So GNR will play Reading on Friday and Leeds on Sunday, but how does that mean no arena tour?

they musta signed an exclusive clause, it's pretty normal for reading & major festival headliners.
i can't link but it's in the press release about it being GnR's only UK shows. try google news.
EDIT - The PA has it that the will be their "only UK FESTIVAL appearances"
the site i first read (getbracknell) omitted the word 'festival' which led me to ASSume there'd be no further UK shows. now i think there will be..

Seems more likely that they agreed not to play any other festivals, rather than not playing any kind of other shows whatsoever.

Hmmm what to do what to do.....?

Leeds is closer but the Sunday night will more likely have more drunken pricks looking to provoke Axl. Reading is quite a trek but its on the Friday and should have a good atmosphere with people not as intoxicated and excited about the weekend ahead.

These festivals are a tough gig, expect controversy 16

Also the media in the UK have chosen a side, and it comes in top hatted form...

Back in 06 Download claimed for a while that the show at Donnington would be GNR's only UK appearance and we know how that turned out. I'm going to sit tight on this one, day tickets won't sell out for a few months yet and if they announce an arena tour I'd rather go to that even though I live in Leeds.

On a positive for everyone else outside the UK, Radio 1 and the BBC are usually all over these festivals so I'd expect a large quantity of pro shot footage to be readily accessible, they might even broadcast the whole set live if we're lucky.
