Aston Villa are looking to use this off-season to help finance their summer transfer business.

Villa are set to take a hit financially this summer after missing out on Champions League football on the final day of the Premier League season.

Unai Emery's side will look to raise funds to bolster the squad to avoid a second straight season of Profit and Sustainability Rules drama after being forced to part with Douglas Luiz last season.

Villa Park is set to host the rock band Guns N' Roses, as part of their 2025 European and Middle East Tour, and will be joined by special guests Rival Sons.

Aston Villa have hosted many global music artists in recent years, including Bruce Springsteen, P!NK, and Foo Fighters, and have profited from ticket sales for those events in the past.

Temperature in Birmingham set to drop after heatwave

The weather forecast ahead of the show will be a relief for fans planning to attend.

The Met Office has reported, as of Thursday (19 June), that temperatures in Birmingham will drop to 21°C ahead of Monday's concert (23 June).

This comes after the United Kingdom is set to suffer a heatwave over the weekend, with temperatures around Villa Park rising to as much as 31°C on Friday.

The chance of rain is low, at just 10 per cent, with precipitation set to occur on Sunday (22 June) as the heatwave ends.
