Hi guys!

Stumbled upon this piece of information this morning. http://dagbladet.se/kulturnoje/nyheter/1.1718980

Apparently, G n' R were preliminary booked for a concert at Norrporten Arena in Sundsvall, Sweden for the 9th of June but the promoter backed out of it due to Gn'R:s "high rate of cancelled gigs".

Another interesting piece of information for the Swedes is that GnR, according to the guy in the article named G?ran Melin, "had been looking to play a concert north of Stockholm." (roughly translated) Thus, it seems as 1. they might play Sweden this summer. 2. they might play more than one date in Sweden (few bands only stop for a concert in the north...).

I do not have time to translate the whole piece but the Swedes in here can perhaps verify that the source is correct.

Anyway, long time since I've posted something (and first time under this nick apparently). Felt like about time. Smiley

"High rate" means 2 or 3 shows out of 30+ since 2006. Yeah, thats reasonable. Roll Eyes

I think we've learned recently that we can't really trust what promoters say.  However, most of the rumors lately have had an inkling of truth to them so Europe in the summer looks a little more likely.  US in the fall???

Lou, could Guns draw enough to play a place like this in the UK?  Emirates Stadium, 60,000 capacity.

I'm ashamed of living in Sweden, I feel like vomiting, slash( no pun intended) my wrists and put myself on fire no

Oh, and everytime I try to comment in a positive way about GNR and try to speak the truth when commenting shitty articles in the Swedish press, they always delete my posts and let the negative and pro- Slash ones stay up. I fuckin hate it!!!

Just cause one booking agency says no, doesn't mean they won't play in Sweden at all.

I hope they come play the Peace & love-festival then. Great festival, a little bit north of Stockholm. In fact the largest festival in Sweden last year. Always o good vibe there and good band in recent years. M?tley, Iggy, Pistols, Hanoi, Alice....etc. beer

Crap! But I'm guessing Globen has already been booked then?

Otherwise I'll go see them in Copenhagen or Oslo. Hopefully they'll come to Roskilde again, that'd be awesome!

I remember something like this happened in Norway back in 2006. Quartfestival were in talks with GnR, but Quart meant Gnr was too expensive, so the deal went down. That happened to be a good thing, because GnR played 2 great shows in Oslo Spectrum instead! Better then a festival show..

Why would they have "lengthy negotiations" (quote from the article) if they think it's too big a risk to book them?  Huh
