This is the first international stadium tour announcement since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though it is not yet known when exactly Australia will re-open its international borders, local concert promoters are feeling confident with the country\u2019s path out of the coronavirus pandemic. But the announcement has raised eyebrows given The Morrison government has said it hopes to welcome international visitors by late 2021. However, that timeline depends on the distribution of an effective COVID-19 vaccine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe\u2019re not doing this lightly,\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tour promoter Paul Dainty said. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThere was a lot of consideration before we pulled the trigger. I\u2019ve been doing this a long time. We wouldn\u2019t be proceeding if we weren\u2019t 100 per cent confident. There\u2019s a lot of good news around with the vaccine and the like and we wanted to be optimistic and on the front foot.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt\u2019s great for the fans, great for the stadiums, great for Australia,\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">he said. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c[Lots of] companies feed off this industry. I think there\u2019ll be a lot of excitement. Stadium rock is back.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The upcoming, eight-stop Guns N\u2019 Roses tour will hit Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide and Perth, as well as Wellington and Dunedin, between Saturday, November 6, 2021 and Wednesday, November 24, 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The internationally renowned rock band last performed in Australia in 2017 with their \u201cNot In This Lifetime\u201d tour. This marked the first tour that saw founding members Axel Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan all take the stage together in over a decade. Each show drew crowds of 50,000 to 70,000 people, with the Melbourne performance making headlines after the rockers greeted the crowd as if they were in Sydney. Following the tour, the band left fans hanging with Slash tweeting that the band would be back Down Under soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tickets for the 2021 tour can be found <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/guns-n-roses-tickets\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Guns N&#8217; Roses Australia and New Zealand Tour 2021<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Show Date and Time: Saturday, November 6, 2021 \u2013 Wednesday, November 24, 2021\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Show Location: Metricon Stadium, Gold Coast \u2013 Optus Stadium, Perth<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guns N\u2019 Roses have announced an Australia and New Zealand tour scheduled for November 2021.
