Guns N’ Roses have unfortunately been hit by the coronavirus pandemic just like everyone else. This year’s European tour was supposed to continue as planned, however things were forced to change.
Earlier this year the band made the announcement that the 2020 tour would be changing to accommodate the ongoing pandemic climate.
And today the band announced exactly how much things are changing – and it’s not good news for everyone.
Posting on their Twitter account, the band revealed the new European tour details which are a little different.
The tour includes one show in Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Ireland, Scotland, and Germany.
Meanwhile the UK gets two back-to-back shows in London at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Alongside the new dates, the band made a short statement.
“Hey Gunners,” it read. “Picking up where we left off last week, most of our 2020 European tour dates are being rescheduled to June of 2021.
“The dates kick off in Lisbon, Portugal on June 2, 2021.”
However, the statement isn’t full of good news, as the band continued to detail some cancelled shows.
The statement went on: “Unfortunately, due to routing and venue availability issues that developed during the postponement process a select few shows were not able to be rescheduled and have been cancelled.
“We are forever grateful for your understanding and continued support during these unprecedented times.
“We are looking forward to getting back onstage.”
A number of events were cancelled, it seems, as Poland, Czech Republic, and Netherlands are just a few of the countries no longer getting any GNR appearances.

Fans of the band gave a number of mixed emotions to this news, with many replying on Twitter with questions.
One wrote: “Why 2 dates in London and not in Italy?”
Another said: “And still nothing in France ? You know in Lyon, we’ve got a new huge stadium that could welcome you…”
While this is certainly not great news for all fans, it comes after incredible news of a brand new vinyl being released in September.
The brand new 2LP vinyl set is going to be released on September 25, and will have a number of different formats.
Included in the set is a limited edition picture disc version, and a gold, white, and red splatter vinyl.
It will also include a new single: Shadow of your Love.
