CBS) Guns N' Roses will set up shop in New York during Fashion Week.

The rockers have lined up three Manhattan shows for next week, including a gig at Webster Hall. It's been 24 years since Guns N' Roses played the venue (then called The Ritz). And in the spirit of the occasion, Webster Hall will be renamed "The Ritz" (on the marquee) just for the night. Also scheduled are shows in Chicago, Atlantic City and Silver Spring, Md.

Pre-sale tickets are already on sale for the New York dates, with general on-sale starting Wednesday. Tickets and VIP packages for all six dates will be available at at the group's website.

Guns N' Roses recently wrapped up an arena tour, playing more than 30 shows in the United States. The band will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 14.

Guns N' Roses' most recent album, "Chinese Democracy," was released in November 2008.

Tour dates:

Feb. 10 - New York - Roseland Ballroom

Feb. 12 - New York - Terminal 5

Feb. 15 - New York - The Ritz (Webster Hall)

Feb. 19 - Chicago - House of Blues

GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE CLUB SHOWS FOR EARLY FEBRUARY 2012, INLCUDING 3 SMALL NYC DATES

http://www.nj.com/entertainment/music/index.ssf/2012/01/guns_n_roses_announce_four_are.html

If you've got a predilection for veteran hard rock bands, you're going to love February. The month kicks off with Tool at the Izod Center and concludes with Van Halen at MSG; in between, Rise Against comes to Camden's Susquehanna Bank Center (Feb. 4) and Foreigner plugs in at Count Basie (Feb. 15). And earlier today, Guns N' Roses announced four dates in the area -- Feb. 10 at Roseland Ballroom, Feb. 12 at Terminal 5, Feb. 14 at Webster Hall, all in New York City; and Feb. 24 at the House of Blues in Atlantic City.

These are substantially smaller venues than the ones Guns N' Roses played on its last tour. The hard rock band appeared at Izod Center last November; there, the group began at 11 p.m. and played until 2 in the morning. Guns N' Roses did not sell out the arena.

Guns N' Roses has never played Roseland or Terminal 6, but the group did play Webster Hall 24 years ago when it was called the Ritz. The Guns N' Roses performance at the Ritz in 1988 remains legendary among fans of the band, and to celebrate the occasion, the Webster Hall marquee will be modified to look like the one at the old Ritz. That show, however, was played by a very different version of G N' R -- frontman Axl Rose is the only member left from the lineup that recorded the hard rock classic "Appetite For Destruction." The current Guns N’ Roses team features guitarists Bumblefoot Thal, DJ Ashba and Richard Fortus, synth players Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman, bassist Tommy Stinson (a former Replacement) and drummer Frank Ferrer.

Tickets for the New York City shows go on sale to the public on Wednesday, Feb. 1. Tickets for the Atlantic City show go on sale Feb. 3 at 10 a.m.

How awesome would it be if the original band walked on stage at the Ritz for the start of a reunion.

But that's too perfect to actually happen. GNRs return to the Ritz this is not, "GNRs" return to the Ritz, this is.
