LOS ANGELES (<\/strong>5 December<\/strong> 2016)<\/strong> \u2013 The resurgent Guns N’ Roses<\/strong> and their massively successful Not In This Lifetime Tour<\/em><\/strong> continue to show no signs of slowing down as the legendary band storms into 2017 with more than 30 stadium shows<\/strong> lined up across Europe and North America.\u00a0 Starting on Saturday 27 May 2017<\/strong> at Meath\u2019s Slane Castle, the Live Nation produced tour will then steamroll into 18 more cities across the UK and Europe including shows scheduled in London, Paris, Madrid, Vienna, Copenhagen and more.\u00a0 Following the European leg of the tour, the acclaimed band will once again return to North America for even more stadium dates starting on 30 July at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN and then move along to 15 more cities across the US and Canada including Denver, Vancouver, Edmonton, Montreal, St. Louis, Miami and more.\u00a0 Tickets go on sale this Friday 9 December at 9am.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking on the announcement Lord Henry Mountcharles stated <\/em>“We are really thrilled to have one of the most excitIng rock n’ roll bands in the world coming back to Slane 25 years after they first played, the same month in 1992 which was critically considered to be one of the best Slane\u2019s ever.”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

While Lord Henry\u2019s daughter Lady Tamara Conyngham is thrilled by next years headliners “I\u2019m just so excited that I will finally get the chance to see one of the greats. I missed them the first time round the fact I get a second chance is pretty incredible.”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

While son Alex recalled the last time Guns N\u2019 Roses visited Slane \u201cThey were massive for us at the time and an amazing act to witness. I remember Axl coming out on stage and the crowd just going bananas. The energy was incredible.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Not In This Lifetime Tour<\/em><\/strong> has sold over 2 million tickets<\/strong> throughout 2016 while also grossing over $200 million<\/strong> to become the year\u2019s most successful rock tour proving beyond a doubt that the attitude, spirit and influence of both Guns N\u2019 Roses and the rock & roll genre are as strong as ever.\u00a0 The history-making Not In This Lifetime<\/em><\/strong> Tour<\/em><\/strong>, which visited 21 cities (25 shows) in less than 2 months, wrapped the first North America leg last summer before setting its eyes on South America.\u00a0 In South America, the band completely sold out all 15 dates of the tour including 13 stadium dates.<\/p>\n

Following the group\u2019s 1985 formation, Guns N\u2019 Roses <\/strong>injected unbridled, unrivalled, and unstoppable attitude into the burgeoning Los Angeles rock scene. The spirit went on to captivate the entire world with the release of their 1987 debut Appetite for Destruction<\/em> \u2013the best-selling U.S. debut ever, moving 30 million copies globally. \u00a0In 1991, the seven-time platinum Use Your Illusion I <\/em>and Use Your Illusion II<\/em> occupied the top two spots of the Billboard <\/em>Top 200 upon release. Over the course of the past decade, Guns N\u2019 Roses<\/strong> have performed sold out shows and headlined festivals worldwide following the critically acclaimed release of 2008\u2019s RIAA platinum-certified Chinese Democracy<\/em>. Six studio albums later, Guns N\u2019 Roses are one of the most important and influential acts in music history and continue to set the benchmark for live performances connecting with millions of fans across the globe. Guns N\u2019 Roses\u2019 are Axl Rose (vocals, piano), Duff McKagan (bass), Slash (lead guitar), Dizzy Reed (keyboard), Richard Fortus (rhythm guitar), Frank Ferrer (drums), and Melissa Reese (keyboard).<\/p>\n
