Once again, a Guns N’ Roses tour is about to begin and few outside their die-hard fan-base are aware. Currently The Most dangerous band in the world are set to play a shocking 9 gigs over the next three months. How they plan to meet this grueling, intensive schedule boggles both the mind and physics. The logistics of trying to get from Denmark to the UK in 1.5 months is beyond human possibility. Learn our limitations Axl, damn it! We’re only people for fecks sake.
Sarcasm aside, Tickets There stands by Axl and the guys and we’re confident there’s more dates on the cards for us Europeans. Norway, Russia, Sweden and Finland are odd choices but maybe Axl’s sick of the rest of Europe’s bitching….and he’d be right to! Anywho, if more dates come out, we’ll announce em but for now, this is the full list of Euro 2010 shows.
May 31 – Bergen, Norway
June 2 – Oslo, Norway
June 5 – Helsinki, Finland
June 6 – St. Petersburg, Russia
June 8 – Moscow, Russia
June 12 – Norje, Sweden
June 14 – Aalborg, Denmark
August 27 – Reading, UK
August 29 – Leeds, UK
Tickets There would like to wish the Guns the best of luck for tonights show, hope everything goes well!!
Sorry folks, all an April Fools Day joke BUT, keep an eye on TT because we’re 99% sure an Irish date is coming…but it won’t be Slane
Unconfirmed reports have tipped hard rock legends Guns N Roses to take the headlining spot at this year’s Slane Festival.
The band who are already being confirmed to play the Reading and Leed’s Festivals in August last played the venue on their Use Your Illusion World Tour in 1992.
Since late last year, Guns have been steadily trekking their way around the world on their Chinese Democracy World Tour with leg’s in Asia, Canada and South America already completed. It seems the group will spend June – August playing shows in Europe and then possibly move onto North America. The group has been playing a slightly odd set list recently which can be viewed below,
Axl’s Intro (Chinese Democracy melody)
Paradise City
Right Next Door to Hell
If The World
Live and Let Die Fortus (Richard) Solo
One in A Million
Out Ta Get Me
Locomotive
Sweet Child O Mine Don’t Cry
Anything Goes
You Ain’t The First

After weeks of unconfirmed rumors circulating around the net, the news is now…almost official and the current set of definite dates can be viewed below.
Rumors of a summer/Autumn US Tour have now gone into overdrive as the band steadily proves to the world that they are back with a vengeance.

Well it isn’t difficult to judge what today’s most popular search will be. Legendary, beloved heroes of Tickets There, Guns N’ Roses are opening the first night of a thirteen date Canadian tour tonight in Winnipeg.
The tour officially opened last month when the group played a mini tour of Asia consisting of four dates in Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. The shows were rapturously well received and rather than a burnt out shell of a formerly great band, the world got to see a glimpse of the strongest GNR lineup since the golden days of the late eighties. All the shows ran close to the three hour mark with their last show in Japan reaching three hours and thirty seven minutes.
The bands latest album, Chinese Democracy was released in 2008 but to a lot of fans disappointment, it wasn’t promoted with music video’s, interviews or a tour. Rumor has it lead singer, Axl Rose was unhappy with the way the release was handled and simply disappeared, shunning all his promotional agreements.
Tickets There would like to wish Axl, Ron and all the boys the best of luck on the tour. All going well, these shows will pave the way for the much anticipated European / American shows later in the year.
Moving swiftly along from the disastrous audio spectacle that is Slash’s new single Sahara and it’s totally original B-Side, Paradise City, we can now look on to the happy, happy news that is…drum roll please….the fact that Guns N’ Roses have made the 2010 Tour Dates official.
The bands MySpace and Facebook were updated with the dates today so all eyes on are on the gunsnroses.com website for the final confirmation.
Lead singer and living rock super god, Axl Rose and the band have yet to make any comment about the dates but all’s looking good so far. With any luck the band will start to announce further dates in the US and Europe soon.

Seems things are really piling up in favor of the 2010 Guns N’ Roses tour actually going ahead. Axl Rose, Tickets There’s personal choice for greatest living rock legend and his group of guns will be hitting Canada and the world next year for a tour that looks set to be pretty massive. As long as Ticket sales and normal ranting issues don’t get in the way, the world will finally have one of hard rock’s greatest bands back on its feet.
