Guns N' Roses announce US tour with Wolfgang Van Halen's Mammoth WVH
The run marks a pretty grand touring debut for WVH's new project
Guns N' Roses have announced rescheduled dates for their 2020 US tour, which was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
With an additional 14 dates, the tour now commences July 31 at the Hersheypark Stadium in Pennsylvania, and is set to feature Wolfgang Van Halen's Mammoth WVH as a supporting act.
This, of course, will mark a rather stratospheric touring debut for WVH, who has to date only played a handful of TV appearances, most recently with an acoustic performance of Distance on the Today Show.
The run promises a “massive touring production”, and will wrap up with two back-to-back shows at the Hard Rock Live arena in Florida on October 2 and 3.
It will see Mammoth WVH play tracks from the project's upcoming self-titled debut album, which drops June 11 via EX1 Records/ Explorer1 Music Group.
It was recently revealed that Wolfgang played Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstein guitar on two of the forthcoming album's tracks. However, it's unlikely fans will see the guitar in the flesh on the tour, as the multi-instrumentalist has repeatedly expressed his wish not to tread the same path as his late father.
Tickets for the rescheduled dates go on sale Friday June 4. For more information, head over to Guns N' Roses' website.
