Guns ‘N Roses First Rock Band To Play Concert at New Los Angeles Football Stadium

1980’s hard rock legends Guns ‘N Roses are set to play the first ever rock show at SoFi Stadium, the new Los Angeles stadium that will host the Rams and Chargers in upcoming seasons, according to CBS Los Angeles. The stadium will open for the first time this summer, and GNR will take the stage on Saturday, August 8th.

SoFi Stadium is the result of a $5 billion Hollywood Park investment. Located along South Prairie Avenue, between West Manchester Boulevard and West Century Boulevard, the stadium will host country stars Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney are set to perform at the stadium prior to GNR’s show.

Though Guns ‘N Roses solidified their legacy long ago, frontman Axl Rose, lead guitarist Slash, and bassist Duff McKagan announced a reunion tour back in 2016, and have played more than 150 shows around the world since. The band announced plans to work on a new album in February of 2019, but no official release date of any new music has been announced.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
