Guns N’ Roses Concert Forced to Relocate Due to MLB Playoffs

The popular rock band changed its venue to allow the Diamondbacks to host the Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLDS.

Guns N’ Roses, the popular Los-Angeles based rock band, announced Friday that it would change venues for its Oct. 11 concert date to allow the Diamondbacks to host the Dodgers in Game 3 of the National League Division Series.

Initially, the rock band was expected to perform at Chase Field in downtown Phoenix. Now, the band will perform its show at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre. 

The Diamondbacks swept the Brewers in the NL wild card series, registering their first multi-game playoff series victory since 2007.

The first two games between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks will take place at Dodger Stadium with Game 1 of the NLDS on Saturday. Game 3 of the series is set for Wednesday.

During the first two weeks of the 2023 season, the Diamondbacks won five of their eight contests against the Dodgers. However, Los Angeles earned wins against Arizona in the last five meetings in the season, to take the season series eight games to five. 

First pitch for Saturday’s game in L.A. is set for 9:20 p.m. ET.
