Guns N’ Roses and LCD Sound system, two of the most influential bands in recent decades, will both get back together for the Coachella music festival in April.
Coachella, which takes place over two consecutive weekends in the California desert, confirmed the long-rumoured reunions as it announced its line-up late Monday.
The concerts are expected to mark the first time that the original line-up of Guns N’ Roses — including singer Axl Rose and guitarist Slash — have performed together since July 1993 in Buenos Aires.
The Los Angeles-based hard rockers confirmed the dates on their website with a video of a giant concert reminiscent of the band’s heyday.
Rose is heard — with a profanity added — singing one of the most famous lines from the band’s repertoire: “You know where you are? You’re in the jungle, baby.”
Guns N’ Roses have kept playing in name in recent years but without Slash, who has long said it was too difficult to work with Rose.
The singer, who rarely gives interviews, had been scheduled to speak Tuesday on the late-night talk show of Jimmy Kimmel.
But Rose’s name inexplicably disappeared Monday from Kimmel’s list of guests on the show’s website.
