It's been going since 1970. They do seem an odd choice to play there, but having said that Metallica headlined it a few years back. I think there WAS that. These days it's very sanitised, very moneyed, very 'high paid professional jobs pretending we're so bohemian for a weekend'. Grew up fairly near the area- it's changed HUGELY in the last say, ten years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay.Of.Execution Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 According to this the show in Vigo, Spain would be on June 12 and the band is asking for 3 million dollars https://www.atlantico.net/articulo/vigo/guns-n-roses-balaidos-12-junio-concello-baraja-primer-gran-concierto/20230126234033964709.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allwaystired Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 So, they appear to still be at the negotiating stage for shows in June? If true, that seems ridiculous. This also backs up the theory that it's money holding everything up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 You'd have to sell 30,000 tickets that average $100 in price to make that back, that's not taking into account other venue costs like security, etc. Better hope fans buy a lot of $10 beers to make up for it.

ChristmasFnatic Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Last day of January, so is it today? lol. Tomorrow, Feb 1 is the 2 month mark since Hyde Park was announced, so maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone here weeks ago suggested it was Hyde trying to sell as much tickets as possible, and had an agreement with GNR. Anyway if they are indeed still in negotiations- who is negotiating for GNR?

And not dates in other countries. Also it's Live Nation selling their shows. So I think any negotation directly with the band is long done.

reayj2003 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Given the fact there’s still loads of availability for Hyde Park I’d say the poor show at Tottenham has dented their selling power a bit. interested to see what gets announced. I just hope they go down the “new dates, new song” route.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinese stew Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Vigo makes sense as it's on the border with Portugal they will also get Portuguese fans and more chances for a sold out show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely the tour opener. Portugal/Ireland are usually a tour opener or closer for most bands. Wth June 12 being roumered, which is unfortunately a Monday, will most likely be the opening show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you with total security because I'm from Spain more concrete from Galicia (where Vigo is) that It will sold out in not too much time, also as you said that Portugal is near is a good point for the sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to believe the hyde park thing is a one off europe gig for GNR. It s quite late to announce stadium gigs for June only in February or later.

Spoon87 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Beyonce just announced a world wide tour for 2023 starting in Europe in May, so maybe there's really still enough time for Guns to announce their tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
