Guns 'N' Roses have conformed the full line-up for their appearance at Slane, Co. Meath this summer. Part of their mammoth 'Not In This Lifetime' world tour, the most dangerous band in the world will play their only Irish date at the celebrated site on 27th May.
Joining the Gunners for the sold out show, which sees the band returning 25 years aafter they first played Slane, will be special guests Royal Blood, Mark Lanegan, and Otherkin.
Speaking this morning, about the additions, Lord Henry Mountcharles stated: “I am delighted with this line up. Royal Blood is a really exciting act and I am thrilled they are on the bill. The local connection with Otherkin is special.”
Brighton based drum n bass duo Royal Blood released their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album in 2014, which went to Number 1 in Ireland. The BRIT award winners are renowned for their high-energy live show.
Elsewhere on the bill, American grunge star and former Queens Of The Stone Age collaborator Mark Lanegan’s new album 'Gargoyle', set for release on 28th April, has been garnering stellar reviews.
Finally, Otherkin are a grunge-pop band from Dublin, fronted by Slane local Luke Reilly. Their debut album is due out later this year.
Across the full run of dates which can be viewed below, the band has added the likes of The Darkness, Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons, The Kills and Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown as special guests.
The 'Not In This Lifetime Tour' has sold over two million tickets throughout 2016, while also grossing over $200 million to become the year’s most successful rock tour proving beyond a doubt that the attitude, spirit and influence of both Guns N’ Roses and the rock & roll genre are as strong as ever. The history-making 'Not In This Lifetime Tour', which visited twenty-one cities in less than two months, wrapped the first North America leg last summer before setting its eyes on South America. In South America, the band completely sold out all fifteen dates of the tour, including thirteen stadium dates.
