Guns N'Roses to kick start Australian tour in February

Xinhua, August 17, 2016 Adjust font size:

Australians will get their "appetite for destruction" when iconic American rockers Guns N' Roses kick start their Australian tour in February.

Local media reported on Wednesday that majority of the band made famous with their "Use Your Illusion" and "Appetite for Destruction" records will tour Australia as part of their "Not In This Lifetime" tour currently rocking through the United States.

The tour will mark the first time that founder Axl Rose and former members, Slash and Duff McKagan have played together for Aussie fans since their 1993 "Use Your Illusion" tour.

It looks like Aussie fans will be taking the midnight train home from its first stop in Brisbane, before hitting Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and finishing off in Perth.

Paul Dainty, president and chief executive of music promoter TEG Dainty confirmed on Wednesday the band's founder Axl Rose and former members, Slash and Duff McKagan, will kick start the Australian leg on Feb. 7. Endit
