Short story:

On their Chinese Democracy tour, Guns N'Roses begin a South American trek with an appearance at the Cidade Do Rock Festival, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Full article:

Doc McGhee (manager of Guns N'Roses) : With a band like Guns 'N Roses, our Brazilian promoter Jose Muniz had to face all kinds of things from not showing up on time to audience riots, but he stayed calm and dealt with it through the whole thing. I've worked with him for almost twenty years, and we have a good relationship. I can call him any time and ask his advice, about the timing or the routing of a tour, and I trust him to give me good information.

Fernando Lebeis (personal assistant to Axl Rose) : Working with Muniz, during our South America tour; through thick and thin; Muniz stood by our camp and showed us a level of respect never witnessed before from any other promoter.  We love Muniz, and we don't see a tour in Central and South America that does not involve him.
