The current incarnation of the Los Angeles-based band includes Axl Rose, Frank Ferrer, Tommy Stinson, Richard Fortus, Ron (Bumblefoot) Thal, Dizzy Reed, Chris Pitman and Dj Ashba.
They will also appear in:
- Calgary.
- Edmonton.
- Saskatoon.
- Regina.
- Hamilton, Ont.
- London, Ont.
- Montreal.
- Toronto.
- Ottawa.
- Quebec City.

Chinese Democracy was released last year after more than a decade of delays, but the band doesn't begin touring in support of it until December. They will tour Taiwan, South Korea and Japan before going on to Canada.
