“ The reunited band released two singles last year, “Absurd” and “Hard Skool,” both outtakes from the 2008 “Chinese Democracy” album. Slash recently told music magazine NME that there could be new music coming from the band as soon as this summer. So there’s at least the potential for a preview at Welcome to Rockville.”

DAYTONA BEACH — For the second consecutive day, a series of severe thunderstorms besieged the Welcome to Rockville music festival on Saturday at Daytona International Speedway, washing out at least half a dozen scheduled performances including highly anticipated headliner Guns N’ Roses.
After frustrated fans were herded to shelter in the Speedway grandstand or in their vehicles during multiple delays caused by lightning-laden storms that occasionally packed potential for high winds and quarter-sized hail, Los Angeles-based festival promoter Danny Wimmer Presents finally pulled the plug on the proceedings a little before 10 p.m.

GUNS N' ROSES was forced to cancel its headlining appearance Saturday night (May 21) at Welcome To Rockville after inclement weather once again forced the music festival to shut down early.
Several other artists, including Jerry Cantrell and SHINEDOWN, only managed to play abbreviated sets at the event, which is being held at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Disgruntled attendees are making their complaints known via social media, including mentions of how the evacuations were poorly organized. Also of note is that the Welcome To Rockville’s cancelation policy states that “no refunds or exchanges will be given for inclement or severe weather that necessitates an evacuation, delay or cancelation in part or whole of the event.”
“Tonight’s cancelation at Welcome to Rockville was a massive disappointment,” Slash tweeted on Saturday night after the Guns N’ Roses set was called off. “We were really looking forward to the show. But the weather had other ideas. We sympathize with all you guys who got rained out along with us, it fucking sucks. Another time, sooner than later!”

Re: Rockville coverage
What a bummer. Also one of the rare GnR cancellations you can’t be mad at the band!

Re: Rockville coverage
With no US dates on the books I entertained the idea of going. Like maybe 20% chance I would. Cant imagine if I left for the night or 2 with a 2 month old in the house and the show got fucking canceled. My wife would be ecstatic i’m sure.
Does anyone here remember the wait to get in the doors the first Vegas show of the reunion (their second concert). It was raining the crowd was restless and I had a reallllly bad feeling everything fell off the rails.

I remember that well. I was there in line with some other forum members (Bono, Smoking Guns, and some other Aussie mates that had flown over), and yeah, waiting outside, I was expecting the worst.
As we all know, it ended up being all ok, but due to the late door opening to the venue, I missed most of AIC’s set, while waiting in line at the merch table.
