Guns N’ Roses Invading New York For Fashion Week
Posted by Chris Harris on January 30, 2012 in News, Tour Dates
For some reason, Axl Rose really likes New York’s Fashion Week. Dude is in the Big Apple fucking every year for Fashion Week, which is maybe the most feminine thing I can think of a man doing.I wonder if it’s because Axl just has a thing for models. I hope that’s the case. Regardless, Guns N’ Roses will play “a series of intimate shows then continue with additional stops through the northeast,” says a press release.
We have those dates at the end of this post.
Six shows confirmed so far include the band’s historic return to The Ritz (now Webster Hall), 24 years after the filming of their heralded “Live At The Ritz,” an MTV concert that continues to be one of the most sought after trades in bootleg circles.
For the Webster Hall date, GN’R will celebrate their return by reclaiming the venue as The Ritz with signage and the name appearing on the marquee.
The New York takeover in February marks the first time the band will appear at Roseland and Terminal 5. It’s kind of cool that GN’R will be playing a bunch of small venues. I guess I will try to make it out to one of the New York shows. So long as Axl’s paying my way.
A ticket pre-sale is set for January 31 at 10 a.m. EST for the New York shows, and a public on-sale is set for February 1. The Chicago, Silver Spring and Atlantic City pre-sale is set February 1 at 10:00 a.m. EST, with the public on-sale set for February 3.
