Iconic band Guns N Roses, has confirmed its first 2016 reunion gig outside of the United States and the band's reunited classic line-up will feature Duff McKagan, Slash and Axl Rose, according to NME.
The band will head to Foro Sol in Mexico City on April 19, between appearances in April at the Coachella festival. They also just confirmed two gigs in Las Vegas. The shows at the T-Mobile Arena marks the first time the band will play together since 1993.
Rythm guitarist, Izzy Stradlin and Matt Sorum have expressed interest in joining the group during their reunion tour and shared that they were okay with sharing duties, revealed Consequence of Sound.
Axl Rose and Slash have made amends after 20 years of bad blood between them. The guitarist declined to comment previously on the possibility of a reunion. Rumors of a stadium tour and gigs at United Kingdom festivals have not been confirmed.
Meanwhile, Def Leppard's guitarist, Phil Collen recently said that he is not impressed by the thought of "Guns N' Roses'" 2016 reunion after years of being apart, just because of the promise of millions of dollars, reported Blabbermouth.
"We obviously think it's really fucking lame," Collen told The Telegraph UK. "I love Guns N' Roses, I think they're really cool, I'd love to see Slash and Axl and Duff play together, that's great. But I think it's fucking lame considering we've been hardcore. Our integrity's still intact, we've never split up. We've gone through if someone had a little sniffle or something, we soldier on."
On the other hand, Def Leppard's frontman Joe Elliott recently said that he would love to see a Guns N' Roses reunion in 2016, with a classic line-up and with both Matt Sorum and Steven Adler behind the drum kit.
Rumors have been circulating that Guns N' Roses is currently negotiating with promoters, asking for as much as three million dollars per show, which makes tickets retail for $250 to $275 each. The band will reportedly play in as many as 25 stadiums in the summer, in North America.
