april 1 , 2016
the full tour announcement came on april 1, 2016, when the band announced 20 cities as part of a north american leg of the tour dubbed "not in this lifetime...". the tour's name is a reference to a 2012 interview in which rose, when asked about when a potential reunion would happen, responded "not in this lifetime." the reunion was billed as a "regrouping" by the band instead of a full reunion, since slash and mckagan were filling empty spots in the existing band lineup. additional dates in chicago, new england, new york, and los angeles were announced on april 25 due to shows selling out. on may 18, alice in chains and lenny kravitz were announced as openers for select shows of the tour. two weeks before the tour began, the cult, chris stapleton, billy talent, and skrillex were announced as additional openers for select shows. on june 30, wolfmother and tyler bryant & the shakedown were announced for several shows. zakk wylde was added as an additional opener to the band's show of august 15 in glendale, arizona.
