FALSE: GN'R playing in Germany Juli 2016

[jarmo]

Regarding the rumor itself, Billboard claims there's supposed to be a summer tour in the USA. These two rumors don't exactly contradict each other, but it's a bit puzzling.

If we use AC/DC as a template. They kicked off last year's tour in Coachella in April, then stadium dates:

May 5 – July 25: Europe
Aug 22 – Sep 28: North America


Going with the rumor that is out there, it seems like GNR's North American leg (25 dates) will be longer than the European one, so the other way around compared to AC/DC.

Their European tour was more than 25 shows, so it's comparable to a 25 date tour. Time wise. But then they had time off during the tour so it can be condensed....
Their North American leg had way less shows.

Also, if you do tours on both sides of the Atlantic, there needs to be a few weeks of time between each leg. As you see above.

I fully agree with you Jarmo.

There need to be a time gap between those legs. If you take a look on the UYI tour they always had gaps when different parts of the world were played. Only in late 1993 the gap between the last european dates and Argentina was pretty small.

Back to the possible german date:
I think that the possible July 15 date could be a good option since the UEFA European Championship ends on July 10 and other huge events are not taking place during the vacation period. Maybe a smart move to do that one show in Europe.
Who knows?

July would tie in with the British summer time festival at Hyde park that's been mentioned.

Admins from the German GnR forum have source, and theyve been right about everything that theyve announced in the past, like rock am ring 06 or the show in 12.
So inwouldnt worry about the promoter declining this. Itll happen

What sources should that be?
Why exactly admins from a german forum?
Tell us more please. 

no sources. Admins from the german forum were right about everything they've announced in the past. that's all.

 Somebody has to be their source. I don?t think they have a crystal ball nor I think the adminis can read Axl?s mind to get the information.

Of cource somebody is their source. But they didn't name it...

I dont know who their source is and they wont tell.. Of course not
My guess is that its someome who has insights into the organization of german shows. I remember some guy who was i think in the crew of planmers for rock am ring or so. And he announced their appearance in 06 before the off. Announcment

Ok, you trust to them because of your good experience in the past. I see and hope you're right.

Any news about this show?

[Thorned Rose]

well hopefully it doesn't happen...

I don't want it fucking with a 25 date North Am. Tour

[Spirit]

Not happening apparently.

[D-GenerationX]

Its seemed like a logistical longshot, if the other rumors about the 25 city U.S. tour was to be believed.

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

Any news about this show?

I posted a link in the tour thread. The venue confirmed its not happening this year. Womder what went wrong

I would say nothing went wrong... If there is a summer US Stadium tour, then all of these festivals in Europe for the summer are long shots. A one off or two during several days in a row off are one thing, but the rumor mill had them headlining almost every major Euro festival.

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

That wasnt going to be a festival though.

[C0ma]

That wasnt going to be a festival though.

All the more reason why it wouldn't happen... they aren't going to be shipping stage setups back and forth across the Atlantic.

Edited to sarcastically add: The pending AC/DC dates really kill the down time between the April Shows and the speculated Summer US dates.
