adamsapple Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Serious question (for a friend) - who's in charge of booking these days? Fernando? Del? Someone at the record label? No booking or contact info on their website, nothing on TB's website either. Any business contact, phone number or email anywhere? Possible date and location might fit into their touring schedule for Europe next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarpatch Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) They have a booking agent at an agency. I think they are with United Talent Agency Edit: https://www.unitedtalent.com/artist/guns-n-roses/ Edited September 15, 2021 by guitarpatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willl Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Del is the tour manager so I'd start with him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious note, I'd imagine it would be an expensive engagement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just makes sure the tour moves along, getting from point A to B and so on. And mundane stuff like luggage getting transported to the airport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I have to say that really if you have to ask in a forum how to book GNR, chances are you probably don't have the connections to book them! Good luck with it though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with it though. You might have a slim chance if they are booking European dates and can throw them double their booking fee (5-6 mil). Even then, there’s exclusivity with other promoters and the band most likely isnt interested in doing gigs like that. That’s on top of other costs required to perform a gig. An approved venue, insurance, hiring local crew, etc… Just to expand on what’s in this thread: Live Nation is a promoter (who also controls/owns some venues). In this case, the op’s friend would be the promoter. So they are of no help in this instance. Del James is the tour manager. He doesn’t book shows. His job is day of show Team Brazil is management. They hired the booking agent and gave them parameters in what to book and what their schedule/plans are. It’s actually illegal in certain places for a manager to book shows United Talent Agency is the booking agency. They book shows and coordinate between management and promoters Edited September 15, 2021 by guitarpatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else would know where to look into how to book them. Edited September 15, 2021 by PatrickS77 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else would know where to look into how to book them. Pretty much. It’s a good opportunity to explain generally how things operate though. Little music industry 101 course work. Maybe it sparks some interest to pursue things 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsapple Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Just to clarify, I'm not booking anything, just asking for a friend. Thanks for your replies y'all, appreciate the input! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your replies y'all, appreciate the input! Yeah. We got that... even though the "asking for a friend" part is always suspicious. But same difference, I don't see much hope for your friend, if he has to ask a fan to ask on a fan forum where to book GNR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
