Tour de Force

Alice in Chains to Open Several Dates on Guns N’ Roses’ Summer North American Tour (and, Uh, Lenny Kravitz too)

Alice in Chains 2016Last week when Alice in Chains announced their summer headlining tour we remarked that it seemed odd they were only traveling one direction, West Coast to East.

Now we know why! Alice in Chains will be opening for the massive Guns N’ Roses’ “reunion” tour for five dates in the Midwest. It’s a big break for AiC, and one that certainly makes sense given the overlap of both bands’ heydays. It’s also a nice bonus for ticket buyers that should make most fans happy. The GNR dates AiC will be opening are:

Thur-June 23 Detroit, MI – Ford Field
Sun-June 26 Washington, DC – FEDEXFIELD
Wed-June 29 KC, MO – Arrowhead Stadium
Fri-July 1 Chicago, IL – Soldier Field
Sun-July 3 Chicago, IL – Soldier Field

After which they’ll begin their headlining run:

7/6 — Portland, Ore. — Schnitzer Hall
7/8 — Seattle, Wash. — Paramount
7/9 — Spokane, Wash. — INB Performing Arts Center
7/11 — Salt Lake City, Utah — The Depot
7/12 — Denver, Colo. — Paramount Theater
7/15 — Cadott, Wis. — Rock Fest
7/16 — Oshkosh, Wis. — Rock USA
7/17 — Detroit, Mich. — Freedom Hill (canceled due to GNR date)
7/18 — Cincinnati, OH – Taft Theatre
7/19 — Warren, Ohio — Packard Music Hall
7/20 — Bethlehem, Pa. — Sands Events Center
7/22 — Verona, N.Y. — Turning Stone Casino
7/23 — Atlantic City, N.J. — Marc G. Etess at Taj Majal

7/26 — New York, N.Y. — Beacon Theater

Also, for those who care, Lenny Kravitz will be opening four of those GNR dates as well:

07/19 Foxborough, MA – Gilette Stadium
07/20 Foxborough, MA – Gilette Stadium
