Guess the Guns N' Roses announcer hasn't heard of that age-old rivalry between Sydney000 ArchivesMelbourne, then?

Melbourne was half offended, half amused.

According to the ABC, the last time the band played Melbourne back in 2013, the location was Sidney Myer Music Bowl, which maybe, kinda explains the mistake.

The band themselves were quick to apologise, pointing out that old mate McBob hasn't misidentified a city in his 30 years of service.

Melbourne forgives you, GNR. But Melbourne never forgets. Ask Sydney.
