It’s taken more than 20 years to happen, but it’s official: the Axl Rose-led Guns N’ Roses will be touring the nation this year with original guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan back in the fold.
It’s not an April Fool’s joke, though no one would blame you for thinking it was: the news was announced on April 1. The story also comes the same week that rumors of Rose joining AC/DC have been dominating the music sites.
But the “Not In This Lifetime” tour is happening as 21 dates were announced Friday, including a show at San Francisco’s AT&T Park on Aug. 9. Tickets for the concert at the home of the Giants range from $55 to $275, and they go on sale Friday, April 8 at 10am at Livenation.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000.
For those dedicated GN’R fans who are members of the group’s official Nightrain fan club, they’ll be receiving an email providing a presale opportunity as soon as Saturday, apparently.
As for others looking for a way to obtain tickets early, the Citi® cardmember pre-sale begins April 4 at 10am. To sign up for their special service, visit citiprivatepass.com.
