GN'R to play Paris, France

[Jessica]

i heard about a show in Paris but at Bercy "arena"

It would be MUCH better for a comeback than le Zenith. More talkative. GN'R already played at "Paris-Bercy" in July 1993. Axl knows that place. It's a 15.000/17.000 seats capacity arena. The band would pack it without a doubt. It would be sold out.

you are delusional.

I have asked around for a few years, but most people who loved GNR then now have families and can't go out " just like that" ( work, baby sitters, moved away)

It's best to start with a smaller venue and come back later in the year if necessary rather than PAY a FORTUNE for bercy, the TRUCKS, the LIGHTS/SOUNDEQUIPMENT/INSTRUMENTS/CASINGS, the CATERING ( food hotels bla bla bla), SALARIES, KEROSEN and you name it for one night that wouldn't be packed ( only an opinion)

Since what they are planning is a festival tour, it would be surprising to see them headlining an indoor concert, with who as an opening act ?
Remember the new line up is virtually unknown here.And Axl Rose isn't "Axl Rose" like in the US, I it sounds like he's a hard rock singer among other hard rock singers. That's how Slash was introduced recently on a mainstream radio.

Furthermore, even on a regular tour, I don't think they would pack Bercy. I'd rather see them in le Z?nith anyway.

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

nah they need to play at Le Bataclan real small hardcore 1987' like venues   1,000 perso max

[Will]

Yeah Le Bataclan rules!

I highly doubt they will play Paris, especially not in an arena such as Bercy (which is kinda like the MSG in NYC). If they come here they will play at a festival I guess, but I just think they will "skip" France like in 2002.

[Jessica]

we have festivals too in france !!!!!!!!!!! 

[nesquick]

does "les Eurockeennes de la Rochelle" still exist?
and what about "Sol en Si"?
I think they are big festicals...80.000 people +

[Jessica]

the only summer festival ( early july) is SOLIDAYS ( fighting aids ), it lasts 3 days in LONGCHAMPS race track ( west paris, not far from tennis court Roland Garos)

Corrs did it, robbie williams did it, even Iggy Pop did it so why not Axl, huuuummm ?

[Pandora]

does "les Eurockeennes de la Rochelle" still exist?

Les Eurock?ennes is held in Belfort, not La Rochelle (quite the other end of the country  ). And it takes place in early July, so that's probably a bit too late.

As mentioned in the GN'R on tour section, the band will play at the Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy (POPB) on June 20th 

[zombux]

whoa this is getting really BIG

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

so it's done

Paris, June 20th, P.O.P.Bercy, arena ....

[Wooody]

Oh yeh for Americans...

Paris, France is not a place in America. It is a place in Western Europe which is not the same continent as America.?

LOL - No wonder everyone likes the French.



(not that I wholly disagree with your statement though )

bah, everybody hates the americans as well, and the reason why the americans and the french hate eachother is because they see themselves in the mirror while looking at eachother.

Ps: Im neither french nor from the US, so leave me out of this ?

if the price is right I may go down to paris after Belgium.....

[Wooody]

And Axl Rose isn't "Axl Rose" like in the US, I it sounds like he's a hard rock singer among other hard rock singers.

I don't think so.

[Voodoochild]

As mentioned in the GN'R on tour section, the band will play at the Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy (POPB) on June 20th 

So, is it confirmed?

the arena and onlineticket sellers list it.

then again, NO date have been firmly comfirmed by the BAND.

[nesquick]

love you all ?

[badapple81]

What kind of venue is this? Is this just GN'R or a festival?

[Pingouirose]

Just GNR

[Pandora]

For now it's only listed on the Ticketnet website, but they're reliable so the tickets should be on sale soon.

like i posted on SP1at-they aint fuckin around this time-2002 (even in Europe) was a very limited list of gigs-this time around it seems more akin to booking a genuine world tour. how long till Dublin ?
