Re: GNR In Central America
Guns have already confirmed summer dates in Europe. It's the best time for a band of their scale to tour there. Arena shows are likely to be intermitted with festival appearances, securing the widest possible exposure. Since the current leg is to be extended to mid-April, the plan does seem to be to kick the European leg off in late May. I wouldn't be surprised should there be some warm-up club dates (secret or not) in the US in May, though.
Europe from late May to late July, probably.
August off.
US in September, probably, up until November/December. They need to hit the US market again at some point, but I personally think they're playing it smart by allowing the band and production gel during a detour through softer markets. This also makes US promoters more lenient as the Guns keep delivering in other places. Also, the tour planning should be better than what it was during Merck's time, as there's no album hassle involved and they basically have more time to prepare their US comeback.
For the optimal result, though, I think they'd need an opener on the level of the NIN/JA tour. Something to fit GNR's sound and go well with the fanbase (and vice versa). Otherwise, they should downscale from an overload of arenas to amphitheatres. Nothing wrong with doing places like Madison Square Garden, as they're guaranteed sell-outs, but I'd rather see them doing smaller places on the side.
