GUNS N’ ROSES will play the first rock concert ever at Las Vegas’s new Allegiant Stadium on Friday, August 27. The show will be part of the band’s U.S. tour, which kicks off on July 31 in Hershey, Pennsylvania with opening act MAMMOTH WVH featuring Wolfgang Van Halen.
Tickets for the Vegas concert start at $39.50 and will go on sale Saturday, June 12 at 10 a.m. at this location. A Nigthtrain fan club presale will be held from Wednesday, June 9 at 10 a.m. through Friday, June 11 at 10 p.m.
GUNS N’ ROSES features classic-lineup members Slash (guitar), Duff McKagan (bass) and Axl Rose (vocals) backed by guitarist Richard Fortus, drummer Frank Ferrer, keyboardist Dizzy Reed and second keyboardist Melissa Reese.
The band is now reportedly working on a new studio album — the first under the GUNS name since 2008’s “Chinese Democracy” and the first to feature Rose, Slash and McKagan since 1993.
MAMMOTH WVH’s self-titled debut album will be released on June 11 via Explorer1 Music Group/EX1 Records.
