Although it hasn't been announced on their official website, it appears Guns N' Roses will mount a mini-tour of Asia later this year.

The gigs will be their first shows in support of last year's Chinese Democracy. Universal Music Japan confirmed two of the dates, while advertisements for two additional stops have reportedly appeared in the confirmed cities.

The jaunt is slated to begin in Taiwan on Dec. 11 with stops in South Korea and Japan. The four-date trek will conclude with two stadium dates in Japan, including a Dec. 19 date at the Tokyo Dome. The Japanese shows go on sale Oct. 3.

The shows will be the band's first gigs since they last performed in Osaka, Japan in 2007.

There's no word whether Guns N' Roses will tour next year behind the record, but it seems doubtful given their erratic track record. Rose hinted that a summer world stadium tour was in the works earlier this year, but that didn't happen.

Here are Guns N' Roses' tour dates:

Dec. 11 Taipei, Taiwan @ Taipei County Stadium
Dec. 13 Seoul, South Korea @ Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium
Dec. 16 Osaka, Japan @ Osaka Dome
Dec. 19 Tokyo, Japan @ Tokyo Dome
