Recently-regrouped hard rock band Guns N’ Roses will kick off its highly anticipated “Not in this Lifetime” tour at Ford Field in Detroit on June 23.

Tickets go on sale to the general public 10 a.m. April 8 at fordfield.com and livenation.com. Citi cardmember pre-sale begins at 10 a.m. Monday, and members of the band’s official fan club will be notified via e-mail with details about an early pre-sale.

Ticket prices range from $49.50-$250.

The tour also hits Soldier Field in Chicago on July 1, Rogers Centre in Toronto on July 16 and wraps up Aug. 22 at the Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, CA.

The band teased the tour dates last Friday with a social media post listing 21 cities. Shortly after, billboards were spotted around Metro Detroit with the words “Patience” and “Paradise City.”

Rose, the lead singer, has been Guns N’ Roses only consistent member since the hard-partying band formed in 1985. Founding members guitarist Slash and bassist McKagan left the band in the mid-1990s, and have returned for this tour.

News of the reunited lineup broke in January when Guns N’ Roses was announced as headliner of this year’s Coachella festival in April in Indio, California.

Earlier on Friday Guns N’ Roses announced they would kick off their reunion tour with a show at the Troubadour in Los Angeles Friday night. That show marks the first time Axl and Slash have shared a stage since a Buenos Aries concert on July 17 1993, according to Rolling Stone.

Guns N’ Roses’ 1987 album “Appetite for Destruction” is the best-selling U.S. debut ever, selling 30 million copies worldwide. The band’s twin albums “Use Your Illusion I” and “Use Your Illusion II” were at the top two spot of the Billboard 200 when released in 1991.
