Yes

There's an extra day for Rock for People added for GnR in the Czech Republic. I already got my tickets with the first announcement, don't know how the extra day is going to work  

[AxlRoseCDII]

This alone isn’t the biggest failure of GNR or anything, but it’s still wild to me that constantly with this band, whether it be new singles or tour announcements now apparently, has these botched announcements and delays. You’d think after just one of these incidents management would tighten up at all.

[allwaystired]

This is the only thing I snapshotted.

Would have got more, but didn't realise it would vanish for days so didn't think it a big deal!

Oh. Well. Now at least we know why it's on the same day as Bruce Springsteen.  It's a festival gig. Maybe Fernando not so incompetent after all.

Fontaines DC are very high up that lineup- are they big over there?

No one was there as Vienna was the capital of Austria that year. 

The city has only moved to Italy for the 2025 tour dates. 

Moving an entire city so that more people can see the show....

What a band! 

[jamillos]

No announcement on the festival site yet. Anyway, Guns used to be the biggest thing in Prague on the given week. Now they are a special addition to a festival in Hradec with shitty bands like Linkin Park. O la la. Well, that’s what 8 years of being on the same tour and killing any residue of excitement does for ya! 

[opalho]

If anyone is interested, there is a fanpage on IG that posted screenshots of all the dates/venues from the staging website https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCza_Ovxq21/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

That assassment is dumb as hell. GNR got an extra day at a festival that is already 4 days, which has Linkin Park, who's recent concerts sold out in minutes and are playing in stadiums themselves now. You may not like LP, but they/that is a big deal. And the promoter thinks they are strong enough to put them on the same day Bruce Springsteen has a concert. GNR hasn't diminished. And it's not the same tour.

I don't really get the Bruce Springsteen thing. Other than it being a massive pain in the arse for people going in terms of transport congestion and hotel availability, it's not really a big deal is it? Springsteen is probably sold out, and plays to a pretty different audience. 

I'm surprised the local authorities allowed it though, as usually, for the above reasons, they don't want two big events on in the same place on the same day......but I don't think this is a problem we can lay at GNR's door! 

I'm all for calling out the sort of nonsense that regularly goes on with GNR, but this seems a bit of a reach!

I'm sure there's a lot of people, who would go see both and have to make a choice/won't get to make a choice, because they already have Springsteen tickets (which is the sold out postponed concert from last year). I would be fucked, would I live in the vicinity, as I definitely would want to see both. And at this time and stage of his career, Springsteen would be it for me. It's 2 different cities, 115 km apart, so the authorities would have no reason to not allow it.

Well, I disagree, and after all, that’s one of the perks of discussion forums, although I myself don’t usually tend to call other people’s opinions "dumb as hell". 

I know Guns partake in festivals, but this is not Rock am Ring we’re talking about. They used to be a big thing in Prague, now they’re an end cap of a festival somewhere... but ok, you can perceive it as them having a lot of confidence playing the same day as Bruce in Prague. And you may be right after all, although these things are country-specific, it still could cause certain conflicts, and perhaps you’d need to actually live here and know details to fully see what I mean. 

Yes, Linkin Park are shit, even worse than Limp Bizkit. That is my opinion, like it or not. They may be "a big deal", but so is Taylor Swift – what of it? Means nothing. 

"GNR hasn’t diminished. And it’s not the same tour." Well, they have, the numbers speak for themselves, but like I’ve said before, they’ve been doing the same tour, so no wonder. And yes, it is essentially the same tour. They do add some deep cuts and occasional demos, but in order for this not to be the same tour, they’d have to actually release a new record and tour it, which they haven’t. Some people just don’t get fooled that easily by a mere change of title and a few different songs every now and then. 

If some of this steps on your toes, just sit back, relax, and don’t take things so seriously. The band really doesn’t need your apologetics. Plus it looks like TB has already hired some local police to maintain order on here.  

Have a great day.

My guess is that the extra Guns day will not be included in the general admission but the tix will be sold separately (Rock for People already sells one day tix). I will not skip this gig for sure.

Well, another dumb as hell assessment. But that's par the course, I guess. Why do you keep harping about Prague? Does the rest of the country not count? What conflicts? Them not doing what you want? There is a festival on that weekend and they have been booked and get paid what they want. Go or don't. It's not that deep, really. But anyway, great day to you too.

What?

[Lethalis]

I think it's crazy they're going to tour again with no new material.

Anyways, last time I saw GNR was in 2018. It was the first European tour with Slash on board. The concert was great (Goffertpark) and Slash was the main thing for me. I have seen GNR several times before, with Bumblefoot and also with DJ Ashba, but it was the first time with Slash for me (saw Slash before with Velvet Revolver though).

When they returned in 2019 and 2023 I didn't feel like going again. And I still feel the same.

No new material = no concert for me.

I think they're getting popular everywhere in the EU Maybe not ready to do big arenas like in the UK. They're doing 3-8k capacity venues everywhere now. I think subheadliner is fitting right now

Random attacks in internet forums on people who you weren't even talking to to begin with. Hope that makes you feel big and strong. Prick.

Limp bizkit’s guitar player alone is worth more than the whole linkin park ensable

Last time gnr played in prague, green day was playing in hradec kralove at the rock for people festival on the same day. Seemed also strange business wise

It's not a bad assessment. Gnr were stadiums only initially, now they play some stadiums, some arenas already that shows a decline in pulling power.

"It's a different show" I mean you could look at it as a new show, but you could equally look at it as the the bare minimum changes in order for the tour to still be viable. The main structure of the set remains intact - ISE opens, Slash solo/Sweet child, Nightrain before encore Paradise close. Same stage show.  Changing the stage, changing the beginning middle end and that would be a new show. The last tour was an improvement from previous years though.
