Guns N' Roses have announced the opening acts for their upcoming summer and fall North American tour. The band has tapped the Pretenders, Alice In Chains, Carrie Underwood, and the Warning, respectively to serve as their special guests across their 26-date run.
New shows now on the books are August 18th at Pittsburgh's PNC Park with the Pretenders supporting and October 14th at Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena with the opening act still TBA.
Guns bassist Duff McKagan is a Seattle native and goes way back with the guys in Alice In Chains: “Yeah, they're really good friends of mine and I love those guys, and those are my homeboys and I love those songs, and Jerry (Cantrell's) an amazing songwriter.”
Guns N' Roses perform tonight (June 1st) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates at the Etihad Arena.
