Summary The band announced on its website that it would also play on April 8 and 9 at the new T-Mobile Arena
NEW YORK (AFP) - Hard rock legends Guns N Roses on Tuesday announced two more concerts for their reunion, which is shaping up to be one of the year s most coveted tickets.
Guns N Roses were revealed earlier this month as the headliners for California s Coachella festival, with singer Axl Rose and guitarist Slash performing together after 23 years.
The band announced on its website that it would also play on April 8 and 9 at the new T-Mobile Arena that is opening on the Las Vegas Strip.
The concerts threaten to steal some thunder from Coachella as they will come before Guns N Roses take the stage at the festival on April 16 and April 23.
Coachella, one of the world s most prominent and profitable festivals, takes place over two consecutive weekends. Tickets quickly sold out after the lineup announcement.
Guns N Roses roared onto the global music scene in 1987 with "Appetite for Destruction," which remains the top-selling US debut album ever.
The band won critical praise for merging Rose s soaring range and raw anger with Slash s intricate guitar, but the pair also had well-publicized off-stage tensions.
The original lineup last played together in 1993 in Argentina at the end of the "Use Your Illusion" tour, although Rose kept leading Guns N Roses without Slash.
The Los Angeles rockers are believed to have long received multimillion-dollar offers for a reunion.
