July 12 - Istanbul @ Kurucesme Arena

[Christos AG]

Ok, I don't speak any Turkish but does it say on this page that GN'R will play on the 12 of July in Istanbul, Turkey?

Edit: Press release

[sic.]

Looks like a page where registered users can leave comments. Hard to say if the GNR date is confirmed. There's even a link to your site 

"10 temmuz yunanistan konserinin resmiyetle a?ıklanmasından sonra ger?ekleşme ihtimalinin kat kat arttığı konser..

Yeah I saw that, that is actually how I found it...

temmuz seems to mean July, so since you can see "12 temmuz 2006 guns n roses istanbul konseri" I guess it meant that GN'R will appear in Istanbul...

It kinda makes sense since it's close to Athens...

The other cancelled Stones gig... It's actually quite feasible.

Has the Greece gig been officially confirmed yet?

[Ganzo]

 I am from Turkey!so I can speak

But yes "only leave comments page"... :crying:I will post if I can find any news!!

btw:Athens and Istanbul 1993 shows were great...I was there...

[Ganzo]

Yes true! !!I still cant believe...I read kurucesme arena(Istanbul/Besiktas)but I am not sure...stadium or another thing I dont care I can go everywhere to watch them

[Calcy]

It's good to see the band isn't just taking the cancellations as a way to get extra time off, and getting extra dates in countries that weren't on the itinery before.
Great for Turkey, great country. And if the crowds anything like the footy fans, they'll go wild!!

LOL at this press release:

Press Release
THE RETURN OF GUNS N' ROSES

Phenomenal rock giants Guns N' Roses, one of the greatest bands of all time, have been confirmed as the headliner for Istanbul at Kurucesme Arena at July 12 , 2006.

Guns N' Roses' performances over the past decade have been an extreme rarity and Rock Istanbul Org./Supernova Concerts by arrangement with John Jackson at K2 Agency can confirm they will be exclusively providing the only Turkish show by Guns N' Roses in 2006. With this confirmation and the forthcoming release of Guns N' Roses' long-awaited new album, this certainly promises to be a great year for GN'R and their devoted fans.

Guns N' Roses' vocalist Axl Rose said, "The UK 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. It is for me an honour and a privilege that none of us take for granted. We look forward to seeing all of you this summer!"
