Sosso Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) The market is not big enough for a band like GN'R. Most of the countries doesnt even have infrastructure or are simply not save enough. Edited September 26, 2021 by Sosso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Outside of Cape Town, Jo'burg and Cairo where have any other world tours gone within the African continent? I'm no expert but consider they would need to fly in all the gear themselves (what could you get locally?) in a market that has few large promoters of rock shows, with next to no indoor venues that could host the GN'R production, etc. I'm sure all that means it's logistically impossible at this point in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opalho Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I'm not a hundred percent sure about Africa. They played one show in Johannesburg, and even though it was a good turn-out (52,000 people!!), they're were still 7,000 tickets off. I don't think Guns N' Roses is that big in Africa. But if they went with some other band... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is that festival that happens in Morrocco (I forget what it's called), and so that could be an option The only problem with African venues is you either have small arenas (5,000 - 8,000), or huge stadiums (60,000 +) I think that if Guns haven't attemped a tour of Africa yet, it will unlikely be happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
