There appears to be a logical sequence to the Download Festival.
November 2015 - Andy Copping announces on Twitter that he has sent out his first headline offer for DL2017. Copping has said that this band ultimately accepted the offer, without naming who it was. Copping also said it was quite early for an offer, they normally go out later.
December 2015 - Loaded published an 'out there' story that GN'R were playing IOW and Download in 2017. It was 'out there' because it appeared at the time nonsensical that GN'R would wait one and a half years before touring Europe. Copping poo poo'd it, but that was reasonable as no offers would have been accepted at this time. The journalist of the piece is a known journo in the UK, who now works for NME. It is reasonable to assume that offers had been made by both festivals, and that was all at this moment in time
January 2016 - Although I missed this earlier in the year, on the Efestivals forum, someone was told by Hellfest that GN'R were not touring Europe in 2016. This adds credibility to the December story. This also adds credibility to links to Hellfest this year. The Hellfest crew only went back to work this week, so no bands will have been booked and confirmed before this week.
Mid 2016 - Lots of activity here. Copping spoke publicly about GN'R, there was a open offer made to GN'R, Copping mentioned they had been speaking for months, Copping mentioned no headliners had been booked at that point, and Copping also went to the London ACDC gig and hung out with Axl, Duff and Slash and there were also tweets.
August 2016 - Two sources in three days mention GN'R are playing Download. One via the band, one via the promoter. Metal Talk, one of the sources, were the first site to mention GN'R's line up back in January and is run by someone who is well connected. One must presume that the offer was accepted first half of August/late July

Pinkpop has moved, so if it is festivals we could have a sequence now;
Rock AM Ring, Rock IM Park, Germany - 2nd-4th June (From promoter, via Paul Skinner, not confirmed)
Pinkpop, Netherlands - 5th-7th June (From promoter, via Paul Skinner, not confirmed)
Sweden Rock Festival, Sweden - 7th-10th June
Download Festival, UK - 9th-11th June
Download Festival, France - 9th - 11th June
Aerodrome Festival, Czech Republic - 15th-17th June
Novarock, Austria - 15th-17th June
Rock in Rome, Italy - 17th-24th June (?)
TW Classic, Rock Werchter, Belgium - 24th June
I cannot see GN'R playing Hellfest. I also think Novarock and Aerodrome must go together, same promoter. Novarock was moved, Pinkpop was moved.
Denmark (Roskilde?), Finland could follow Belgium. Spain and Portugal July (or Mad Cool between 17th and 24th). Switzerland could squeeze in early, or after Belgium

I am going to leave it a few days again. It is still looking like all festivals, which is slightly strange. One's like Hellfest are definitely ringing alarm bells for me. Le'ts see what happens and what else appears.

That fake poster didn't even try to be legit. The Stones fifth on the list? They should put down the crack pipe.
One Direction is an odd one as well haha

Let me just roll through Vienna again and also remind people not to book anything until the tour is confirmed. This is just a bit of fun.
Vienna, as a city, is strongly put forward here as a city GN'R are playing www.vk.com/gnr2017
The link takes you to the Ukranian festival travel website, Metalheads. They have been informed by the 'Organisers' of forthcoming GN'R concerts (probably festivals as they deal in festivals)in Prague and Vienna. The company that links these two is Barracuda Music.
Barracuda run Nova Rock, and the occasional fest, Krieau Rocks (which is not Rock in Vienna). Given it is GN'R, the latter makes more sense but it has not occurred since 2014. Nova Rock would be the second option, but it is 40 miles from Vienna. Rock in Vienna could happen, but does not make sense just now.

Here's a probable fake poster. Band selection too fanciful
#447 Re: Guns N' Roses » European Tour 2017 Thread » 497 weeks ago
A site that annually gathers Rock Werchter related gossip http://www.rockwerchter.com/
Says GN'R are playing TW Classic on Sat 24th June
#448 Re: Guns N' Roses » European Tour 2017 Thread » 497 weeks ago
Sonisphere has an increased amounts of concerts next year, confirmation from promoter. There are alot of big bands touring next Summer, but given K2's connection with GN'R, it is of interest

Mad Cool Festival, Spain
Mad Cool press release. Reference to cycling pants, has to be Axl
Mad Cool vuelve otro años más para repetir esa gran experiencia que aborda el ocio desde todas sus vertientes; el resultado de hacer convivir en un mismo espacio diferentes expresiones artísticas de una manera sostenible y responsable. Una celebración cultural en la que la expresión tiene su desarrollo a nivel musical, visual, fotográfico, gastronómico, cinematográfico; pero esta vez lo hará en otro recinto, el Estadio Vicente Calderón, con más novedades que iremos desgranando poco a poco, pero que incluyen la participación de unos artistas símbolos de una generación que lo cambió todo y que permitió que desde entonces, los pantalones de ciclista para hombre dejasen de ser ridículos para formar parte intrínseca de toda una nueva sociedad, la sociedad del siglo XXI
Be Cool, Be Mad

I think I'll take a Rome gig and a Slane gig please, sp1at.
Sounds good. Nothing on Ireland yet. Hopefully this is all wrong, and they'll just do some stadiums 
I am just going with the flow just now, see where it leads.
