They are headlining the final day

[Evolution]

It's my birthday on the 12th. It's amazing to think i'll turn 18 as my favourite band play 

[Alan]

can't fucking wait for this

[lynn1961]

You think they will really be there?  You think Axl will do it, without cancelling beforehand?  We'll see.......     

[iloozion]

i really wanna go to this - never seen GNR before, had a couple of near misses with the cancelled london shows! - but i'm really not interested in seeing metallica or anyone else on the download bill so ?115 for a ticket seems a bit much and i can't really afford that.  just really hope they put on some other individual UK shows and i don't miss another chance to see them just cos i don't wanna pay to go to Download!

metallica on 10, gnr on 11?

day tickets will be on sale at some point for around ?70-?80 i am in same boat as you only really want to see GNR and Prodigy

[blaqktiger]

They are not certain about day tickets.

So i'm gonna buy A weekend ticket and just go on the Sunday. So what if I lose money.. it's GN'R!!!

[Brundle25]

Two best things in my Life? F1 and Guns n' Roses. What date is Donnington? Thats right....the same weekend as the British Grand Prix, which, incidentally I already have paid for a granstand weekend seat.................Absolutey gutted

Easyjet and a european destination are my only hope if download is the only UK date. Would have done dublin, but is on the friday before. What bad luck.....

[November Pain]

I too would of loved to of seen them. But it's right in the middle of my GCSE'S. Cant belive it! :crying:But i have faith that they'll do a UK tour. Anyway i'd rather go to somewhere like Sheffield cos atleast you'll be able to see them. At download it's gonna be crazy.

GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose has commented on the band's upcoming appearance at the Download 2006 festival, set to take place June 9-11 at Donington Park in England.

The band will join the already announced METALLICA at the top of the bill for the summer event, which will provide the only U.K. shows for the two groups.

GUNS N' ROSES will take to the stage on the Sunday (June 11), while METALLICA will play the previous night.

The last time Axl Rose and co. graced Donington was in 1988, where they played in front of over 100,000 fans following the release of their seminal album "Appetite for Destruction".

According to NME.com, Rose said of the appearance: "The U.K. and Europe have always been special for me. After our last great shows there, we are all very excited and looking forward to getting back over there and in front of such great audiences."

He added: "Donington has always meant a lot to me personally, way before I ever played there. To be asked to headline is for me an honour and a privilege that none of us take for granted. We look forward to seeing all of you at Download!"

GUNS N' ROSES are expected to showcase new songs from their long-awaited "Chinese Democracy" album, which has been over ten years in the making.

As well as the two confirmed headliners, the bill for Download 2006 now includes KORN, THE PRODIGY, DEFTONES, CLUTCH, TRIVIUM, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, LUCUNA COIL, INME, HATEBREED and WITHIN TEMPTATION.

In the middle of GCSE's?

I wonder if it clashes with my exams...

To be honest, I don't care. 

[Decadence]

I would like a day ticket too but I'm not gonna take the risk of it selling out so looks like I'm gonna be spending a weekend in a field with a load of dirty metallers  

That's providing I get the time off work.  Do you think prospective employers would be understanding if under 'why did you quit your last job?' I put 'To see GnR, of course!'? 

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

when do the day tickets usually go on sale.whats the chance of getting one when they do go on sale.

[Nightfall]

Two Guns N' Roses shows for me this summer, heaven!

[anythinggoes]

im in a dilema i dont want to buy a festival ticket just in case GNR announce another show on the FRI or SAT but i dont want to risk not getting a day ticket oh what the fuck to do. what are the possibilities of another UK show being announced ??

EDIT wanker just worked  out they are doing Dublin on the Fri

Aye, I'm in the same boat as you.  I think I'm going to end up buying weekend tickets but I'll be gutted if they do announce another date in the UK.  I'm not overly keen on the rest of Download's lineup so ?135 just for a ticket is pricy even for GnR!  I will pay it, but if they'd have released the day tickets or GnR announced another UK date, I'd go for either of those options instead.
