Guns N' Roses
to Sweden Rock Festival

One of the biggest rock bands of all time, Guns N' Roses, will bring their "Chinese Democracy World Tour" to Sölvesborg and Sweden Rock Festival in June.

The worldwide tour promotes the band's latest album, Chinese Democracy, which debuted at #1 on the charts in thirteen countries including Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Finland, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, as well as the European Top 100 Albums survey.

Chinese Democracy was released on Black Frog/Geffen Records in November 2008 and reached 3 times Platinum in Canada, Platinum in Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, UK, Argentina, New Zealand and South Africa. The album is Gold in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Hungary, Holland, Sweden, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Brazil and Colombia. In the U.S., the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on February 3, 2009.

Produced by Axl Rose and Caram Costanzo, Chinese Democracy includes 14 tracks.

On this tour, singer/main man Axl Rose is accompanied by long-time keyboardist Dizzy Reed, the latter's fellow ivories tickler Chris Pitman, bassist Tommy Stinson, drummer Frank Ferrer and guitarists Richard Fortus, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal and DJ Ashba - a musical dream-team and one of the most prestigious SRF-debuts this festival has ever had the pleasure of introducing!

Guns N' Roses last played in Sweden in June 2006, when they sold out the Globe arena in Stockholm.

Fuck Festivals! ROck am RIng has a "Suprise Act" too. But the Tickets are 250 Euros. They should play normal concerts instead.

I think that means a European Tour and I really hope for a Rock in Rio Lisbon appearence.

Download 2010??

Isn't Sweden Rock the same weekend as Download? My money is on Hard Rock Calling on the 27th-28th June. This could add weight to the rumoured Finland show on June 5th.

This summer's going to be pretty, pretty good.

Download is 11-14th. It won't be the 11th because ACDC are playing the Friday. They could play Sat or Sunday. Hopefully more dates will be announced soon so we can give it a yay or nay for DL...

Also read that an announcement could be made by Andy, the booker for DL on Monday...so...could be in luck.

Been talking to my mates. If Guns do a normal gig in Stockholm, Copenhagen or Oslo we will go there instead, cause we don't really have the money for Sweden Rock (around 230 euros) But if they don't...Sweden Rock here we come! Been waiting for over 3 years for this

I'm officially attending this show as I'm off work that weekend so I'll get an early Saturday morning plane from Manchester if I can't have the Friday off. Also if I can get the Monday the 14th off I'll go to the Aalborg show as well.
