SlashRock Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Although this is probably true I always have to question anything 'official' when it concerns Guns N' Roses.Good point I really hope they do announce arena dates. Three dates in Manchester would be heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 No UK arena dates this year according to official forums announcement: Although this is probably true I always have to question anything 'official' when it concerns Guns N' Roses.I am now feeling very nervous I really don't have £70-80 to go to one day in Reading. Plus the travel costs etc and we'd be talking about £100-120!BOOK SOME FUCKING ARENA DATES YOU UTTER CUNTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plonker88 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 When they say only shows this year I take that to mean they may come back around for a UK leg, fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose UK Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I expected a similar tour to that which Aerosmith are doing.One festival and the O2 and probably a couple more dates with Guns as they usually do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plonker88 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I really don't think Guns will pass up a UK tour, they sold extremely well last time around and would surely make a big profit if the South American leg is anything to go by. Hold out for 2011 guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking- Guns haven't announced any other UK dates yet so as far as Reading/Leeds are concerned this is the only place to see them. However, this will hopefully change in a few weeks. If we haven't heard anything by the end of April though i'll be very worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bionic56 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Rock giants Guns N'Roses, Arcade Fire and Blink 182 will be the headliners for this year's Leeds and Reading Festivals.And cult favourites The Libertines also confirmed they would play the twin-show event after finally burying their differences.The show by G N'R will be the first ever appearance at Reading, although the group - fronted by Axl Rose - did play Leeds in 2002.The shows, lined up for the August Bank Holiday weekend, will be the band's only UK festival appearances of the year.Although Rose has continued to perform with a varying line-up, he had not released an album for more than a decade until last year's long-heralded return Chinese Democracy.It is the Libertines reunion which will probably be more keenly anticipated by many festival-goers, as frontmen Pete Doherty and Carl Barat agreed to perform together once more.The quartet fell apart in 2004 when Barat fell out with his joint frontman because of Doherty's wayward behaviour as he battled with drug problems.The Libertines continue to have a fascination for fans and their 2002 debut album, Up The Bracket, was named the best British album of the past decade in a survey of musicians and music industry bigwigs by music magazine NME.Arcade Fire have not played the UK since 2007 when they toured acclaimed second album Neon Bible. Their shows at Leeds and Reading will be their only festival slots over here.Punk trio Blink 182, whose hits include All The Small Things, reformed last year and these will be the first UK dates since then.Copyright © 2010 The Press Association.

Calcy Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) Hopefully they have an agreement that when the festival sells out (it usually does instantly) then they will announce some of their own dates. Not really wanting to pay 70-80 bucks for the show, esp with some dross that id need to put up with beforehand.But at least they're touring.
