Guns N' Roses to play New Year's show in Las Vegas
Guns N’ Roses will play a 1 a.m. concert on Jan. 1 at House of Blues in Las Vegas, just one hour after New Year’s revelers ring in 2001. It will be the group’s first live concert in seven years.
A limited number of tickets to the show are being sold via an Internet pre-sale that began at noon Pacific Time on Wednesday (12/6) through the ArtistDirect.com ticketing site. Tickets will go on sale through traditional outlets on Friday afternoon, according to ArtistDirect.
The latest incarnation of Guns N’ Roses--which reportedly features Axl Rose (the group’s only original member), Guitarists Robin Finck and Buckethead, bassist Tommy Stinson and keyboardist Dizzy Reed--was previously expected to make its live debut at Brazil’s Rock in Rio festival in January.
Earlier this year, Guns N’ Roses’ management announced that the band was working on a new album titled "Chinese Democracy," and that a summer 2001 tour was in the works.
