The return of GUNS N’ ROSES
Guns N’ Roses Announce Their Only
New Zealand Date
Believe the hype. Guns N’ Roses are back. The Chinese Democracy World Tour and another awesome moment in musical history is upon us. Sit down, strap in and hold on… it’s gonna be one hell of a ride.
After 14 years, the biggest and baddest band in the world, the rock’n’roll machine known as Guns N’ Roses, is set to return to New Zealand shores in June as part of their mammoth Chinese Democracy World Tour.
This will be the first time New Zealand audiences have seen the band since their legendary 1993 performances at Mt Smart Stadium (52,000 tickets sold). Guns N’ Roses will play just one show in Auckland on Friday 29 June at the new Vector Arena; there will be no other New Zealand dates. Tickets go on sale Monday 30 April.
2006 saw Guns N’ Roses perform over 70 concerts all over the world to rave reviews. With the release of the highly anticipated and long awaited Chinese Democracy album imminent, 2007 promises to be the time that Guns N’ Roses reclaim their throne as the world’s most dangerous band. Lead vocalist W. Axl Rose, guitarists Robin Finck, Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal and Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, keyboard players Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman, and drummer Frank Ferrer are a rock n’ roll spectacular that have to be experienced to be believed.
Guns N’ Roses special guests for the show will be none other than former Skid Row singer, the irrepressible SEBASTIAN BACH and Australia’s ROSE TATTOO.
Skid Row were the main support act for the legendary Mt Smart performance, and since then Bach has remained in the public eye through a series of acclaimed musical roles, a part in the popular television series Gilmore Girls, and more recently, his controversial appearances in the reality TV show Supergroup. The vocalist did a world tour last year to packed out shows, and with his new band in tow, Bach promises to deliver the goods all over again.
ROSE TATTOO fronted by legendary Aussie Rocker ‘Angry Anderson’ are back after recently finishing their sell-out “BLOOD BROTHERS” tour of Europe. The Tatts are set to rip it up onstage once again.
