Re: GNR playing Hockenheimring/Germany in July
I´ve just read it in the metro. Bild is Germany`s biggest tabloid and they know their shit. Interesting point is, they say that Gnr had to wait until January for the announcement, because of Slash`s divorce.
Re: GNR playing Hockenheimring/Germany in July
this is all over german news since a couple of days. the Hockenheimring thing obviously since today. and it`s all about axl and slash. BILD was the only one stating that it`s unsure wether Izzy will be there or not. for the general public it doesn`t matter who else is there.
Re: GNR playing Hockenheimring/Germany in July
There's a few reports on Glastonbury, but the headliners there have there booked for at least six months, with Adele being a possible amendment to one of them in November (probably Prince who they supposedly book every year and he cancels every year). They also are unlikely to pay anywhere near what GN'R are asking of festivals. Stranger things have happened, but there has not been any chatter at all like we had with the Coachella thread.

It looks like a probable venue, and it also gives an indication as to what type of venue they are aiming for in Europe. By cross sectioning other bands that have played the same venue and AEG we can come up with other venues in Europe
Re: GNR playing Hockenheimring/Germany in July
Does the article say this will be the only show in Germany? If so, although it is not great for Germany, it does add credence to the virtual festivals story which says GN'R will only be doing one large outdoor show in England in London. Two stories in tandem with each other.
So we need to find bands who have done a tour of Europe at one venue in each country, and link in AEG to it all. Or something to that effect
Slash's divorce is also mentioned. I remember reading about that on another forum so kudos to them for considering that. It's obviously a big factor in the timeline of the reunion and is therefore of interest.
Re: GNR playing Hockenheimring/Germany in July
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.

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
