The Guns N' Roses 2020 Tour[1] is a ongoing concert tour by hard rock band Guns N' Roses.
Background[]
After a one-off show on January 31, 2020, in Miami in conjunction with Super Bowl LIV, the band was slated to tour Central and South America in March and April. The first tour date took place as scheduled on March 14, 2020, in Mexico City as part of the Vive Latino Festival (where they return to play "So Fine" with Duff McKagan on vocals, which has not happened since 1993), in spite of the rapid advance of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Although it was announced two days later on March 16, 2020, that the remaining Latin American dates had been postponed until October through December 2020, the shows would later be postponed indefinitely.
On May 11, 2020, the band announced on Twitter that the European leg of the tour, which was originally scheduled to begin on May 20 in Lisbon, Portugal, had been cancelled.[3]
On May 20, 2020, the band announced that the North American leg of the tour was "being rescheduled out of an abundance of caution."[4][5] The postponed leg was originally slated to begin on July 4 in Milwaukee and end on August 26 in Missoula, Montana.
The now-cancelled August 8 appearance at SoFi Stadium in the Los Angeles area would have been (in addition to being the band's return to their home town) the first rock and roll show at the new stadium.
On November 19, 2020, the band announced 8 new Oceania dates. The Oceania tour is scheduled to begin on November 6, 2021, in Gold Coast, Australia, before wrapping things up on November 24, 2021, in Perth, Australia.[6] The Toronto date for July 26 was cancelled on June 1, 2021. [7]
On August 3, 2021 at Fenway Park in Boston, the band played "Absurd", a reworking of the song "Silkworms" from the Chinese Democracy sessions, performed live four times back in 2001.[8]
