The upcoming Guns N’ Roses tour reuniting frontman Axl Rose with long-departed guitarist Slash is coming to Chicago.

But where the rockers will play is anybody’s guess.

Chicago is one of 21 North American cities listed on a video released Friday to tease the somewhat reunited band’s summer trek. No date, venue or ticket price was revealed.

Rose, Slash and bassist Duff McKagan again are sharing the stage after some 20 years of Rose touring as Guns N’ Roses with varying lineups of hired guns, and both Rose and Slash vowing repeatedly that they would never again play together.

But they made nice last year, enough to announce in January that both would be part of a Guns N’ Roses performance at next month’s Coachella festival in California. They’ll unveil this lineup at an April 8 and 9 gig at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
