LOL...welcome to Rocks Off (great username, by the way)

September/October announcement for South America, going by the above StonesPlanetBrazil posts. So, we should hear very soon.

Any tour legs beyond those are still pretty speculative. Dont hold your breath for an announcement.

I understand Rock in Rio goes on sale this weekend. Whether they announce who's playing that festival before tickets go on sale is another thing, though. There'll be 80,000 tickets available for each of the two weekends, I believe, with regular tickets at something close to $300 and VIP packages at around $500.

Those prices for a GA show would certainly suggest that an act with a very high guarantee would be on the bill!

Rock in Rio USA announces 2015 dates and ticket info

BY ALEX YOUNG AND BEN KAYEON SEPTEMBER 20, 2014, 7:31PM



Rock in Rio’s first North American festival will take place in Las Vegas over two weekends, May 8th – 9th and May 15th – 16th, 2015, at the City of Rock MGM Resorts Festival Grounds.

Tickets to each weekend are priced at $298.00 GA and $498.00 VIP. A pre-sale will begin September 26th at 4:00pm PT through Ticketmaster.com.

Considered to be the world’s largest music festival, Rock in Rio has previously held festivals in Brazil, Lisbon, and Madrid. Its expansion into the US is the result of a partnership between the festival and Cirque du Soleil, MGM Resorts International, and developer Ron Burkle of The Yucaipa Companies. According to Billboard, a deal is currently in place to hold the event once every two years between now and 2019.

The festival will take place at the newly constructed City of Rock and it will feature all the state-of-the-art flash and pop you’d expect from Sin City. To be constructed near Circus Circus, the City will be a 33-acre, 80,000-person capacity open-air venue with five stages, including specific EDM and “indie” stages. As attendees traverse the grounds they’ll walk through “streetscapes” designed to feel like the UK, Brazil, and the USA, complete with geographically-appropriate food, shopping, and street art. There are also plans for amusement rides like a giant roulette table ferris wheel and a 400-foot zip-line which, if the mockups become reality, will take fans right in front of the main stage.

Below, watch a virtual tour of Rock in Rio USA.

There'll be a delay in the announcement of the South American dates due to issues with the promoters of the Argentinian concerts

StonesPlanetBrazil :
É possível que o anúncio da tour sul-americana dos Stones não ocorra durante o mês de setembro. Os promotores da perna argentina da excursão teriam dificuldades para fazer o pagamento dos 25 milhões de dólares exigidos pela AEG Live para confirmar as apresentações. As restrições para o envio de dólares ao exterior (logo, para o pagamento) prejudicaria a confirmação dos 5 concertos no River Plate. Por outro lado, os promotores estariam aproveitando o cenário para obterem redução de impostos.
Não se tem notícias de que exista risco de cancelamento dos shows em Buenos Aires, ou mesmo do restante das apresentações pelo continente, mas é possível que exista um atraso na oficialização da tour. Tudo deve ser confirmado em breve.
A AEG Live exige pagamento antecipado dos cerca de 5 milhões de dólares por apresentação. Restaria apenas a solução do caso argentino para que tudo seja confirmado.

Rough Translation :
It is possible that the announcement of the South American tour of Stones will not take place during the month of September. The promoters of the Argentine leg of the tour are having difficulty making the payment of the $ 25 million required by AEG Live to confirm the presentations.
Restrictions for sending dollars abroad (logo for payment) would undermine the confirmation of five concerts in the River Plate. On the other hand, the prosecutor was enjoying the scenery to get tax cuts (I've no idea what the fuck this bit means! - Gazza).
There is no indication that there is a risk of cancellation of concerts in Buenos Aires, or even the rest of the continent presentations, but there may be a delay in the official tour. Everything must be confirmed soon.
AEG Live requires prepayment of approximately $ 5 million per show. Would remain the only solution of the Argentine case so that everything is confirmed.

Pisser. Legalities, monies in escrow? We'll have to Hang Fire for awhile. Read a post on IORR from an mtaylor reference announcement this Friday for Las Vegas? Hope that's correct but would love to stitch up dates as I have to be selective. Always wanted to see the guys at MSG if that comes to fruition?

Yes. See my post above. Friday for Rock in Rio pre-sales.

Still no announcement line up, though (mind you, thats never stopped Glastonbury selling out in nano-seconds)

I dont imagine we're talking about MUCH of a delay for confirmation of South American dates.  Maybe they'll just end up going with a different promoter.

There's talk now that the problems with the Buenos Aires shows may end up seeing the South American leg put back until later in 2015 - or even cancelled altogether.

Not the first time that economic reasons have seen plans for a Latin American leg being cancelled (see also 1975 and 2003)

Five shows being pulled in their main South American market leaves a huge hole in that tour leg which may render this part of the tour unviable.

A pity if this is true, because everything seemed to be pretty much in place for the other dates there.



Source for the story :
http://www.bemparana.com.br/noticia/352601/rolling-stones-podem-adiar-shows-no-b...

Text (in Portuguese) : Os shows dos Rolling Stones no Brasil, marcados para o início de 2015, podem ser adiados para datas entre setembro e novembro. As informações são do jornalista Lúcio Ribeiro, do blog Popload.

A mudança na data, segundo Ribeiro, teria sido motivada pela crise econômica na Argentina, país por onde a banda também passará na turnê sulamericana. Junto com Brasil e Chile, os argetinos são responsáveis pelas grandes atrações internacionais na América do Sul, mas os problemas na economia argentina poderia estar prejudicando as negociações para os shows dos Stones, de acordo com Ribeiro.

Translation : The Rolling Stones concerts in Brazil, scheduled for early 2015, may be postponed for dates between September and November. The information is the journalist Lúcio Ribeiro, blog Popload.

The change in the date, according to Ribeiro, have been motivated by the economic crisis in Argentina, the country where the band will also tour the South American. Along with Brazil and Chile, the argetinos are responsible for major international attractions in South America, but the problems in the Argentine economy could be hurting the negotiations for the Stones concert, according to Ribeiro.

So is their any chance of doing US shows or somewhere else? That's a long layoff if they don't go back out until Fall 2015.

Yes. I think there was a good chance of a few US shows after South America.

I'd certainly think that if they dont play South America at all in the spring, the likelihood of more US shows then would be greater.

The bottom line is that they'll go where the money is.

And right now, Argentina (and by extension, South America) is certainly not in that category. The South American dates should have been announced by now - certainly this month anyway.

The talk of the tour being extended to late 2015 though provides a further dilemma re Keith's album. Seems there's been a band decision that he puts that on hold until the Stones' current spell of touring ends (especially as he'd naturally want to promote it with some appearances). Keith himself reckoned that would be summer 2015.

A repeat of 1975? Scrapped S.A. and came back to Buffalo!!!!!!!!!! Had to pack my little suitcase in the middle of the night and threaten to run away from home if Dad didn't give me permission to attend a stadium show. (He did!)

I would hate to see the South American fans lose these dates though. They deserve it.

That will be a shame if the SA tour leg is scrapped altogether. I hope they can figure something out soon, if not, nothing was officially announced so most people wont ever know the plans were scrapped, except the die-hards.

From a very reliable source: The Rolling Stones won't play in Argentina

This is very sad news, one of the best places to see the Stones all over the world is out of the tour Schedule

Fortunately other dates in South America remain the same

Good news for the rest of Latin America.

Gutted for the Argentinian fans. They're a great audience.

Hopefully there'll be a way for the Stones to play there before this period of touring ends.

Shit, they're coming to MY SHITHOLE TOWN? That's amazing. I guess Keith wasn't lying when he said he loved here and fuckin' cachaça. I don't see what foreigners see in such an unwieldy concoction. Its nothing but a better form of rum. Which still means it tastes like sweetened stale piss (if it's a "good" brand if such a thing exists) mixed with rubbing alcohol.

Having said that, with Mick Taylor as a guest or not, I saw them thrice already and AC/DC only twice. And AC/DC comes first - its their last tour. Unless God really exists and cures Malcolm, which is something that just won't happen.
