Guns N' Roses have announced that they have been forced to rearrange their UK and European shows for a second time, due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The rock legends have rescheduled their shows at Dublin's Marlay Park, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London and Glasgow Green to Summer 2022, where they will be part of a larger European tour.

In a statement on their website, Guns N' Roses said, 'Hey Gunners, unfortunately, we need to ask for your patience one more time. Our summer European tour dates will be rescheduled to 2022, but with the added bonus of new shows and special guest Gary Clark Jr!

'The tour kicks off in Lisbon, Portugal on June 4th, 2022, with new dates in Norway, Czech Republic, Poland, Netherlands, and Italy. Tickets remain valid for all rescheduled dates, so please do hold onto them.'

'We continue to be thankful for your understanding and support during these unprecedented times. Light is at the end of the tunnel and we are looking forward to getting back on stage later this year in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and next year in Europe and more!'

The tour was cancelled in May 2020 after Guns N' Roses released a statement reading, 'Sadly, the upcoming European tour will not be happening. Things are changing daily and we want to keep our fans, crew members and band safe.

'We are working hard with our promoters, venues and cities/countries on next steps and will make further announcements as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience, we will get through this together and look forward to seeing you all very soon...'

However, in August, the band released a new statement to announce the dates were being rearranged for June 2020, 'Hey Gunners, Picking up where we left off last week, most of our 2020 European tour dates are being rescheduled to June of 2021.

'Unfortunately, due to routing and venue availability, issues that developed during the postponement process a select few shows were not able to be rescheduled and have been cancelled.

'We are forever grateful for your understanding and continued support during these unprecedented times. We are looking forward to getting back on stage.'
