Report: GUNS N’ ROSES To See $3 Million Per Reunion Show; April Las Vegas Date Rumored

According to Billboard, Guns N’ Roses - featuring the reunited Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan - are scheduled to be one of the first acts to play the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, set to open April 6th. Beyond that, the reunited band - the full lineup and the status of the other two founding members, guitarist Izzy Stradlin and drummer Steven Adler, remain unclear - is also negotiating with promoters to play as many as 25 stadiums in North America this summer. For the tour, GNR is said to be asking as much as $3 million per show (the Coachella payday is likely significantly higher), with tickets topping out in the $250 to $275 range.

The original GNR’s most successful tour was the Use Your Illusion trek of 1991-1993. The 106 shows reported to Billboard Boxscore grossed an average of $601,435 per date.

Odd things are happening in the Guns N' Roses camp, as band management is now forcing some of the members linked with the new lineup to deny the reunion, reports Ultimate-Guitar.com

Multi-instrumentalist Chris Pitman, who was the only musician apart from vocalist Axl Rose to give a strong confirmation of his involvement with "semi-reunited" GN'R through such posts as "Gonna be a fun time 2016 #coachella #axlrose #GunsNRoses," has now "denied" the whole thing. Pitman tweeted: "I was just informed by management to not acknowledge anything about Coachella, GN'R, etc. So there, denied! #GamesForDays"

Management's decision comes in a midst of the latest reports suggesting that drummer Steven Adler and guitarist Izzy Stradlin could be involved with the reunited Guns after all. Thus far, only three musicians have been confirmed for the new GN'R lineup: Axl Rose on vocals, Slash on lead guitar, and Duff McKagan on bass. Read more at this location.

The only Guns N' Roses show confirmed is the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, CA on April 16th and 23rd.
