It’s official: rockers Guns N’ Roses are hitting the road and they’ll kick off their lengthy world tour in Israel, on June 5 in Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park.

After heading to Europe for 15 concerts, the band — which includes Axl Rose, 61, Duff McKagan, 59, and Slash, 57 — will return to North America in August before wrapping things up in October in Vancouver.

Israeli promoter Live Nation is welcoming Guns N’ Roses “back to the jungle,” with another opportunity for the Israeli audience to experience something similar to the three-hour, sold-out show the band played in 2017.

One thing is for sure, Rose won’t be tossing his microphone into the crowd at the end of the show any longer, after a fan claimed she was injured, according to People Magazine.

Tickets to the June 5 show at Yarkon Park are available on Ticketmaster, starting at NIS 355 for lawn seats.
