After miraculously convincing Axl Rose to join him onstage at Stagecoach 2022, and again, at her LA headline concert earlier this year, Carrie Underwood will return the favor and open for Guns N’ Roses when the band plays Nashville on their summer 2023 tour. Underwood joined the GNR stage in full in London last summer, and it’s a fair bet fans will see her again in Music City amid Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan.
In addition to the Nashville appearance at Geodis Park, Underwood will open two Guns N’ Roses shows in Canada. The band, which reunited for the most part in 2016, has announced the remaining openers for their next tour: Chrissy Hynde and the Impersonators will support them on multiple dates, including a newly announced show at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Honey, grunge icons Alice in Chains and Mexican sibling trio Warning will feature each game they choose.
Underwood is an unabashed Axl Rose superfan who often covers GNR songs at her own concerts. “I’ve been covering Guns N’ Roses my whole life, pretty much and definitely on stage for the last 15 years,” she said. A rolling stone In the year In 2022, she learned how to sing impersonating Rose. “I would pick very strong vocalists to try to emulate, and his voice always fascinated me. ‘How is he doing the things he’s doing?’ I said.”
Rose last performed on the Underwood stage in Los Angeles in March during GNR’s “Welcome to the Jungle.” Along with their summer headlining tour, Guns N’ Roses will join AC/DC, Iron Maiden and Metallica at the Indio, California Power Trip Festival in October.
