Guns N’ Roses keep tour alive and will bring it to the Gorge

The Guns N’ Roses “Not In This Lifetime” tour is continuing into 2017, with a stop at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George on the agenda.

The tour, which landed at CenturyLink in Seattle back in August, features frontman Axl Rose, Duff McKagan (bass), Slash (lead guitar), Dizzy Reed (keyboard), Richard Fortus (rhythm guitar), Frank Ferrer (drums), and Melissa Reese (keyboard). The band will be on the banks of the Columbia River on Sept. 3 – Labor Day weekend.

(The Dave Matthews Band, which has played the Gorge over Labor Day weekend for more than a decade, is taking a hiatus from touring in 2017.)

The only other stop in the region will be Sept. 1 at B.C. Place in Vancouver.

Tickets for the Gorge show go on sale through Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. Saturday. Prices are $90 to $275. Tickets for the Vancouver show are available at 10 a.m. Friday, with a beginning price of $35 for upper bowl seats.
