Fans are buzzing as Guns and Roses' are set to return to Glasgow to play their biggest ever Scottish show.
The band - made up of current members, Axl Rose, Duff McKagan, Slash, Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer, and Melissa Reese - are set to get the crowd pumping at Glasgow Green with their iconic hard-rock riffs this summer. The tour marks Guns N’ Roses return to Europe for the third time since their historic Not In This Lifetime tour in 2016, which is the third highest grossing tour of all time.
However those attending the concert will have to be wary of extremely limited rail services across Scotland due to rail strikes as well the usual rules for concert goers. People are being asked to leave in plenty of time.
