A ticket website listed 15th July as a possible date. It was on the site, then removed

I tip my hat to the Inforoo forum. We ended up with the right headliners for Coachella
#513 Re: Guns N' Roses » European Tour Profile and Rumours » 506 weeks ago
Russia is a difficult one. AEG play two venues, SKK in St Petersburg and the Olympic stadium in Moscow. AEG tend to avoid Russia looking at the big scheme of things, but GN'R like to play there and it is a big market. The Olympic stadium has a bigger capacity, but St Petersburg could attract people from Estonia and near places, so it is hard to call.
The minor vote goes to Moscow, but it is about GN'R wanting to play there in 2016.
#514 Re: Guns N' Roses » European Tour Profile and Rumours » 506 weeks ago
I think Bercy is Paris looks a nailed on venue. Six of the most recent artists announced there are all AEG
Capacity is a potential issue though
Stade De France is likely to meet the needs of the population
#515 Re: Guns N' Roses » European Tour Profile and Rumours » 506 weeks ago
I know this is a ridiculous question, but "Bernabau Stadium, Palau Sant Jordi - Spain" definitely isn't the very similarly named stadium in Madrid AKA home to Real Madrid?
Two different venues, Bernabau is football, Palau is part of the the Olympic complex. I am gathering different venues on the bottom list, then putting the best option above once I figure out which makes most sense. They may then get demoted again if sufficient income cannot be gained from a concert at said venue.
Working on the basis of one concert per country
Have to think about population of the country, venue capacity and the 3 million dollar expected income. Where countries are close together and have small populations, some of the venues may be avoided

Tele2 Arena in Sweden is nailed on. I'll eat a hat if GN'R are not there

This article is saying GNR are doubtful/unlikely for Glastonbury however are pencilled in as headliners for Download and Isle of Wight festivals in 2017. Not sure on their sources though, it could be us for all I know haha!
It originated from the old Channel 4 teletext music guy. I think he did get some information, but do not take anything he wrote seriously. I know Download very well, and they will not be playing there next year. Also, Download is Livenation, GN'R are AEG

The tour list below comes from cross referencing AEG artists against each other and the application of news stories and a little bit of logic (as we go).
BST Hyde Park - UK - This is AEG's flagship festival in the UK. It is a Goldenvoice man who promotes it. This is the easiest option for them to show off a reunited GN'R in the UK. We have a 65000 crowd, and you can set the prices on the day. It's a money maker, and an obvious choice. Plus, it goes along with http://www.virtualfestivals.com/feature … -hatchets/
Slane - Ireland - The tabloids in the UK are strong on this, and I see no reason to disbelieve them
Hockenheimring - Germany - The venue has links to AEG, matches to their artists and http://www.bild.de/unterhaltung/musik/g … .bild.html . The Bild and Virtual Festivals articles are in tandem, one concert in each country
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS REFERENCING RESULTS
Matches
Tele2 Arena - Sweden - (Matches all bands) AEG venue http://www.aegworldwide.com/facilities/ … tele2arena
Telenor Arena - Norway (Bieber, Rolling Stones, Adele and others, so 3+ x venue match)
Sportpaleis - Belgium (Match x5, if not playing Roskilde)
Hartwall Arena - Finland (Arena Venue match x3, most likely venue, but unikely to make 3 million dollar income. May avoid Finland)
Ernst Happel Stadium - Austria (Venue match x3)
Stade De France - France (Match x 2, higher capacity, Bercy AEG link http://www.quebecor.com/en/comm/sports- … city-arena match x3, too low capacity)
Leztigrund Stadium, Switzerland (Match x3, More rock bands play here, higher capacity, Hallenstadion Venue match x3)
Gelredome - Netherlands (Venue match x2 and high capacity, Ziggo Dome Venue match x4 but 3 million dollar income unlikely)
Parque De Bela Vista - Portugal (Match x 3, if not playing Rock in Rio)
Parken Stadium - Denmark (Match x3)
Olimpiyskiy - Russia (2 x match, AEG working on Galactica Park in Moscow, tend to avoid Russia just now, SKK slight possibility)
Venues to check
Bernabau Stadium, Palau Sant Jordi - Spain
Circus Maximus, Arena di Verona, Stadio San Siro, Fiera Arena - Italy
Arena Zagreb - Croatia
Tauron Arena, Stadion Narodowy - Poland
Eden Arena - Czech Republic
Lokomotiv Stadium - Bulgaria
(I will get this finished by Monday night, then do a news and stadium check on Tuesday)
#520 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR playing Hockenheimring/Germany in July » 506 weeks ago
So, the Rolling Stones appear to be the best match. They have played Hockenheim, they have played BST, they often do one concert in each country and they are promoted by AEG. A promoter will always want to shadow a previous tour where possible
We cross section that with Adele, playing one venue in each country and promoted by AEG
We cross section that with Justin Bieber, similar profile.
We cross section that with Rihanna, similar profile
We cross reference that with Avicii, similar profile
We cross reference that with Justin Timberlake, similar profile
We cross reference that with Aerosmith, similar profile
We cross reference that with Paul McCartney, similar profile
GN'R will be touring in July, so some will be football/soccer stadiums because football/soccer takes a break during the Summer months.
I will bolden the strong matches as we go
