When Guns N’ Roses hit the stage for their Not in This Lifetime concert on Tuesday night (Feb. 14) in Australia, their longtime instrument tech and announcer McBob shouted “Sydney!” to the crowd. Unfortunately, the show was in Melbourne.
The Melbourne audience immediately responded in a chorus of boos at the mistake.

After the show, the band apologized on Facebook, writing: “Melbourne! ?Accidentally after 30 years McBob made an error, we’re truly sorry. Thank you for coming out tonight!”
The reunion tour includes the band’s founder Axl Rose as well as Slash and Duff McKagan, but original guitarist Izzy Stradlin has not rejoined so far.
Slash and McKagan also apologized for the mix-up on Twitter.
Melbourne, thank you for an awesome fucking evening! Apologies for the Spinal Tap intro! But, we had a great fucking time tonight! Cheers!
