I cant honestly see how theyre going to sell these '10-12 shows' thats being talked about if theyre in stadiums.

I doubt the Stones could sell 10-12 arena dates in the UK to be honest, unless they were charging under £100 a ticket.

1 x Wembley Stadium
1x Ethiad Stadium (Manchester)
1x any given stadium in Glasgow (take your pick)
1x Cardiff Principality
1x Dublin

can't see anything happening past that, unless they think there is some pr mileage in a one-off headline grabbing show at the RAH etc...

I think 4 nights at the O2 Dome in London is a good idea instead of stadium shows.

I'd love them to play Belfast, Birmingham, Plymouth, Leeds, Newcastle, Nottingham etc but I very much doubt it'll happen.

If they had a few club gigs thrown in there with some appearances by Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman, it would be very interesting but I don't hold much hope. As Gazza says, the Stones would struggle selling out more than a single stadium gig in the UK and that would obviously be in London. The days when they went up north or the west country to sell out stadiums are long gone.
