Re: 2026 Tour Dates
Would love to know why they’re skipping Boston this year.
The world cup.

The dates don't line up; WC in Boston is June 13 - July 9th. Maybe in between the Tinley Park and Toronto shows? Would be odd to skip the Boston area all together.

Only Zach Byran and Ed Sheeran are booked at Gillette next year so far as music acts. So they must not think they can fill the stadium.
Fenway park has the Red Sox with home games against the the White Sox the 4th, 5th, 6th the Athletics 7th, 8th, 9th.
Early August would be the dates that would make sense for a Boston show.

Re: 2026 Tour Dates
Friday 8/14 at Fenway? Might be a tight squeeze-unless they are travelling with 2 stages/crews?

It’s certainly bizarre. The Boston area has been a staple on every NA tour I can recall.

Re: 2026 Tour Dates
Surprisingly....this news was on my local news last night. I never hear about GNR on the news. It was for the tour obviously but what caused me to sit up was the mention of two songs.
When I looked at the tour dates just now, makes me wonder why the local news even covered it. They are skipping the bay area and northern California completely.
Possibly the first sign the nostalgia tour has run its course?
Definitely.
When a major band starts skipping entire regions, the jig is just about up.
We'll get the farewell/anniversary shindig after this round.
Honestly, I don't even care anymore. I just want a few more songs to wrap it all up.
Give me Oklahoma and I don't even need anymore.
