In a way that’s a pity but personally I think that your headline gigs are more important now 🌹🌹🌹

Arron Brueske

So glad high ticket prices were keeping me from buying tickets to that show. Would have been a last minute thing for me. Now I don’t have to worry about it or the drive!!

Cenk Atasoy

It’s sad but I hope it’s for a better cause 🤍

JeffRW

It must be something really big they're doing if they need to cancel a show with a band of GnRs status .

Greg Gordon

One thing I know for sure after 10 years of following you ladies is never to doubt a decision made by The Warning team! 🤘❤️🤘

Stephen M. Jones

It's the only reason I purchased a ticket to that show! Crap! I hope I can resell it!

Carsten Froehlich

Time for a wild guess: MTV video music awards is scheduled at September 12

Jr Hernandez

Youre probably right. I think the last time they dropped out of something, i think it was something with STP, it ended up being because they were going to tour with Muse. That makes me think you may be right

Tim Neafsey

It may be something really good to have a conflict pop up this late. :)

JeffRW

Are they nominated for anything though? It's not like they're that big yet and would be invited to something like that.

Brian Coburn

That's too bad but then do what you need to do.

JeffRW

Unless they got a better deal to play both nights with Artic Monkeys. Perhaps that's a better kind of audience to try and appeal to over the nostalgia crowd that goes to see GnR and really wouldn't care about a younger band who opens.

YEAH

You know you love it

Manuel Esquivel

Cancelen lo que necesiten, seguramente es para un bien mayor que eventualmente será benéfico para nosotros patrons y fans por igual

Casper

Exciting!

Kari

I think you might be right. They would only cancel this concert if they were going to get more exposure elsewhere. Their management has really been pulling some ace’s when making connections and deciding what is best for DPA. Performers haven’t been announced yet and I think the time is right for rock to make a resurgence in mainstream media.

Nigel Mainwood

Already on the GnR site, being replaced by Dirty Honey.

Kari

No they are not nominated but Muse is. Plus they will will be awarding a video vanguard award maybe Muse or Metallica will receive it. Typically they have bands cover their songs. *This is wishful thinking of mine. Plus remembering the good old times of MTV VMAs.

Tarkus

If this is for a bigger exposure, a better deal or a more convenient traveling logistics go for it! Management always make the best decisions thinking about the well-being of DP&A. I trust and support their judgement.

Birgit Allenstein

Looking forward for what you announce next, good luck for all you do🫶🫶

Mark Lee

Something even bigger on the horizon then? 😯

J Grimmer

That's Rock sometimes. Plans can be fluid, but I'm sure no change like that would happen on a whim. In The Warning we trust. Looking forward to what is next for you.

Mike c

I was going to go only to see the warning. Tickets are to expensive and GnR sucks. It was cheaper for me to get a hotel and 2 tickets in Cincinnati. And I have family in Chicago to stay with. so I will see them Saturday too.

Gen Boyer

One day The Warning will be saying, " Nah, maybe some other time! Peace out Bros!"

Gman

Looking forward to hearing part 2, of this news update! ⚡ Where oh where, can TW be heading now? Hmm... 🤔

Stefan Schulz

You can be sure that they have a very good reason to do this. Let's see what's coming 🤘🏻⚡⚡⚡

Paul Sink

Thinking in the long run..and short run whatever the reason is It will bring them more respect than GNR gave them the last time they played together.Looking forward to seeing what your all doing next. Keep Rockin Dany,Pau,Ale!!

Andres Garcia

Greta Van Fleet is doing The Garden the same day. This seems the most realistic reason.

JeffRW

Not sure I see that as a bigger opportunity than opening for Guns N Roses.

Andres Garcia

GVF are label mates, younger and continue to rise. They want to capture more of the younger demographic and this is a great opportunity for them. Besides, they’re opening for GNR 2 days later.

Robert Smith

While this is sad, it is Guns and Roses who should be bummed, The Warning was the best part of that show!

Rob Bond

Interesting speculation, although there is already an opener for GVF at the Garden ("Surf Curse")

Thomas McGuirk

That's to bad , but I'm sure it was the best decision for you guys. Hey GnR has had it's time in history , now it's yours go get it ladies 😉

Juan J Rubiera

GNR sucks; focus on your own shows and open for top bands. Iron Maiden next year would put you in the major leagues.

Roberto Ramirez

The GnR of today is not the same we saw in the 80's and 90's, I see TW not opening for them as something positive. Disclaimer: The opinion expressed in this comment is that of the author, it does not purport to reflect the opinions or views of The Warning band or it's members.

Andres Garcia

I searched but couldn’t find it, thx for clearing that up. Unless the opener pulled out🤷🏽‍♂️

Mike Whitney

The suspense, I look forward to hearing what is happening instead...

Randy Andrews

I assume this has to do with a conflict of the date, not any kind of slight to GnR. If that were the case they wouldn’t be supporting them two days later in Fl. These ladies are far to classy to publicly dis a legacy band that already put them on the bill in Mexico. Although I am not a fan of GnR, opening for them is a great resume enhancer.

Roberto Ramirez

I don't remember when was the last time I watched the MTV awards or the channel, TW would be the only reason why I'd watch it again, but probably not the whole thing, the commecials about their "Reality TV" shows alone make the channel unwatchable for me, that's more cringe than I can take.

Tim Neafsey

Just noticed this is visible on Patreon without an account.

Rob Bond

Funny how some people use this little piece of news to bash the band that is providing an opportunity for TW to get exposure to a large audience, likely equivalent to 30+ regular TW shows in total audience.

Rob Bond

To find the opener you need to pretend like you are purchasing tickets (Live Nation/Ticketmaster) and then click the More Info link. They don't make it easy, LOL.

Andrew Auerbach

Agree. If something else has come up on TW side, it must be a pretty important opportunity to cancel this appearance.

Andrew Auerbach

If it is an MTV appearance (remember MTV did post their concert video of Evolve), I hope it actually involves them performing and not just announcing something like the Latin MTV show.

Chris S.

Let's all be polite!!! What we write is always 'discoverable' and TW is still on the bill for GnR in Hollywood. Be nice.

Ian Kerr

My recollection was: when TW signed on to support GNR in Knoxville and Hollywood FL, both of those shows already were sold out. Which leads me to believe GNR was looking for a good but inexpensive band to play not one second longer than 30 minutes (as TW did for them in Monterrey). It's a gig TW could afford to take for barely over the cost of expenses because they haven't performed in Tennessee or South Florida in a good long while (if ever) -- good exposure -- and they'd be able to sell their merch to several thousand fans. That said.. if they are able to book and sell out a headline gig at a 600-800 seat venue at $25-30 a ticket and offer M&G to 50-60 fans at $100 each (and they don't have to split the M&G money with the ticket broker, the venue, or the opening act) -- as AC/DC sang: "Money Talks"

Gerald Efferson

I want to see This band attract a younger crowd .Don’t get me wrong I’m 56 and they have brought me back to loving rock again ..but The younger generation is what counts not us older folks .I’m talking in the US now ..It’s great to open your own shows but where it’s at is festivals and opening for big bands …I think The next record will tell the tale.I would rather them not lose a GNR show because it’s still drawing big rock crowds even clearly when the band needs to retire ..

Ray Works

Noticed that too. Apparently Patreon posts allow the first line or two to show up even if you're not a Patreon. Probably need to consider having some filler text for future posts.

Andres Garcia

I can see this being the case. While I hope they perform (if this is the case) any kind of worldwide attention is good. Although I highly doubt they’d do this if it was only as presenters. They would only consider it if they were performing.

Tom Land

I suspect the reason this happened is probably a boring reason. The logistics of scheduling dates together is already crazy and then add issues with band members, the management companies, the record labels (I am not sure if record labels have as much to say about tours), etc. Who knows, maybe Axl woke up on the wrong side of the bed and said "No Warning" (I am joking but Axl can be neurotic). So, who knows.

Gary Garcia

I ask this in all earnestness: is this unusual? I haven’t really followed any arena-level bands in decades, so I have no idea if it’s uncommon for an already-announced opening band to withdraw or get booted from the gig, what the contractual obligations (if any) might be, etc.

Daniel Mccormick

It'd be awesome if we would just quit guessing and stuff and just wait for them to drop the rest of the story

Marco Ramos

You can actually read the entire post without having a patreon account. It might be best for The Warning team to post an image of each announcement so it remains locked

Chris S.

But everyone is having such fun with this!

Chris S.

Saw them at Soundstage in Baltimore, saw them at the Stone Pony in Jersey. I know big shows are important, and their tour with Muse for them was a dream come true. But I don't really care about the stadium shows. Would not go through all that for a 1/2 hour show seen from 100 yards away. I'm sure whatever happened with this was not a fault of theirs, and they'll let us know what happened when they're ready. I just hope no matter how famous they get, they will always put on shows where you can stand just 20 feet away and get ROCKED!!!

Gary Garcia

Speculation about the situation is inevitable and probably completely harmless.

Daniel Mccormick

Not when people are bashing the band that gave them the opportunity and they are still opening one show for

Fruitbat44

Interesting. Cool that TWA got a heads up about this before the rest of the world. Let's hope everything gets sorted out.

Gary Shaw

Man, that is a bummer. I already had tickets to finally see them for the first time. Please come to East Tennessee, as a headline show.

Gary Garcia

If GNR somehow penalizes TW because of mild jabs from a few fans on a Patreon page, then they might not be the tour partner TW needs.

John M

Yes! I was also at the Baltimore show and then a few days ago in Detroit. I agree, I have no desire to see them at a festival or as an opening act. Love the small venues and reasonable ticket prices even for VIP tickets.

Daniel Kiraly

The post says "Unlocked",, but Patreon no longer lets you click on that to see to whom a post is available.

Tim Neafsey

You can also see the post for Ulimate soundcheck not logged in but logged in you see the title and the upgrade to read button. Patreon is weird. lol

mdw1955

I think this is for the best. The way the ladies were treated last time was shameful. Not making sure the ladies had a dressing room sucks.

Gary Garcia

I’d like to think that the composers of Disciple and XXI Century Blood would happily grant us the permission to express our own opinions, as long as we do it with some baseline of civility.

JeffRW

That was an issue with the venue not being properly prepared. GnR has nothing to do with that.

JeffRW

I think the band is well aware that speculation is going to run wild once they make a post like this. Bashing GnR I don't understand though. Even if you don't like them they are a legendary band that is giving The Warning a big opportunity.

Francisco Carrizales

That wasn't GnR fault, that was more because of the venue, plus, they are still opening for them a couple of days later, they must have something bigger happening the same day, and after some digging, it turns out that the MTV video music awards happen to be on that same day, September 12th, plus some more digging, we found out that the band follows the VMAs account on Instagram, and with the connection that they already had a participation on a MTV awards show just a couple of weeks ago, well, it's the most reasonable of guesses for me.

Rob Sorenson

It depends on the circumstances. Rarely does an opening act get booted in my experience…although I’ve heard of opening acts getting thrown off tours due to bad behavior, but obviously that’s not the case here. When The Warning do this kind of thing, there’s almost always a good reason. Most recently they canceled a mini-festival gig they had booked in May because the Muse UK slot came available…so I suspect there’s another shoe dropping relatively soon. Some sort of opportunity has presented itself.

Scott LaFleur

It's public on GnRs tour listings that Dirty Honey will be the supporting band.

Jim Kiley

They probably got a call regarding the Led Zeppelin reunion on the same date. 😁

Greg Day

I went to Milton Keynes just to see them (I did stay for MUSE) and even at distance they were brilliant.

Vivek M Pai

GNR, Metallica, and The Muse should support you and that day is not far, mark my words. You have been warned ;-)

Vivek M Pai

Saw The Warning for the first time in Glasgow and it’s the first time a band brought tears to my eyes. Not even Pink Floyd or Iron Maiden could do that.

Vivek M Pai

Tried my best to get to The Warning in Leeds (Huddersfield @ John Smith) after a morning London meeting and a direct drive but the disrespect was distasteful to put it mildly - no one (even the box office) had a clear idea who The Warning was. I missed The Warning by seconds because I had to park my car literally miles away (and walk up a hill) simply because I hadn’t pre booked parking at the venue. There was no mention of parking (troubles) at the ticket purchase stage. God willing and luckily I got to meet Eduardo (Lalo) - The Warning’s outstanding Sound Engineer and share a memorable chat. Obtaining The Warning’s merchandise was so time consuming, disorganized, stressful, and frustrating that I needed NHS attention afterwards (high blood pressure for the first and only time in my life) :-)

Vivek M Pai

Instead of watching The Muse for a millionth time I spent those hours searching for The Warning merchandise and in The NHS on-site emergency room.

JeffRW

I wouldn't call it disrespectful that nobody there knew who The Warning was. They have never toured in the UK and Europe before. So, people not knowing them is to be expected. It's not like they're a big band yet. Sorry, you had to go through all of that and then miss them play. Those big stadium shows can be a real pain when it comes to parking and trying to make your way into the venue.

Ed Ellis

Logistically they can only do so much. The Warning is the BAND not the tour promoter. If you rely on the theater to give you accurate info, it's going to come down to the employee knowledge - and I wouldn't count on that. Parking - that's on you. When I go to shows here (I've seen them here in Winnipeg) I just cab it and take the early entry option, as given on my ticket. Took VIP, partly hoping to M&G, (they were all pretty sick - weather) and it's better to get in quickly in that theater's district. But wait - what's up with Knoxville?

projecttm

Seeing the legendary all time hall of famer GNR in a few weeks, I wish it was with you instead of the band that will be opening.

Mike

I was at Cincinnati, Detroit, Indianapolis and Chicago; 4 shows in 5 days. I rode my motorcycle to the first 3.

TD Wilson

So sad, but selling my GNR tickets now. Wasn’t going to see GNR at all😐

TD Wilson

Lesson learned about buying expensive ($600) tickets early for a large venue. Now time to make plans to travel & catch the girls before the end of the year.

mdw1955

This was a lot of G&R fault. The way they treat all lower talent sucks. They are one of the most racist bands around. If you don't believe me listen to their song your one in a million, I don't think these ladies should be so disrespected. I truly don't think the ladies need this kind of influence.

Ryan Rebalkin

Metallica is currently playing in front of 80k people per show....the likely hood of your dream happening is well..unlikely. GNR is 30 to 60K Muse i suspect the same....I appreciate the fandom but we have to be realistic

Ryan Rebalkin

Too bad you aren't opening! It's a great opportunity to showcase what you have in front of tens of thousands of people who are fellow rockers. A great way to showcase yourselves. Hope all is well.

MooseNotMooses

I recovered from The Warning show on the 11th in time to see GnR last night the 21st. Both were amazing and while I adore The Warning and their music means A LOT to me, Guns N Roses was my Beatles and when they broke up(I was 16) after many years I eventually lost hope to see them together. Seeing Guns was a bucket list moment I thought I would never have.

mdw1955

Yes, and he and Axel wrote the song. I know several people of missed race that are that way. They just do not feel like they belong to either race. I have a granddaughter's boyfriend who cannot stand me because I'm white and he is mixed. It takes all kinds in this world. As an old man I have always tried to judge people by how they treat other people not their color or religion but that's not always the best way.

Stephen M. Jones

I'm not bashing G n' R, but, unlike The Warning, I wouldn't travel 5+ hours to a venue nor spend a couple of hundred dollars to see them, which is what I was planning to do just to watch them open for G n' R. The G n' R part of the show was just a "throw-in," as far as I was concerned, even if they were the headliner. There are still a lot of tickets available for the Knoxville show and I'm trying to sell my floor seat for less than I paid for it just to try and get most of my money back for a show I no longer wish to attend. Whoever handles The Warning's website should also remove the listing from the tour menu before someone purchases tickets to the Knoxville show thinking The Warning is going to be there.

Stephen M. Jones

Cheapest single ticket I could find for the Hollywood, FL show was around $600 with the fees! Ouch! If I was going to spend that much, I would use the money for a plane ticket to see them headline in Mexico!

Stephen M. Jones

Neither the Knoxville nor the Hollywood, FL show are "sold out." There are plenty of tickets left for the Knoxville show. There are a good number of tickets left for the Hollywood show, but it's a much smaller venue and the prices will make your eyes bleed when you see them!

Gary Garcia

I don’t know the song, so I can’t comment on it, but having a family member of another race doesn’t immunize someone from racism or internalized racism.

JeffRW

That's a song Axl wrote over three decades ago. Even if he felt like that at the time he wrote those words is he not allowed an opportunity to change as time has gone by? Slash is half black. I highly doubt Axl would work with him if he was racist. The band would not have reached the level they have if that was the case. If you don't like the band that's fine but don't throw accusations like that their way because of some things said in a 35 year old song.

CHARLES HELD

Someone mentioned DPA possibly performing at the MTV VMAs since they’re the same date. The VMA website has performers listed as Demi Lovato, Maneskin, Stray Kids, and Karol G. Three bands with Warning connections - Foo Fighters, Metallica, Muse - are nominated in the Best Rock Video category. Maybe Metallica gets a lifetime achievement award and TW does ES as a tribute?

Tarkus

God I hope you're right on this one!!!! It will be a HUGE push for the girls!!!!!!!

Vivek M Pai

How do today’s numbers matter? Metallica has been around for multiple decades, are a Four (4>3) member band, have the advantage of all being born in the USA (being born in the US or UK is a massive advantage for rock/metal) apart from the kickstart advantage of a top level bassist (Cliff Burton - RIP) was a better fit than Jason Newsted (which is why Newsted was “fired” Dave Mustaine ( of Megadeth) also contributed immensely initially. But most critically Metallica and GNR are in the twilight of their careers. Exit light. Enter night. Take my hand. We’re off to never never land. Is literally a nursery rhyme compared to The Warning’s songwriting. Let’s talk talent: Paulina Villarreal Velez is a better drummer than Lars Ulrich technically even at his prime. Alejandra is on par with Metallica’s current bassist Luis Trujillo (who is also incidentally Mexican) and on par with Cliff Burton (RIP) while Daniela balances vocals + lead + rhythm guitar duties proficiently. In terms of sheer talent, The Warning > Metallica. GNR used to be up there with the best but both GNR and Metallica are at the twilights of their long and illustrious careers. Just like Iron Maiden. (And Saxon - remember them? Saxon which > Maiden initially is now an opening band. Journey and Def Leppard tour together. Ever thought why? Pantera’s Phil Anselmo can no longer sing “Cemetary Gates” so he plays a music video at a live performance instead. Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE Pantera , Iron Maiden, Metallica, The Muse, and GNR is my favorite (10+ GNR shows attended but these are all elderly men past their primes. The Warning is the future. Also it is rare that three sisters are so tightly knit, credit to their parents and their team. I’m willing to bet money that The Warning will outshine Metallica and GNR if you would like to. But that might take a few years for me to prove, but prove it I will.

Vivek M Pai

Then we’ll have to hope A Cara is present. Metallica will not allow The Warning to perform ES without her.

JeffRW

Why would Metallica not allow them to perform Sandman without Alessia Cara? The Warning already does it without her at every show they play.

Vivek M Pai

Because Metallica is Metallica. James Hetfield is James Hetfield. The Warning performing ES on MTV VMAs (3 ladies doing 4 men’s job) would be too much for Hetfield’s ego to handle. Sad but True.

JeffRW

Why are you under the impression that Hetfield is some kind of ego maniac? I have been a fan of Metallica for over 30 years and he has never come off that way to me.

Vivek M Pai

James is definitely NOT. an egomaniac or megalomaniac. James has earned the right to be mildly egotistical to put it mildly.

Edgar V Roldan

Wow, that is a big sad accusation. Do you know of anyone reporting it or you are just going by song?

mdw1955

In their early career it was reported all over. There is also the way they have treated their lesser talent. They were always treating their fans and other talent like they were lesser people. The late shows or early leaving of show and Axl talked to the crowd like they were better than the people paying money to see them.

Joel Pinckney

Cara contributes vocals only; it's not like she plays an instrument like all four members of Metallica. So having a second vocalist with three women who actually play the instruments of four men is the deal-breaker for James? Or is James going to require that Cara play an instrument?

Peter

They should be supporting you.
