Evraz Place director of marketing and communications Paula Kohl would not confirm the band were planning to tour Saskatchewan.

But she did say a major concert announcement was expected to take place on Monday.

"I guess people can make their own conclusions," said Kohl.

Guns N' Roses have already released a series of world tour dates for 2017.

If the band is indeed touring Regina next year, it's likely they will play at the new Mosaic Stadium.

The $278-million, city-owned stadium had its first test-run on Oct. 1, when 16,500 ticket-holders gathered for a game between the University of Regina Rams and the University of Saskatchewan Huskies.

The new venue's second test event is scheduled for this spring, but Kohl said it was not a Guns N' Roses concert.
