Reunited Guns N' Roses Announces Two Pre-Coachella Las Vegas Shows

The reunited Guns N' Roses — featuring singer Axl Rose alongside guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan — will be one of the first acts to play the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, set to open April 6. They will play at the venue on April 8 and April 9.

Tickets for the shows will become available to the public starting this Saturday, January 23, but members of the official GN'R fan club, Nightrain, have an exclusive first shot at tickets and VIP packages starting today.

A trailer video for the Las Vegas dates can be seen below.



Ahead of April's headlining slot at the Coachella Music And Arts Festival, Guns N' Roses is also rumored to be planning a secret show in the Los Angeles area next month as a warm-up.

Upcoming Guns N' Roses shows:

April 08 - T-Mobile Arena - Las Vegas, NV
April 09 - T-Mobile Arena - Las Vegas, NV
April 16 - Coachella Music Festival - Indio, CA
April 23 - Coachella Music Festival - Indio, CA

Guns N' Roses is reportedly negotiating with promoters to play as many as 25 stadiums in North America this summer. For the tour, GN'R is said to be asking as much as $3 million per show, with tickets topping out in the $250 to $275 range.

Meanwhile, The Pulse Of Radio reports that the instrumental members of Guns N' Roses — including Slash, McKagan and more recent drummer Frank Ferrer — are rehearsing for the upcoming reunion shows without Rose. The frontman has yet to join the group in the rehearsal studio and it's not clear at the moment which other members are also present, if any.
