September 21, 2011 11:25 AM ET DJ Ashba and Axl Rose perform with Guns N' Roses at the O2 Arena in London.Neil Lupin/RedfernsGuns N' Roses have announced more cities for their upcoming U.S. tour. Only seven of the 21 shows have announced venues and dates at this point, but they appear to have at least put the shows in order ? so it's not that hard to figure out roughly when they're coming to town. The U.S. tour kicks off October 28th in Orlando, Florida and ends up in Denver (probably sometime in mid-December), though a press release promises that more "dates, cites and venue information" will be announced soon.

It's also pretty easy to determine what venue they'll hit with the information they have provided. When they come to East Rutherford, New Jersey, it's far more likely they'll hit the Izod Center than the New Meadowlands Stadium or the harness racing track. The same goes for Worcester, Massachusetts. They might play at the parking lot of a Burger King, but more likely it's the DCU Center.

If these Guns N' Roses gigs are anything like their shows throughout the past decade, expect lots of songs from Appetite For Destruction and Chinese Democracy and relatively few from the Use Your Illusion albums. Also, expect the band to take the stage comically late with no one onstage named Slash, Duff or Izzy. You will get a Bumblefoot, a Dizzy and a former member of the Replacements, though.

Here's the current tour itinerary.:

10/28 Orlando, FL  @ Amway Center Arena

10/29 Miami, FL @ American Airlines Arena

10/31 Greenville, SC @ Bi-Lo Center Arena

11/2 Atlanta, GA @ Phillips Arena

Houston, TX

11/5 Dallas, TX @ Gexa Energy Pavillion

Omaha, NE

Tulsa, OK

11/12 Kansas City, MO @ Sprint Center Arena

11/13 Minneapolis, MN @ Target Center Arena

Chicago, IL @ All State Arena

East Rutherford, NJ

Hartford, CT

Wilkes-Barre, PA

Worcester, MA

Camden, NJ

Detroit, MI

Cincinnati, OH

Nashville, TN

Indianapolis, IN

Is there a topic about meeting up at certain gigs yet?  If not, who here is going to the Houston show whenever that will be?  I'll be there early and hanging out all day hopefully with some of you from here.

I assume cali dates will be the last shows of the tour just like in 06 

[GNR4L]

I'm so excited ! can't wait to see the west coast dates.  That's pretty cool Monster is the sponsor.

[Chief]

This is great news for sure!!!

Yea, going to see GN'R is good times. Kind of cool them finishing the tour in L.A. (I presume). I am thinking my 8 year old is old enough to go. Really hoping for some new songs off a new album that will hopefully be coming soon. Regardless, good fucking times ahead. Pretty pretty pretty good.

[GunnerOne 84]

Are there any rumors of a DC/Baltimore date yet?

[D]

Holy Shit, I may get to see them 3 times

Atlanta and Nashville for sure.. maybe even Cincy if its on a weekend.

I say bring the 8 year old! I took my brother with me both times I saw them in 2006, and he was 12-13 at the time and loved the shows. (and freaked out people once they realized how young he was) I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the California dates to be announced, though!

[Bandita]

This is great!  I will definitely hit one of the NJ shows!!!

[GnR-NOW]

What arena is in Camden, NJ ? Hopefully we get the dates soon ! Very exciting !!

It is the Susquehanna Bank Center.  I was just there for Motley Crue.  It's fine once you get into the venue but you have to drive through Camden which is just about the murder capital of the US to get to the place.

[Walapino]

Awesome news! 

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

It would be cool if we get one date for DC or Baltimore.

I'm going to try and go to the

East Rutherford, NJ
Wilkes-Barre, PA
Camden, NJ

I just need the dates to start planning my work around the shows. lol  What a great day for GNR fans.

[GnR-NOW]

Same here. I definitely want to make the East Rutherford show. Hopefully the dates work out.

[BurningHills]

Long time, no post!

Being that Wilkes-Barre is my hometown, I'll see everyone there! 

[cotis]

+1 to Wilkes-Barre, E. Rutherford, Camden, and Worcester.

I've been to some shows there, mostly festival type stuff during the summer when the lawn seating is open. Driving thru Camden does suck -- a guy from work saw Tool there a few years ago and told me about the ferry that leaves from Penn's Landing (Philly) and takes you to where the venue is in Camden. I've done that a few times. It's a pretty nice boat ride and the parking at the lot on the Philly side is a hell of a lot easier to get in and out of than Camden. Only thing is, the ferry only runs to a certain time i think, but they usually run as long as people are waiting to leave from a show. (it would REALLY suck walking back thru Camden!)
