THE Rolling Stones have made their first public appearance ahead of their rebooted Australian tour.
Their 14 on Fire tour starts at Adelaide Oval this Saturday, with the band posing for cameras but waiting for the concert to let their music do the talking. Only photographers and camera people were allowed at the photo call, with no reporters invited.
53,000 fans will see the Rolling Stones show in Adelaide with a handful of new tickets released on Thursday for those who missed out.

The Stones have shipped their entire production to Australia for what will looks set to be their last shows for the year, with no plans for 2015 announced yet either.
The Australian leg was postponed in March after the sudden death of fashion designer L’Wren Scott, Mick Jagger’s girlfriend.

Less than 2000 fans asked for refunds, with most hanging on to their tickets in a show of support for the band’s grieving period.

The Stones started touring again in May, with their last show in Denmark on July 3.
As they have not played in several months, the band flew into Adelaide ten days ahead of their performance for intensive rehearsals.

Fans who somehow eavesdropped on the band’s rehearsals - which have lasted up to four hours - have posted details of what they heard on social media.
As with the rest of the shows, the band is joined by former guitarist Mick Taylor, who played on Sway and Midnight Rambler during rehearsals in Adelaide.

Diehards were also thrilled by the inclusion of Shine a Light in rehearsals, although the band frequently alter their setlist. There is also debate over whether the band will invite guest musicians to join them on stage, as they have done for many shows overseas.
