If “Welcome to the Jungle” has more plays on your iTunes than it should, then you'll be excited to know that Guns N’ Roses is adding an extended North American leg to their ‘Not In This Lifetime’ tour. The reunion tour, which began way back in April 2016, has included original members Axl Rose, Duff McKagan and Slash, and saw the band headline Coachella before embarking on a massive, worldwide conquest.
Guns N’ Roses is already expected to play a series of Canadian shows, including August 19th in Montreal at Parc Jean Drapeau; August 21st in Ottawa at TD Place Stadium; August 24th in Winnipeg at Investors Group Field; August 27th in Regina at New Mosaic Stadium at Evraz Place; August 30th in Edmonton at Commonwealth Stadium; and September 1st in Vancouver at BC Place Stadium.
The band has included extended dates for October and November of this year, including a new show at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre on October 29th. The band has already played a show in The 6 last July at the Rogers Centre, which saw a sold-out crowd of 50,000 people.
Openers for the North American leg of the tour include famous groups such as: Deftones, Sturgill Simpson, the Kills, Mark Lanegan, Killing Joke, the Darkness, Royal Blood, and rock legends ZZ Top. Toronto’s own Our Lady Peace is expected to open for a number of Canadian shows, although it is uncertain whether they will open the show at the ACC.
The tickets for the new Toronto ACC show will go on sale on June 3 at Livenation.com.
