Re: Will new music be released in 2020?
Yea, cause millions will come to shows to see "Dead Horse", "Breakdown", "Bad Apples", and "Shotgun Blues." GN'R has pretty much stretched their entire playable catalog already. If they want to play 3-5k person shows and do deep cuts, sign me up. But anything off the Illusion albums that a causal fan would be interested in hearing is already in the rotation. Them playing "Coma", shocked me. "The Garden" isn't going to bring fans to shows.

The albums sold 40 million copies worldwide, so there would be a market for a quick worldwide tour.

30 years ago, and I'll ask again, what song from that era would someone who is willing to fork out $200 a ticket pay that to see, along with many others they probably forgot, that they aren't already hearing? Locomotive, NR, KOHD, Dead Horse, Don't Cry, DTJ, Civil War and Coma are already in the rotation and 5 of the ones I mentioned are expected just as much as SCOM and PC.

Re: Will new music be released in 2020?
I don't think UYI nostalgia has anywhere near the pull of AFD nostalgia - no where near as iconic. So I doubt the emboldened approach with regard to stadiums is UYI related. I remain positive that the 'new chapter' starts with Europe and we will start hearing more about new plans/music on the SA tour...

I’ll say this, their limited dates centered on primarily top 10 population cities in continental areas is smart. They barely hit 50% in a lot of US markets with 70k person stadiums. This consolidates sales in venues likely to sell close to capacity.
If a late 2020 release is planned, they could milk the stadium tour market dry, before launching a full bore arena tour in early 2021 if they plan to generate long term cash touring.

I don’t see the addition or seldom played UYI tracks as a reason to sell more tickets, I see that as MIXING UP THE FUCKING STALE ASS SETLIST

But that said, if recent attempts at Dead Horse are anything to go by for revisiting old UYI tunes live, maybe they should be left alone...
