A new Australian jaunt from Guns N’ Roses is long-awaited. Earlier this month, the band expanded their reunion tour into 2017, but didn’t announce any Australian shows.
Guns N’ Roses are touring the US throughout August, October and November. The last time the group toured Australia with key members Slash, Duff McKagan and Axl Rose was over two decades ago.
