NEW YORK (AFP) - The long-in-the-making reunion of Guns N’ Roses has gone international, with the hard rockers announcing a show in Mexico City.
The band, performing for the first time in 23 years with the original lineup of Axl Rose and Slash, posted a video on its website giving an April 19 date for a concert at the Foro Sol stadium.
The show will come halfway between the rockers' two performances at the Coachella festival, which takes place over back-to-back weekends in the California desert.
After announcing the Coachella reunion, Guns N’ Roses scheduled additional concerts for early April in Las Vegas.
Guns N' Roses, marked by Rose’s raw but soaring voice and Slash's intricate guitar, enjoyed extraordinary success with 1987 album “Appetite for Destruction,” which remains the top-selling U.S. debut ever.
But tensions were never far from the surface and the band’s classic lineup last played together in 1993 in Buenos Aires.
The band, which has received years of lucrative offers for a reunion, is reportedly looking at a wider tour.
