It basically says GN'R will be headlining a big rock festival in Finland this summer!

[kupirock]

Hell yeah

[axe]

And although they don't actually officially announce it, it looks to be a sure thing. The promoter even has quotes saying about the costs and not fearing Axl's no-shows and all that.

[Axlative]

Let's hope it happens.

Regardless of the comments in the story, I find the location a little peculiar. And am a little surprised the city has issued permits to have it where I think it's gonna happen. Well, maybe they've carefully considered the suitable max size of the crowd. Beats me...

Let's see if this works... I'm thinking it's the two distinct gravel pitches in the picture. The stage being in the diamond shaped one perhaps?

Ei saatana ole totta! 

If this is true, then I'm definitely gonna be there!

In that article it says that it isn't confirmed yet, and they've been negotiating for a while. But the full program of the festival should be released in one week, so I guess we'll see then.

The promoter also says that GnR's tourschedule isn't ready for the summer.

Let's hope for the best, kippis! 

[tukse]

I hope this is true.. fingers crossed.. It would be my first GNR concert. 

[jamesdm]

GNR was there before so is possible.

Oooh! 

How much are tickets for this festival usually?

[axe]

Oooh! 

How much are tickets for this festival usually?

It will be held for the first time ever. But since it's Finland, it will be expensive.

Ah right, I thought it was a regular thing, rather than something new

[alimari]

Hope it really happens! This is supposed to be a world tour, isn't it?

Same here! Depending on the price, I could be tempted to go to this one

Even if I can't afford it, the fact that GN'R are playing in Finland means they're getting closer to the UK

it looks good kinda funny that we've heard from 3 conutries from europe right? and they were sweden, finland and norway

Maybe they're planning a Nordic tour.. 

[Ulises]

I guess IS OBVIOUS that Guns N' Roses will be touring Europe in summer time.

Good to see some european dates are coming...

[superstarmc]

Didn't they sell out all thier shows in Finland, norway and Sweden last tour?

[Spirit]

Didn't they sell out all thier shows in Finland, norway and Sweden last tour?

Yeah, pretty much.

They sold out both shows in Finland and the show in Sweden. In Norway they sold out the first show, don't know the attendance for the second, but I would guess pretty good since the first one sold out in less than 20 min.

Denmark had a festival date.

[kaasupoltin]

Pretty exciting news.. but I won't say anything before it's announced officially. But it's great to hear someone's really trying to get the band play here If that's the location for the festival, it's going to be pretty early curfew..

i might have heard an Italian rumour recently as well altho that doesn't sound as strong as this one.
