Guns N' Roses for Glastonbury?

05 December 2016, 10:52 | Written by Laurence Day

Are Guns N' Roses set to headline Glastonbury 2017? Their new tour dates position them in the area with time to kill.

The long-feuding rockers eventually patched things up earlier this year for their massive Not In This Lifetime tour - the first time Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan had shared a stage as Guns N' Roses for many years.

Not In This Lifetime is now headed across the Atlantic for more than 30 stadium dates, including a one in London on 16 June. Earlier this year the band were the bookies' favs to top the bill at Glastonbury, and there's a convenient gap in their European jaunt if they fancy popping back from the continent for a bit - there's a neat little opening on Sunday, 25 June between Belgian and Danish dates.

They'd also theoretically be in the frame to headline the Isle Of Wight Festival - although organiser John Giddings has already put the kibosh on those rumours - and Download Festival.
