Guns N' Roses coming toSydney?

Tue 1st Jun, 2010 in Local News

Guns N’ Roses are expected to announce a concert at ANZ Stadium on Sunday 5 December, according to The Daily Telegraph.

The newspaper has reported that Axl Rose is set to bring Guns N’ Roses to Australia to headline the V8 Supercars finale at Sydney’s Olympic Park in December.

The article quotes a source close to the negotiations, who claims that “The Gunners are the No. 1 target and they’ve indicated they are willing to do it. It’s just a matter of getting the contracts signed.”

The suggestion of a Guns N’ Roses show linked to V8 Supercars finale, inevitably recalls the band’s most famed Australian performance at the Eastern Creek racecourse in Sydney on 1993’s ‘Use Your Illusion’ tour.

Axl Rose brought his new-look band (corn rows and all) to Australia in 2007, only a year before finally releasing the Guns N Roses’ sixth studio album Chinese Democracy.

Murmurs of a full-blown Gunners reunion reemerged last month when Rose’s ex-bandmate Slash’s visit in April. was in the country on a promo visit, however, they seem highly unlikely.
