Guns N' Roses announce tour

On the back of an already-busy week for Axl Rose related news (replacing Brian Johnson in AC/DC anyone?), comes some of actual substance!

A 15 second video posted on the Guns N' Roses website confirms what has been rumoured for some time; that the much-hyped reunion lineup of Axl, Slash, Duff and definitely-not-Izzy will be playing much more than just a handful of dates this summer.

The full list of dates, set to a snippet of GNR's 'Patience' in the video, is: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallaas, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Seattle, St. Louis, Toronto, and Washington, D.C.

Watch the video announcement:

This tour is expected to happen in July and August, and follows two shows each at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (April 8-9), and Coachella Festival in California, (April 16 and 23). Sandwiched between are two shows at Mexico City’s Foro Sol Stadium (April 19-20). Also rumoured in all this is an L.A. club show, with industry sources saying that the Troubador on L.A.’s Sunset Strip is the most likely location.

It remains to be seen how much "Patience" notorious punctuality-shunner Axl will demand of his fans on these dates...
