I've got suitcases to pack, kidneys to sell,
a wife to tell we shan't be going on holiday this year...
Hurry the fuck up.

If i want rumours I'll put on a Fleetwood mac album.

Firm dates and a non overloaded ticket website that's what I want!

bummer. Maybe some health issues? Insurancees? or just no interests with all the big names, with high prices already in Europe this summer

OMG!!

I have a friend who said the read that the tour may be postponed or cancelled due to external issues like insurance...possible personal/health issues...even VIP package pricing....

But since it's not on the rumors thread, I would hope to think its not true...

;D ;D ;D

It's fake news. I'll stick with the alternative facts;

Stones, Paris, this summer!

The Stones are unlikely to tour Europe in the summer, it seems

https://iorr.org/news.htm

A possibility of shows in the autumn instead? In that case, those will have to be indoors, which seriously limits the options for cities they're likely to consider - and it'll also drive the average ticket price upwards.

Really dont like the sound of this. I can think of no logical reason why they would choose to skip a summer stadium tour for a few arena shows in the autumn (if those actually happen at all) unless its health or insurance-related.  I sure as hell dont think they'd postpone a tour on that scale to finish a record they'll hardly promote and whose sales wont go anywhere close to making up the difference in revenue.

Probably a stupid question, but I'm wondering anyway.

If it's a matter of difficulties obtaining insurance, would Stones Inc. have the means to self-insure, and could this be the reason for talk about scaled-down shows ?

Let's just hope its anything but health related....if it is health it must be serious to consider canceling something months away.

It just appears that dates that were never announced will still be never announced.

Fake Tour!

Their record of cancellations over the last 4 years has not been great...L'Wrens death aside...Economic factors...laryngitis...other factors I cant recall for fear of faking news...

can they self-insure? I don't see them taking on that financial burden on themselves.
I mean, at that point, its just a matter of desperation to get out there to prove something...but honestly...I am not sure what is all involved in "self-insuring" a show of that magnitude...seriously...I dont

Or they could just say...we want to still play and do a tour laden with Blue and Lonesome tracks and charge $250 for the top ticket so insurance would be much less.....wow...ooops sorry I just woke up from my dream.

surely somebody has some alternative facts on this?

Is the tour in the gutter? They cant announce too far in advance anymore in case something sets them back. Seems crazy that MICK and Ronnie have young babies, so if they want to do it, they are gonna do it. It ain't over yet! I have faith, lol.

I wouldnt go that far. There IS speculation that it could indeed just be delayed to finish the next studio album.

OK well I always have faith they will deliver the album with new material and a tour.

I have put my summer European visit on hold....hopefully not a permanent cancelation.
