Welcome (Back) to the Jungle: Guns N’ Roses to Reunite at Coachella – says Billboard

Okay, okay, we still can’t 100% guarantee that the much-speculated Guns N’ Roses reunion is set to happen in 2016, but Billboard is confidently reporting that it’s game on.

Billboard, going on information from multiple industry sources (Billboard is a very industry-tied publication), says that an Axl Rose and Slash incarnation of Guns N’ Roses will take the stage at Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California (April 15-17 and April 22-24.) It’s unclear if other original GNR members Duff McKagan, Izzy Stradlin, or Steven Adler will also be in the lineup. (We’d only put our money on McKagan being there.)

BUT, that’s not all. Billboard says that the band will play as many as 25 concerts at football stadiums across North America during the summer of 2016. Guns N’ Roses is also expected to be one of the first bands to perform at the Las Vegas Arena, which will open on April 6.

For each show, Guns N’ Roses is reportedly seeking a $3 million payday, with highest-priced tickets to be sold in the neighborhood of $250-275.

For the record, the last time Axl and Slash took the stage together was in 1993. For many, many years to follow, the duo had little to no contact.

Lastly, Coachella typically announces its lineup in January, so we should know very soon when or if this Guns N’ Roses tour will actually come to fruition.
