Yep, it’s true. Guns N’ Roses are officially hotter than U2, Justin Bieber, and even Metallica this year. What? The reformed Guns N’ Roses, with Duff McKagen, Slash, and Axl reunited, are the highest grossing touring act on the planet in 2017. Their ‘Not In This Lifetime’ Tour has grossed a whopping 151.1 million dollars since January, 1st. Guns have edged out U2 and their 20th Anniversary of the ‘Joshua Tree’, at 118.2 million to take the top spot. This is great news for the band, as their live shows have received positive reviews, and Axl has been delivering on stage as well, with strong vocals, while being prompt at the same time.
Guns have their show in St. Louis next week, and have a United Center, Chicago date set for November. Have you seen the band in the last year? Were you stoked with the show? Rock acts dominate four out of the top five touring acts on the planet in 2017. Along with U2, Depeche Mode and Metallica round out the top five. Nice!
