here's what he said:

I had a conversation with a big brazilian promoter last night in a Copacabana bar,and he said me 2 things..
There are three big sponsors almost confirming 4 big stadium concerts in Brazil.The concerts will be placed in Rio de Janeiro (Maracan? Stadium),S?o Paulo (Morumbi Stadium),Belo Horizonte (Mineir?o stadium) and Porto Alegre (Beira Rio Stadium).
The other thing is that the band will probably going to play in Argentina and Chile,but it's still not confirmed.
Good news for us south americans.

Maracana = 100.000 people.
Morumbi = 80.000 people.
Mineirao = like 90.000 people (not sure).
Beira Rio = like... 60.000+ people.

not sure about stadium capacity nowadays.  Voodoo can confirm that.

I am pretty sure that we will see GnR in latin america this year. And if is a stadium tour the more awesome it is! Let`s see; we had almost confirmed concerts already a couple of months ago

[god of thunder]

Even I like the idea, it is pretty hard to believe that they can actually sell out these stadiums!??! However Brazil loves GnR!!

Beira Rio Stadium, Porto Alegre; capacity about 56000 + for football matches


Maracana Stadium, Rio de Janeiro; Botafogo; capacity about 100.000 for football matches (concerts up to 180.000!!!!!!!!!)


Morumbi Stadium, Sao Paolo; Morumbi; capacity about 75.000 for football matches


Minerao Stadium, Belo Horizonte; capacity about 72.000 for football matches

Maybe they are thinking CD is that good it will pack out the stadiums!

[randy marsh]

wow 180 000.. that would be really cool to see? the biggest show I've attended is Metallica @ Tallinn, Estonia last summer with 80 000 people and that was already amazing to experience  (btw I was in the second row )

[Axlfreek]

I wonder how good those seats will sell 

[Pinball Wizard]

I don't know if a brazilian stadium tour would sell out, but I have no doubt that it will have a very good number of tickets sold.

But maybe it would sell out, depends of who are those 3 big sponsors the guy talked about...maybe Skol(beer), Terra(website) and Oi(Telephone company)? I don't know...

what`s up with CD??

[badapple81]

Wow! If this is true then it is amazing.

It is amazing how GN'R are playing huge arenas in Australia and selling them out. Two shows at Acer Arena in Sydney! Some other unnamed band I know, that I went to see a couple of years back now couldn't sell out two nights at the old Hordern Pavillian building - 5000 capacity 

[Loaded NightraiN]

If CD comes out, i'm sure they'll come damn close to selling out... Thats IF they dot of course!

[agropolus]

Wow, that "Morumbi" stadium looks awesome, lol, just kidding

I'm pretty sure the shows will sell out even if they are stadium shows, maybe not all of them but Rio and S?o Paulo are very likely to sell out

[Voodoochild]

I dunno about the credibility in this one. Yeah, we all know we'll have a Brazilian tour at some point and that it will be in stadiums, nothing really new. But this guy forgot about the Amazonia gig, which I think it's something Axl really wanted to do.

But maybe it would sell out, depends of who are those 3 big sponsors the guy talked about...maybe Skol(beer), Terra(website) and Oi(Telephone company)? I don't know...

Oi? I don't think so, this kind of shit has a lot more support from Tim or Claro.

He said he will tell us information about the tour WITH the album.

[Grouse]

They'd better get some promotion going if they want to sell out those stadiums...

[rubinho.ma]

There's only one way to sell out all of those shows: a powerful single on the biggest radios, one that could instantly gather thousands and thousands of new fans. And maybe some good promo on tv too... ...if there will be a single rolling.

[Chief]

Nice, this is potentially great news.. i hope all of these shows get booked!

[welshrose]

They should play Manaus in Brasil like the White Stripes did for that MTV special.

There is an opera house in the middle of the Amazon Jungle that was simply the coolest venue I have ever seen.


The Bogota shows were incredible in 1992, they should definitely go back.

for me you're talkin ballshit

you are not insider,you just talking stupid things

[estebanf]

That would be awesome, Brazil has the biggest (''o mais grande do mundo''  ) and most beautiful stadiums in the world. I would LOVE to attend to a GNR show at the Mineirao or the mythical Maracan?.

About Argentina, after attending to the Quilmes Rock Festival 2 weeks ago, I know FOR SURE that Guns N' Roses can (and will do it, if they choose that venue) sell out the River Plate Stadium (60.000). If the band drops a blockbuster rocking single BEFORE the southamerican leg of the tour, they should consider doing two dates.

Damn, I can imagine myself drinking several Caipirinhas in Rio, surrounded by beautiful female cariocas gunners, before attending the best show of my life 

[ibelieveinaxl]

can they fill these places?
