Posted on April 4, 2017 by Oran

Well, it’s the gig that most people have been talking about all year and with tickets selling out in lightning speed the rumours began to circulate as to who would be the potential opening band(s) for one of the biggest rock band’s on the planet right now. So, get ready to be either totally disappointed or jumping for joy, as Overdrive reveals the full line-up for Guns n’ Roses at Slane Castle next month. 

Guns N’ Roses return to Slane Castle on Saturday 27th May for their sold-out concert with their Not In This Lifetime Tour, 25 years since they last played the legendary venue.

MCD Promotions have confirmed the following band’s that will be taking to the stage with the task of warming up the vast crowd.

Royal Blood

Royal Blood, Mark Lanegan & Otherkin have just been added to the bill as special guests, completing the day’s entertainment.

Speaking this morning, Lord Henry Mountcharles stated “I am delighted with this lineup. Royal Blood is a really exciting act and I am thrilled they are on the bill. The local connection with Otherkin is special.”

Brighton based drum n bass duo Royal Blood released their self-titled debut album in 2014, which went to Number 1 in Ireland. The BRIT award winners are renowned for their high-energy live show.

American grunge star Mark Lanegan’s new album Gargoyle, set for release on 28th April, has been garnering stellar reviews.

Otherkin are a grunge-pop (yes, you read that right. grunge-pop!!!!) band from Dublin, fronted by Slane local Luke Reilly. Their debut album is due out later this year.

Guns N’ Roses’ sold all 80,000 general admission tickets when they went on sale last December.
