Surely less sell outs but still good business would be my guess. Farewell tour would certainly shift tickets too. I'm not sure how much the other big things they could do like a new album (however unlikely it may be) would shift tickets, or bringing back Adler and Izzy for an 'original lineup' run. Not sure the sort of casuals you need to sell tickets to to fill stadiums would care much about either of those things.

Surely less sell outs but still good business would be my guess. On their last US stadium run, tickets were being given away for free at a lot of shows... I assume their next tour will be arenas, maybe with 2 shows in the bigger markets. Their last run through Canada was 2017 so they might still be able to fill stadiums here, though. 5 minutes ago, allwaystired said: Farewell tour would certainly shift tickets too.

Not sure the sort of casuals you need to sell tickets to to fill stadiums would care much about either of those things. A farewell tour would probably sell better than the last few US tours. I don't think an AFD5 tour would matter to most people though, not enough to make a difference in stadiums. Aside from Axl's voice, Steven probably couldn't physically do it and Izzy probably wouldn't want to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think the buzz needed to fill stadiums is generally gone, that's both because it naturally does after the first go around, they've over toured and the overall quality of the performance has taken a dip and people aren't so blown away by seeing Slash anymore that they blow right by it. I think an AFD reunion is more of an indoor thing. A new album is a temporary "oh gnr have new music out" buzz, that lasts a week and then nobody cares it'll sell the same amount of tickets. Well... That's outside of a curve ball happening and somehow they release a song that goes viral and no 1 everywhere and everybody just loses their shit for gnr... But that's not gonna happen 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones that seem to manage it are The Rolling Stones. Younger acts (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran etc) seem to maintain that level by consistent releases and hype. And just being new!

Just googled it and there’s a website ‘allevents’ claiming 10th June as a date. they usually announce uk/European dates around this time of year so expect updates soon. Wembley would be great, but so far with the reunion they’ve only played West Ham / Olympic and Spurs stadium, which are both big stadiums but shit for travelling to (especially from outside London) and in Spurs’ case poor technical set up too. I only assume those two were selected because they’re cheaper to hire than Wembley, which makes me think it’ll be the same story next time too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the sound issues that people complained about were because of the sound engineers that GnR used, the stadium has a state of the art set up. The Lady Gaga concert had no issues with sound 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swedish Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 This won't happen, but I hope that GN'R will skip festivals and just play headline stadium/arena shows when they hit Europe next. I've always felt that GN'R isn't a festival band, and the festival shows I've seen them play have both been a lot worse than their own shows.

The lack of soundcheck definitely doesn't help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stay.Of.Execution Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 A friend of mine was at Hellfest and he loved it. Lot more energy than at usual shows. People were even crowd surfing during GNR, which is something you never see. Probably helped that they scrapped the slow songs from the set that night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumandraisin Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 For the love of god make it stop. Or do some smaller shoes like up close and personal, maybe stripped back with some different songs. Or just keep milking it till the point Axl can no longer sing in half empty stadiums. Who even cares at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I'm pretty sure that the 2023 tour will be still along the lines of "makeup" dates for the cancelled shows due to Covid. Besides Glasgow, there are some other shows both in Europe and NA that they weren't able to reschedule in 2021/22, but since they can't play only these shows due to logistics, costs, etc., they'll book (probably have booked already) additional dates in other cities and or festivals. After that it seems GN'R will take at least a year off, as Slash plans to tour with SMKC in 2024 (likely including summer festivals) and then who knows what happens.
