Legendary 1980s rock band Guns and Roses have announced two dates in New Zealand for early next year.

The re-formed hair metal rockers are scheduled to play in Wellington and Auckland in February.

It's unknown whether Dunedin Venues Management Limited approached the New Zealand tour agent, asking to host G and R at Forsyth Barr Stadium.

Inquiries by 39 Dunedin News to DVML were not responded to by the time of broadcast.
