No booze for concert goers at the Guns N’ Roses show in Auckland on February 4^th, 2017 reports New Zealand’s Stuff.

A temporary liquor ban has been imposed for a raft of streets surrounding Western Springs Stadium where the rock legends will perform on February 4th.

But Auckland Stadiums director Paul Nisbet ensured punters that alcohol will still be available for purchase inside the stadium grounds. A crowd of around 50,000 is expected to attend the show as part of Guns N' Roses' Not in This Lifetime tour.

A similar ban was put in place for AC/DC’s concert at the same venue in December 2015.

The 2017 UK, European and Canadian legs of the Guns N' Roses already hugely successful Not In This Lifetime tour went on sale on December 9th and has already sold more than a million tickets in 24 hours!  Tickets for the 2017 US dates go on sale tomorrow, December 10th.

The Not In This Lifetime Tour has now sold more than 3 million tickets in 2016, making it the year's most successful rock tour.  

Following the group’s 1985 formation, Guns N’ Roses injected unbridled, unrivalled, and unstoppable attitude into the burgeoning Los Angeles rock scene. The spirit went on to captivate the entire world with the release of their 1987 debut Appetite for Destruction –the best-selling U.S. debut ever, moving 30 million copies globally.  In 1991, the seven-time platinum Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II occupied the top two spots of the Billboard Top 200 upon release. Over the course of the past decade, Guns N’ Roses have performed sold out shows and headlined festivals worldwide following the critically acclaimed release of 2008’s RIAA platinum-certified Chinese Democracy. Six studio albums later, Guns N’ Roses are one of the most important and influential acts in music history and continue to set the benchmark for live performances connecting with millions of fans across the globe.
