The Guns N’ Roses reunion announcement is all but confirmed. According to Billboard, multiple sources are reporting that the beloved rock band will headline both weekends of the popular Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, CA.
The report also says that Guns N’ Roses are in negotiations to play 25 shows at football stadiums nationwide, including the soon-to-open Las Vegas Arena. Apparently the band is asking for $3 million per show, with tickets set to be priced around $250-275 a piece.
All signs are certainly pointing to this reunion, as the band changed the logo on their website to the vintage, Appetite For Destruction-era image. They also screened a mysterious trailer in theaters, with fans screaming and GNR music playing. Watch that here.
The story actually dates back to August, when the promoter for an Australian festival leaked that the band members were considering a performance. Further reports indicated that original members Slash and Axl Rose had buried the hatchet, though they have not performed together since July 17, 1993 in Rio.
We’ll be sure to update once the full GNR plans have been announced.
