“There are only a handful of bands through the years whose music not only resonates with fans, but changes the entire face of rock ‘n’ roll. Guns N’ Roses is one of those true icons,” Louder Than Life producer Danny Wimmer said. “Every year we want to come back bigger and better, and we can’t wait to welcome Axl, Slash, Duff and the rest of GN’R to the Louder Than Life stage.”
With this new performance announcement, the GN'R reunion that began in 2016 continues with original singer Axl Rose, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan along for the ride. The group's Not In This Lifetime... Tour became one of the highest grossing tours in history, with its impressive run between April 2016 and December 2018. Earlier this year, McKagan even teased that the band is working on a new album.
The full lineup for Louder Than Life will be announced Monday, Apr. 8, with tickets going on sale the same day at 9:00 a.m. ET.
