#NotInThisLifetime: The Tour of 2017
As the 41st best-selling artist of all time, Guns N' Roses have had great success as a band. Starting in 1985 and continuing to present, the band has had multiple band members and a total of 6 studio albums. In their early years, they earned the nickname of "the most dangerous band in the world." Though their most recent album, Chinese Democracy, did not perform as the industry expected, they are still popular among their fans today as evidenced by their 2017 tour.
After 31 years, almost all of the original members of Guns N' Roses are back on tour together. With the title "Not In This Lifetime," the band is successfully the top grossing and biggest tour of 2017. As of July 27th, 2017, the tour had a total of 909,606 fans in attendance. Additionally, they had a gross income of $99,031,131.
With a total of 2.4 million instagram and 4.88 million twitter followers, the band has a large social media presence. Upon embarking on their tour, they introduced their hashtag, #NotInThisLifetime. This paired with the band's other hashtag, #GnFnR, has expanded their presence. Some of the most popular instagram posts with these hashtags are featured below.
These photos do not only promote their tour, but also their music and their image. Through the posts of their fans, they are receiving free publicity. However, there can also be down sides to this. While this provides a lot of exposure to those on social media, other people's posts can alter an image guns and roses may be aiming for with their own social media.
Even so, most people posting about their shows will be fans that want to promote the band and show their love. This could drive up revenues for not only the tour but also past albums that a more recent generation had not heard yet.
