It’s been almost three years since the release of Chinese Democracy (now available for $1.99 at your local Best Buy). And since then, Guns N’ Roses have only played one show in the U.S.during their “world tour” last year (during which they were joined onstage by a former band mate and another time were kicked off the stage by a festival). The last time GN’R even went on a full blown tour in the U.S. was in 2006 (two years before Chinese Democracy’s release). But is it really ever “too late” to tour behind an album? Well, kind of, but we guess no one ever told Axl Rose that.
According to Ticketmaster, Guns N’ Roses are confirmed to perform at least three dates in the U.S. this coming Fall. The shows in Orlando and Miami already went on sale this morning, while the date in Kansas City, MO goes on sale next Friday (September 16). This will occur right after GN’R’s scheduled dates South America and Mexico. The band also revealed that they’ve began rehearsals via the following posting on Facebook and Twitter:
“ whoa, looks like someone forgot to tell the power company we started rehearsals #oops #brownouts #california”
While we’d imagine that more dates will eventually be announced, you never quite know what Axl Rose and the new GN’R may have planned. We’ll keep you updated if more shows are confirmed by Guns N’ Roses. At this moment, here are the dates confirmed by Ticketmaster:
