Guns N’ Roses Does Dubai

The reunion tour of the century continues to make strides in visiting just about every major venue on the face of the planet. Dubai’s Autism Rocks Arena is the latest spot to welcome the phenomenon known as Guns N’ Roses.

The Autism Rocks Arena, in partnership with Hard Rock Café Dubai, will host the rockers March 3.

“I wanna go, I wanna go, oh won’t you please take me home? For one night only our Autism Rocks Arena doubles up as Paradise City,” 117Live CEO Thomas Ovesen says. “It is not often we can present such a legendary act and what will be a fantastic 30,000-capacity show and I am thrilled to welcome Guns N’ Roses to Dubai for the very first time. Despite the expanded venue capacity this is not a ticket to hold out for – get yours before it is too late.”

The “Not In This Lifetime” tour kicked off in April, reuniting bassist Duff McKagan and guitarist Slash with frontman Axl Rose, who had been the only founding member of GNR left in the lineup. Rose’s former bandmates, who had been with GNR since its 1987 debut, Appetite for Destruction, split from the group in the ‘90s.

The current lineup is rounded out by Dizzy Reed on keyboard, Richard Fortus on rhythm guitar, Frank Ferrer on drums and Melissa Reese on keyboard.
