AceShowbiz - Guns N' Roses have extended their reunion tour by signing up to headline this year's "Louder Than Life" festival in Kentucky.
The show, set for September, will be the band's first of 2019.
Slash, Axl Rose and Duff McKagan last performed together with Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer, and Melissa Reese in Hawaii at the end of last year (December 2018).
Since regrouping for the "Not In This Lifetime Tour" in 2016, the trio has played more than 150 shows for over 5 million fans in stadiums and arenas worldwide.
The full "Louder Than Life" line-up will be announced on Monday, April 08, just before tickets go on sale.
Meanwhile, Slash's ex-wife Perla Hudson has teamed up with bosses at Julien's Auctions to sell off her former husband's gear.
The Beverly Hills Estate sale will include furniture, pinball machines, and a games table from the pair's old home.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the charity Youth Emerging Stronger (YES).
This years #LouderThanLife is bigger than EVER.
