According to the Georgia Tech website and an email sent to ticketholders, the Aug. 12 Guns N' Roses concert at Bobby Dodd Stadium has been postponed.

“We are working with the event organizer to identify a new date,” it read in part.

Fans are encouraged to hold on to their tickets for a rescheduled date, which “will be announced soon.”

Once a new date is announced, or if the show is not rescheduled within 60 days from postponement, a 30-day window for refunds will be made available.

This would have been the band's first Atlanta appearance since a blazing 2016 show at the Georgia Dome.
