LOS ANGELES, CA
(January 30, 2012) – Seminal rock icons, Guns N’ Roses, are set to invade New
York during fashion week with a series of intimate shows then continue with
additional stops through the northeast, announced today. Six shows confirmed so far including the historic return to The Ritz (now Webster Hall), 24
years after the filming of their heralded “Live At The Ritz” – the MTV concert
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,
beginning on February 10, 2012. Full list of dates below.

Guns N’ Roses have just
come off their sold-out global 2011 arena tour, with more than 30 shows in the
US, visits to Latin America and
multiple festivals, having played to millions of fans around the globe.
Celebrated worldwide as
one of the most important rock acts in musical history,
Guns N’ Roses are Axl Rose, DJ Ashba (guitar), Dizzy Reed (keyboards), Tommy
Stinson (bass), Richard Fortus (guitar), Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (guitar), Chris Pitman (keyboards) and Frank Ferrer (drums). Founder Axl Rose started Guns N’ Roses over
25 years ago and since that time, they have become one of the biggest bands in
music history, selling more than 100
million albums worldwide. GN’R’s
major-label debut, “Appetite For Destruction,” has sold over 28 million albums
in the United States
alone. The ground-breaking album changed
the course of music with such classic hits as “Welcome The Jungle,” “Paradise
City,” and the
chart-topping single, “Sweet Child of Mine.”
The band’s third studio release, Use
Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion
II, was the first double album release in history
to nab both the top spots on the Billboard chart and went on to remain on the
charts for more than 108 weeks while the band spent more than 2 years on the
road to support. The ‘Illusion’ releases found the band charting new territory
in the video arena with the theatrical trilogy, “November Rain,” “Don’t Cry”
and “Estranged.” The band’s most recent
release, Chinese Democracy (Black Frog/Geffen Records), released in November
2008 and debuted #1 on the charts in thirteen countries, going platinum in 15
countries!
