Guns N' Roses, LCD Soundsystem to headline Coachella

INDIO, Calif. (AP) — L.A. rockers Guns N' Roses will headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, along with DJ Calvin Harris and electronic rock band LCD Soundsystem.

Passes for the two-weekend festival in Indio, California, on April 15-17 and April 22-24 go on sale Wednesday.

A statement from the band's publicist Tuesday said former members guitarist Slash and bass player Duff McKagan will join lead singer Axl Rose for the first time since 1993.

The band's debut album, "Appetite for Destruction," has sold 18 million copies in the United States, according to Recording Industry Association of America. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.

James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem wrote on the band's website Tuesday that the band will be releasing a new album five years after calling it quits in 2011.

Let's hope Axl Rose doesn't have a coronary during the performance.

Like Jimmy Kimmel said about Axel showing up for his show on the fol;lowing night , if he shows up , he has a bad rep for keeping fans waiting or no shows? Sly Stone did the same BS , big ego trippers !

I was just about to say, "isn't Axl Rose just an old, fat guy now?" It's amazing how that Slash dude has aged so much more gracefully than Axl.
