Guns 'n Roses Sell-out Australia

by Paul Cashmere - April 26 2007

The Australian leg of the Guns n' Roses world tour got off to a great start this morning when shows in Sydney and Melbourne sold out within 30 minutes.

A second show for Melbourne has now been put on sale for Saturday June 16 and a second Sydney show will happened at Acer Arena on June 24. These are the final shows for Australia.

Despite a false start to the world tour following an accident by band member Tommy Stinson, the Aussie fans opened their wallets as a sign of the faith that the show will go on.

Promoter Paul Dainty told Undercover that he expects Brisbane and Adelaide to sell-out today but there will be no more shows.

Dainty also reports there will be no issues with Tommy Stinson by the time the tour is due in Australia. "I've had a medical certificate from the doctor. He will be fine," Paul tells Undercover News. "There was a concern at one stage but he will definitely be okay by the time the Australian tour rolls around".

"It is all systems go," he says. "Stand by for an awesome tour".

Lucky bastards! I was there last night and you guys are in for a cracker of a show! Wish I was there again! 

[Estranged AR]

I was there last night 2. I wish I could experience all over again tonight. I'm so jealous. It's 10:30 now, so I'm sure GNR will be on shortly, maybe just over 30 minutes until they hit the stage.

It's so weird to think it is over...we won't see them in concert basically ever again... makes me want to cry man. I mean the probability of them hitting our shores again is very low. I'm bummed.
