US hard rock band Guns N’ Roses (GNR) is to rock Taiwan with an outdoor concert at the Taoyuan International Baseball Stadium on Saturday. The show will be part of its latest “Not in This Lifetime. . . Tour.” Launched in 2016, the tour has spanned several continents with 159 shows performed or scheduled so far.
It has been nine years since GNR’s previous visit to Taiwan, in 2009. The iconic band is praised as one of the “50 Bands to See Before You Die” by Q magazine. The ongoing tour features the original members Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan, and it is the first time the three have performed together since 1993.
GNR rose to fame with its first album selling 30 million copies worldwide, making it the bestselling debut album in music history. Hits include Sweet Child O’ Mine, November Rain and Welcome to the Jungle. Very few tickets for the standing areas at the Saturday show are still available for purchase.
