibly because we never hear anything from the actual band

The above is a cool expalme of things and I think the next rock n rio will be another example.   I think they are playing it though.   That's cool

Maybe you can tell us some examples? Name some bands who have sell out 45000-80000 tickets in 15mins.
Some people finds negative things about everything...

Google finds many examples and it happens a lot. The Stone Roses are in the Guinness Book of World Records having sold 220,000 tickets in 68 minutes. Some Korean boy band sold 42,000 tickets in 1.47 seconds.

Then of course there are The Rolling Stones, Take That and whatnot with massive quick sales.

You're stupid fucker...I don't get your fuckin point...
This is great and very sucesufull tour...I don"t get it your point...

I thought this had been a pretty successful tour until you mentioned some Korean boy band  ::)

The rock tour of the year isn't enough... unless you outsell a Korean boy band... ;)


/jarmo

I think its fair to say its hard to buy tickets to an event six or seven months out because how do you plan that far ahead you never know what situations in life come up. I would hate to shell out big bucks for something god forbid I wasn't able to go to for some unforseen reason I am sure all the shows  will be sell outs as we get closer to each ones respective date.

I don't think it's a real issue...u can re-sell them in 5 minutes if needed

Exactly  ;D or when you don't have a gig in Tallinn, Estonia.

On serious note, the economy all round the world isn't in best shape right now (or have been for a some time now) and still we have, what about 4 million tickets being sold in 2016?

Exactly... I bought my flights to Imola already and my boss will find out about it maybe in April or so. Who knows with the current economic situation I could be fired before the summer?

Surely, you don't know as such what is going on in 6 or 7 months but you can't live in fear. Waiting to buy tickets later doesn't help or change anything.

I was checking some of the ticket sites for the shows and seems like multiple shows only have upper bowl seats left out of the regular tickets that were put on sale.




/jarmo

I get that point, I suppose.  I'm just not sure what, other than some sort of medical malady, would really prevent you from going.

I had to buy my NITL seats months in advance, as we all did here in the US and A.  And the bottom line was that just about nothing on this earth was going to keep me from being anywhere but Lincon Financial Field on 7/14/16.  I just couldn't think of anything that someone could come up with where I'd even consider it a serious conflict.

I get this.

I find it very hard to plan for something, so far ahead of time.   I do it all the time however (but it feels very, very strange)

It seems to be the new norm for concerts though to book the venues 10 months ahead of time.  Slam the local market with over the top advertising.  Sell as many tickets upfront as possible, then leave it up to the ticket buyer to figure out going. 

In fairness, I'm also a single guy.  The only person I have to check with is me.

I'm not blind to the fact that if I had a wife and 3 kids, things might be a wee bit different.

MERRY FUCKIN' CHRISTMAS :peace:

The Italians delivered my ticket to my door via UPS. This is real. This is happening :smoking:

You're going to love it.  Was an awesome show.

Mine just arrived too!

I've booked a ludicrous trip for this, to two different countries- currently single and unemployed (living the dream right there!). If I get a job by then, will be interesting to see what they make of it- but fuck it. I'd walk out on a job if they stopped me seeing this tour. It's just too damn important to me. Every single person I've mentioned it too thinks I'm nuts, and don't get it at all, but it means a hell of a lot seeing this tour.

I'm just a normal guy. Sometimes some friends ask how do you get to travel so much? Well, firstly it can be done cheaply and the second point is way more important.

Those same people spend all their money locally going to expensive night clubs, taking cabs everywhere etc. Then they wake up with a massive hangover on Sunday and no idea where the money was spent.

That's all good but just leave out those weekends every now and then and go do the same abroad. It really is that simple.

Anything on who might be the support band/s for the European Tour?? I know its still a while away, just wondering if there are any rumours to who it might be.

Just got my tickets for Wienna show...Can't wait...
As we can see on ticketmaster .at,show is almost sellout...

Multiple shows now have only VIP packages available.

Madrid, Dublin, London #1, Copenhagen, Stockholm....




/jarmo

 : ok: :peace:

Are the tickets souvenir ones, or just generic looking ones?

Most people print them at home nowadays or use their smartphones. I accidentally got one delivered for a fair price of 40 Euros and at least it looks cool :D

I think that depends on the show.

I've seen photos of both on social media.



/jarmo

I hope the second London show doesn't sell out any time soon.  It's the only show my brother and I can realistically get to, but we're both fuckin' poor right now  :hihi:  Just hope the sales hold off long enough for me to get some money.

A very special friend got me a GA ticket for the Madrid show. She tried to purchase it on Ticketmaster or authorised points of sale but they are all sold out. She purchased it through Viagogo.

In Madrid, only VIP tickets are available. It will be packed.

Last time GNR played "Vicente Calderon" stadium was in July 1993. I was there (I was 17!!!). I may have a larger-than-life story to share this time round, but I rather wait till the day of the show to share it with you!

I just hope all the fans have learned to smudge that precious barcode on the ticket.

Greetings from Prague. I was so hoping to see some advertising but there was none. Linkin Park are playing the same venue a few weeks earlier and they had advertising.

But we don't need any, everyone knows it's happening anyway :beer:

Not sure about the different venues in Europe, but if the show's sold-out already there probably won't be much advertisement.

That's what I was thinking but it'd be cool to see some and create even more vibe and hype.

It's not a sold-out, there were even gc tickets available the last time I checked.  :-\ How big is the venue? I haven't been there before.

It's at an airport. So there's probably a lot of open space for rock fans.



/jarmo

It is an airport so they probably don't sell out too quickly despite there being a lot of people. Surely they must have some absolute maximum allowed but I wouldn't be too worried if it's not officially sold out.

Just saw on facebook,Both London shows are soldour...Can we except third show?

I don't think the band does three nights in a row. So it seems unlikely:

June 13th: München, Germany @ Olympiastadion

June 14th: Transport gear to London (13 hours without breaks)
June 15th: Load in London
June 16th: London, UK @ London Stadium, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
June 17th: London, UK @ London Stadium, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

June 18th: Transport gear to Gdansk (18 hours without breaks)
June 19th: Load in Gdansk
June 20th: Gdańsk, Poland @ Stadion Energa Gdańsk



/jarmo

 Wow, the Road Crew works really hard!

Truer words have never been spoken.

;)

Both London shows sold out..wow. Just shows what a ludicris decision it was to play just one place in England. Manchester gigs have always been great as with most the other cities. I know all Uk fans have found this odd. Not just me!

I have a feeling there will be a "round 2".

It's not that odd when you look at the entire tour. One date in pretty much all major European countries.

Nice to see the Danish show is sold out as well. : ok:

Hello

Can any of the Parisian gunners help me?  My wife and I are heading over to Paris from the UK to catch the show, can anyone recommend a good area to get a hotel?

We want to be central-ish as we will stay a couple of extra days to do some tourist things after?

Any help most appreciated.

Matt

Paris is full of good areas for touristy stuff, but it really depends what your budget is. Maybe Chatelet les Halles? Central and not the most expensive (but not cheap either).

Thanks Pandora, i'll look into there.

We are not necessarily looking for cheap - probably mid range..

many thanks  :beer:

I have a very good souvenir of H?tel du Petit Moulin in le Marais, every room was decorated by Christian Lacroix and it's quite surprising.

I think it's around 200-400$  the night, depending on the rooms.

you can check infos and photos here : (in french) https://www.expedia.fr/Paris-Hotel-Hotel-Du-Petit-Moulin.h1314926.Description-Hotel

I managed to get tickets with fellow friends for the Wrechter show. Anyone around here going to this one? Perhaps we can meet for a beer or two?

Both pit and regular standing still available for this one. Past Werchter Classic shows have had a full supporting bill.....

Indeed. That's why I took tickets for that show. A bit delayed for the others, unfortunately. We are coming from Bulgaria so we needed to save cash. Tickets, flights etc. Anyways, we do have them and I'm sure we'll have a blast.

Have a look at past years- they get some pretty big names apart from the main act. If it's the same- it should be great. Is that the nearest they're coming to Bulgaria?

I'm not sure that Guns will be part of the festival or they'll just use the stage and place. Otherwise, it's not the nearest place. We were planning Netherlands, Portugal UK or the Czech Republic. Tickets are selling quickly, so Belgium it is. The flights are quite cheap though. :D

Werchter, Belgium will be great

cu there   :love:

I think a new song on the European tour would be fantastic

https://www.gnrfinland.fi/uutiset/2017/3/10/myytyj-lippuja-jo-yli-50-000

In short, for the show in H?meenlinna, Finland, the promoter says they've sold over 50,000 tickets so far. Biggest concert of the summer in Finland.



/jarmo

First "opening acts" announced.

It's the one day TW Classic in Belgium: http://www.twclassic.be/en/line-up


GUNS N' ROSES: 21:10-00:10
The Pretenders: 19:05-20:15
Wolfmother: 17:20-18:25
Channel Zero: 15:40-16:40
Fleddy Melculy: 14:15-15:00




/jarmo

The Pretenders, very cool!

Not bad for a country with a population of 5 million people.

50,000 makes that 1% of the population has a ticket to see GN'R play.

Is it the old 80's "The Pretenders"? With the female singer?

Yeah. I wouldn't expect them to do the full tour though- Werchter Classic has always been more of a 'festival' than a gig. (Have a look at the truly bizarre list of acts they put together last year!)

Wolfmother though? I'd say if they are over here at that time, they could well be the support for this leg of the tour too, Personally, I'd rather they weren't as I don't like them at all, but I understand they're pretty popular.

They do have shows booked in Europe during the summer. Interestingly enough, they have space in their schedule for the Dutch show:

Jul 09   Bospop   Weert, Netherlands       
Jul 13   Paard van Troje   The Hague, Netherlands

The GN'R show in Nijmegen is on the 12th.

But not space for the other European shows? That's interesting. I'm out of guesses though as to who the support will be really. I guess summer must be (fairly) difficult to get a support band as bands get tied up in the trudge around all the festivals pretty early on.

Yes they do have openings in their tour schedule according to their site.
The only date where their shows might collide with GN'R would maybe be the fact that they are playing festivals in Germany and GN'R has a show in Hannover, Germany around the same time.

Keeping in mind that they've already opened for GN'R, and their summer tour schedule, they do look like a possible opening act for some shows.

Certainly looks like way. Personally a bit disappointed by that- but I think lots of people will be into it.

What? lol

My favourite pick for an opener for the european shows is actually a Finish Band called Santa Cruz. i think they are the best thing out there since gnr when it comes to classic rock and amazing guitar playing. Maybe Jarmo knows who they are, but they def would kick some ass opening for gnr, which happens to be their favourite band. id post some videos but I'm at work now, maybe later tonight. :beer:

Not my kind, but anyways.. Here's the Aiming High video:

Thanks Voodochild!


Aiming High is actually one of my fav and riff is pretty much like night rain in A minor.

But their latest record sounds more like Guns in Chinese. Like these two songs! I really like them and they fit so well with gnr its crazy.

Oh hell no.
 ;D :peace:

why all the hate!? they're amazing players, both those guys play at the level bucket head and bumble foot play, they have great songs and they re really young. i think a concert like guns can show u bands you love but also a smaller spot for younger bands starting out and these guys have the chops!

I tried man. Really tried. Sorry :(

Kind of a glammy Children of Bodom. :P

Wasted & Wounded is probably my favorite of the 3 tracks you and Voodoo posted. Makes me think of the poppier Peter Tagtgren moments.

60 days until the tour starts.

Holy shit, Mark Lanegan!  :beer:

Never thought I'd see that one!


/jarmo

^^ me neither!!  :peace:

Well.....


I wouldn't have predicted many of those!

The Kills? Mark Lanegan?! I'm amazed. Not sure how they'll go down really, but interesting choices for sure!

Thank fuck I'm not going to see a show with The Darkness supporting! Absolutely awful joke of a band!

Mark Lanegan and Killing Joke  : ok:

I'm glad that The Darkness is opening one of my shows, joke of a band sure but it's a good joke and the first two records are pretty solid! Backyard Babies was not much of a surprise, haven't seen them for almost ten years so that'll be a good show. Haven't really listened to Buffy Clyro.

I'll take that!

Fortunately...that's what I'm getting! YES!

SO SO glad I didn't get Royal Blood or The Darkness!

Luck of the draw on this one!

Haha.
I got The Darkness and Monroe.
Atleast Monroe should be cool.

I know absolutely nothing about Michael Monroe- good then?

Its allright. Seen him a few times, musicly a bit too glam rock for me, but he puts in a good show and has a good band.

I would have gladly traded the darkness for the kills or Taylor Bryant at Wembley. Quite disappointed In the support act considering how much the tickets were

Tickets for Bangkok were much more expensive than for the Finnish show and there was no opening act in Bangkok.

That said id rather wait a shorter time for GNR to play than wait for hours looking at not so good bands.

Tyler Bryant isn't bad live. I enjoyed him in the past- you'll probably enjoy it. Got to be better to watch an up and coming act full of energy than a fool in a jumpsuit with a beer belly and a moustache being 'ironic' right?

I'm surprised by Biffy Clyro- they're headlining Download in the UK- thought they were far too big to be supporting anyone now, although I have noticed they are supporting the Foo Fighters too.....

I skipped the opening act entirely back in July.  Think there were 2.

I had drinks in the lounge.  It was a 100 fucking degrees that night, literally.  I wasn't interested in seeing anyone by GNR in those condidions.

Glad to see there are different openers in London and Nijmegen.

Haven't seen any of these bands/artists before so I hope I'll be suprised.

The dude's a legend, he's badass, glam as fuck but awesome.
Also, he got his history with GN'R (Axl appearing in his video clip, he's playing harp on Bad Obsession, co singing Ain't It Fun and lot's of guest appearing live with GN'R, Slash & Duff)

I'll check him out. What's the best place to start?

Probably Hanoi Rocks?
