Here we Go!

So as we've already heard, GNR apparently are heavily rumoured to play glastonbury next year (https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife/glastonbury-2023-line-up-headliners-7697791)

The ticket sales for the festival start on nov 3rd. Surely they will be announcing at least some of their headliners by then, right?

Download wouldn't surprise me either being the 20th anniversary of it

Agree but think it'll be Glasto (if any). Rumours for Download are Metallica for 2 nights. Motley/Def Leppard was one of my other guesses but they just released their tour dates for 2023 and there's no room.

I believe this will be similar to the 2018 tour. Europe in summer and then some Asia dates, maybe South Africa again.

No, ticket sales can and probably will go ahead without any confirmed headliners.

Say more?

There's a rumour every year that they're going to play my hometown here in Germany, but their booking management says that the football stadium is too small for them (which is part of the reason why the city tried to chop down over hundred trees on a parking lot to create some kind of festival ground, which was protested against heavily and never happened, which for example led to Ed Sheeran playing in a different town as well) and they won't do two nights in a row (the last time this came up). 

But Axl played here with AC/DC back then, so maybe there's still hope.

I hope too for another San Siro.
But I'm afraid it will be Firenze Rocks or Idays this time.

Rock in Rio 2023 the return of the yellow jacket mickey edition. Cant wait haha

What would be good is if they have a new album to actually tour off.

Where are you hearing those rumours? RP?

[reayj2003]

I was wondering if they’d do British summer time at Hyde park but us AEG rather than live nation. Does that mean they wouldn’t do it? How does it work?

This and there's always office talk about the negotiations between the city and it's cultural department and the local football club regarding the booking of the stadium. I work for the cultural department (on a different floor so to say), so there's always hearsay going 'round.

[invisible_rose]

Unless they're playing smaller venues and actually touring properly (ie not just one or two stadium dates per county or festivals), I certainly won't be going. No chance in hell I'll be dumping another shit tonne of cash to travel to London from Yorkshire to see what is effectively the same show as 2016 and 2022. I'd love to see this band in an arena and with at least some new music. Can't be too much to ask for, surely. If that isn't on the cards, then I'm 100% out.

Let me know when you start hearing anything regarding D'Dorf (my hometown too btw)

[grogmug]

I actually wouldn’t mind a US run, maybe they can open with the instrumental from The General like they were a decade ago, or, perhaps play the song in its entirety…!!!?

I’m sure they will play at least a few shows in the States hopefully. The last Indy show rocked.

Considering the venues in the US got smaller on the last leg, i think an euro run is more likely. They've "only" been here 3 times since the reunion and can still easily fill the big stadiums, especially since they have skipped many countries on each leg.

Werd' ich machen!

So far there's been nothing too specific regarding GNR, just some bigger time slots in the booking of the stadium which are still tba so to say and the usual "Maybe this time?" by some other fans in the office. I heard something about Coldplay but as soon as I heard that I left the convo.

Holy Jesus

When you thought there was no way they would keep doing this neverending touring with a new album, it's like 2014 all over again.

We'll it's been like this for a while. This is lasting more than the 2009-2014 lineup.

Nah, Glastonbury doesn't do lineup before tickets. They release the full lineup around April.

Glasto isn't announced till march time. tickets go on sale first, sell out in minutes. then in march they announce the headliners and the bill and people can do a ticket exchange with other glasto members. Would be surprised, as Glasto wont pay more than £1.5m to headline acts. GnR got £5m for download festival. So they'd be doing it for the heritage of the festival rather than money. which doesnt sound like modern GnR

From an insider I heard it WAS metallica slipknot Metallica Rage aginst the machine for download. Apparently rage are cancelling all tours coz of zaks injury so it could be bring me the  horizon replacement.
