Lio Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 That's funny. No offense, but do you get a lot of shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha... we get quite a few but I never thought we’d see GN’R. The concert promoters are saying it’s the biggest production we’ve ever had here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovelessNL Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Thats really cool! Wonder if they are adding more stuff in markets they rarely play here in/around Europe? This is added AFTER the current leg ends... (sure, only 3 days but still... they almost never drop just one show, its always been a complete leg for most of NITL, except maybe Coachella, Vegas and the first Brazil shows).

Axl_morris Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Reminds me when they done the Dubai gig coming back from Australia/Asia. Like stopping off along the way back. What venue size is it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 This seems incredibly late to be announcing big tour dates for July. Are these sites trusted? Nothing official yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlIsGod. Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Would be tempted to go if true but I agree, this seems weird as a one off addition this late. Unless it was on the cards at the previous announcement and theyve only just figured the logisitcs out. Still, you'd assume they'd of given up almost 6 months after the other shows were announced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lio Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 It certainly looks like it's happening. Bit too much detail to be just a rumour. http://icelandreview.com/news/2018/04/24/guns-n-roses-play-iceland-july Quote American rock band Guns N’ Roses will play in Reykjavík on July 24th, RÚV reports. A crew of 150 people will accompany the band, who will set up a 65-metre wide stage for the show. Organizers say it will be the largest concert ever held in Iceland. The Reykjavík concert will be the last in a world tour which began in April 2016. It marks the first time Singer Axl Rose, guitar player Slash, and bass player Duff McKagan have reunited since 1993. A total of 35 storage containers will be shipped to Iceland for the event, along with a 150-person crew who will see to the set-up for the concert. The preparations will take around a week, and include setting up a 65-metre stage, big screens, and a special floor to protect the stadium where the event will take place. Tickets for the concert will cost ISK 18.900 (USD 190/EUR 150) and go on sale the first of May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelessNL Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Phew, I guess we will get an announcement + some confirmation about it actually being the last NITL show. I mean, we all figured it was over for (at least) NITL after this euro leg, but this is actually the first time its more or less confirmed.

Powerage5 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Fuck, I wish I could do that one. If I didn't have a Maiden gig that day I'd absolutely have made the jump over to Reykjavik and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklord Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 One day when I become a millionaire I'll go to Secret Solstice. It always has the wildest lineups, kinda like Exit in Serbia. Has everything from shitty edm to the blackest metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovelessNL Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 15k capacity, actually wondering if the full production incl stage will fit This is gonna be sold out instantly, especially if GNR will also announce it as the end of NITL and a relatively small show, looking at the venue. 43 minutes ago, cineater said: Or could be they will roll out more dates this week. Plenty of summer left. Dont really think so. Pretty uncommon to announce this late, and they've basically announced the legs >6 months in advance afaik.

"The Reykjavík concert will be the last in a world tour which began in April 2016." Capacity will be around 25,000 for a concert, according to wikipedia. Interestingly, it hasn't got walls, so I guess there's a potential to expand it possibly too.
