I heard the same thing in 2006, was it about an exclusivity clause from the Download organizers? Guns had more UK dates a month after Download, tho.
Yeah, that could happen. They could do a circuit, then return further down the road.

That's shit if true.
I remember GNR playing a load of arena dates a month after Download in 06. Whether that has any relevance to a potential Wembley date who knows.
Maybe the recent AC/DC tour stopping at Olympic Park and City of Manchester is a better indicator?
Obviously, the reality is noone will truly know anything until the dates are officially announced. But for my part, I am happy to assume this information is true just now until I can prove otherwise.
As dates are being booked just now, I'll have a poke around the next few weeks to see what I can pick up.
Like you said, getting a Livenation template for a similar band would be a good starting point. I think ACDC are AEG so I would not use them. Livenation are more playful when it comes to booking venues, more variety, so it will be harder to predict.

There is going to be a Download France again, so that has to be a probable second date

Bild reported some Wembley shows in April, but that would have been based on AEG plans which never came to fruition, so we can rule that source out

Do Download insert exclusivity clauses? I don't think they do - from memory I think Metallica played shows the year they did Download?
If you're a festival, where's the appeal in paying the premium if you're not getting exclusivity?
There were a few stadium acts in England this summer. I'd imagine GnR will light upon the same sorta venues. City of Manchester Stadium n the like.
When was last time Wembley hosted a concert tho? Don't they usually use Milton Keynes Bowl or what have you? Obv Wembley is more iconic & GnR have history there, I just can't remember last time I saw it advertised for a gig. I could well be wrong tho as I'm not up to date on these things.
You could very well be right.
I was having a look back at the history of bands playing Download and I have yet to find one that played Wembley as well. I think one played Clapham Common.
I'm fairly confident on Download. So what I will need to do is to go back through the stories that mentioned Wembley and find out where they go their information from.
There is no history either of a band playing Download and The Isle of Wight Festival, but there was a Download France last year, which could be a potential second date

It will be next to impossible to get any information out of Livenation just now, unless you know someone who works there very well.
You would have to assume though, going on reports earlier this year, there is an intention to play Wembley Stadium at the very least.

Just to let you know, Metal Talk's reporting that GN'R will be at the Download Festival is something to be taken seriously.

A good promoter would tell the band to keep it simple in the beginning. Just get out there, see how many tickets sell, test how well they get on in each others company then take it from there. Adding other elements, previous members and whatever else should come later on. Financially, paying expenses then splitting the profits would also be the simplest and fairest way to go.
#460 Re: Guns N' Roses » What does a reunion mean for Axl's Vault? » 492 weeks ago
What does the reunion mean for the vaults?
Will Slash and Duff record parts for music from the vault or is it more likely that Axl will release material from the vault as solo material?
Either way it is going to be interesting to see how the reunion effects the vault.
A box set, of sorts, was being looked into in January.
If I get time, I will look into what happened with AEG and how the Livenation change happened and how it affects the future
