Guns N’ Roses fans have more than a promise to go on now.
After announcing last week that a summer tour was in the offing — but giving no details — the iconic Los Angeles hard rock band Friday followed up with details of a 20-city U.S. stadium tour that includes an Aug. 9 show at AT&T Park in San Francisco.
Tickets, $55-$275, go on sale 10 a.m. April 8 via livenation.com.
The ironically titled Not in This Lifetime Tour kicks off in Detroit June 23.
The band had already been announced as one the headlining acts at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, which kicks off April 15. The band’s San Francisco date comes two days after the close of the Outside Lands Festival at Golden Gate Park, for which it had been rumored as a headliner.
The Coachella shows and follow-up tour will mark the first time that three key GNR founding members — singer Axl Rose, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan — have performed together since the early 1990s. Many fans doubted that Rose and Slash could ever play together again (hence the tour’s name). Nonetheless the band, which reached legendary status after breaking out in Los Angeles in 1987, has been the center of rumors, speculation and wishful thinking through years of relative inactivity.
