(antiMusic) South American heavy rock fans are looking at a great 2010 with two heavy weight bands planning tours on their continent. A few weeks ago Metallica announced their plans to head south and now their former co-headlining touring partners, Guns N' Roses, have announced plans to play there too. And no they are not touring together. The official Guns N' Roses myspace was updated on Thanksgiving Day with news that the band were planning a South American tour that will kick off on March 10th and run for a month, ending on April 10th. Dates have not yet been announced.
There is hope for U.S. too. In the same Myspace posting, the band reminds fans that they are planning to tour Canada this January, with a run ending on February 4th. This leaves a month long window open for them to play some U.S. dates but that is pure speculation at this point.
Before all of this action kicks off in the Western hemisphere, Guns N' Roses have lined up some December dates in the Far East including Taiwan, South Korea and Japan.
