Brilliant! Cant wait for this, its gonna be a great weekend, GNR are looking and sounding amazing this year!
Nicely put Classic Rock. “Axl Rose and his band” is exactly what this pantomime act is. “Guns n Roses” it ain’t, despite the billing.
Come the day, Axl will no doubt issue his usual boring threat to walk off stage at some point (yawn). Hopefully this time though, he will carry it out and just keep walking.
hope we get some arena shows too
Agreed with BBL, why that’s an attraction to anyone is beyond me. And tbh, for that price (which seems to be incessantly increasing) I’d want Jagger and Co and another Led Zep reunion. Give it a miss thanks
Does anyone care?
Shouldn’t they be called “Axl the diva and the faceless replacements”?
your only on for 2 hours surely you can go without the costume changes Britney.
@ dude
mate shut up!!
your the one who sounds the diva
Hmmm. Guns are like an old pound note…worthless! As for Dean, isn’t that how kids talk in the playground at school? Oh dear.
Lol it’s funny watching all of the GNR bitchers… GNR put on a better show than pretty much every live band I know. I would definitely consider getting a day ticket on Friday actually good line up.
Don’t you guys like Arcade Fire then? They’re an awesome band, odd that you guys decide to ignore them!
None of the above would even slightly interest me. Far far better line ups for download and knebworth imo
to be honest they refer themselves as GNR .an not guns n roses..lots of bands keep the name,as its good business, smashing pumpkins(billy) ,KISS (just paul an gene)..
an its also there only uk appearance according to efestivals…if you dont like gnr then dont bother wasting your time and commenting.
Hopefully a full UK to be announced.
Really looking forward to seeing them at Leeds Fest on the sunday. Saw them at Leeds 2002 & twice on their last arena uk tour. Check out the Utube footage of the recent gigs, the new stuff sounds great.
What a killer show! GNR, yeah!!!
Aww Guns N Roses are awesome!!!
not the best line up ever
but if guns n roses is on
the bill its gonna be great!!!
Well if they play all their hits, that should fill 10 minutes.
Save your cash and go to Download it’s a far better line up
