Guns N’ Roses are legendary performers who consistently play to packed out stadiums, as a result they have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, therefore fans heading for the du Arena on Yas Island can anticipate a blitz of a show, from these much admired rock musicians.

There are strong rumours doing the rounds, that they’re making a new album.
