Guns N’ Roses is getting back together and are performing Coachella in 2016, according to the Hollywood Reporter:
Guns N’ Roses, with founding members Axl Rose and Slash, will headline the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., set for April 15-17 and April 22-24, according to multiple sources.
The band is also tapped to be one of the first acts to play the new Las Vegas Arena, which is set to open April 6 with The Killers and Wayne Newton. Additionally, the reunited band is negotiating with promoters to play as many as 25 football stadiums in North America in the summer of 2016. The band is said to be asking as much as $3 million per show, with tickets topping out in the $250-$275 range.
The report is no surprise, as speculation of a Coachella appearance has been out there for a while and hey, at $3 million per show, maybe Axl will even show up on time.
As far as the lineup goes, Consequence of Sound reports that Axl, Slash, and Duff McKagan are all involved with Matt Sorum believed to be behind the kit in place of original drummer Steven Adler.
No official word yet from the band or Coachella – but, we should know for sure shortly, as tickets and lineups for Coachella are usually announced in early January.
