Japan: Get Ready For Guns N’ Roses

After announcing dates in Australia yesterday, Guns N’ Roses tacked three January nights in Japan onto its routing as part of the “Not In This Lifetime Tour.”

The Japan shows, one in Osaka Jan. 21 and a pair in Saitama Jan. 28-29, follow a late-October and November run through South America. Soon after the Japanese shows, the Australian leg will kick off in February.

The “Not In This Lifetime Tour” marks the first time since the “Use Your Illusion” tour that Slash, Duff McKagan and Axl Rose have all played together as Guns N’ Roses. This year has already seen the band play at Coachella, nearly sell-out two nights at the 66,000-plus capacity Foro Sol in Mexico City and has moved the Guns through most major regions of the U.S.

Guns N’ Roses’ next scheduled stop is a two-night stand at Los Angeles in Dodger Stadium this weekend, followed by one more U.S. gig at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego Aug. 22. After that, the rockers are headed to South America, with performances scheduled in Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Costa Rica.

Here is the band’s 2017 routing so far, with the new Japan dates in bold:
