LOS ANGELES, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- The band is getting back together. Guns N' Roses founding members Axl Rose and Slash will be sharing the stage once again to headline the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in April.

Multiple sources confirmed the news to Billboard Tuesday along with reports that the band is currently negotiating with promoters to embark on a 25 stadium tour afterwards. The tour would also allow the '80s band to be one of the first acts to play at the new Las Vegas Arena.

Billboard also adds that the "Paradise City" rockers are reportedly asking for as much as $3 million per show.

The last show Rose and Slash played together was in 1993 at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires. Rose has continued to tour and perform under the Guns N' Roses name despite being the only original member still a part of the group.

Rumors of Guns N' Roses reuniting began popping up when the band's official website was updated with their old logo and new photographs of a live crowd were uploaded to their Facebook page. Fans have also come across a mysterious trailer paying Guns N' Roses music over shots of a packed crowd during screenings of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
