So the shows in Ireland aren't scheduled? Guess they put a cork in those

Could "No Filter" mean three hour shows filled with rarities and obscurities ? 

No Filter??

Play Highwire...

From the Official website:

"As always, the Rolling Stones will treat their European fans to a set list packed full of classics such as ‘Gimme Shelter’, ‘Paint It Black’, ‘Jumpin Jack Flash’, ‘Tumbling Dice’ and ‘Brown Sugar’, but they will also include a couple of unexpected tracks each night, and randomly selected surprises from their formidable arsenal of songs. For all of the European No Filter shows listed below the Stones will be unveiling a spectacular new production and state of the art stage design"

No Filter...is that No Security Euro Style?

The Austrian location is beautiful...but I would never go see them at a racetrack...

Ayyway...wish it was happening here is all i can say...GO EUROPE!!!

SHIT! I didn't even notice that.
Tax reasons?
Surely not guys, come on! I mean you recorded the damned song in '63.
So you guys COME ON..UK venues, and NOW!

You will get non-stop warhorses and like it.

LOL

I'm thinking about the meaning of the No Filter tour name. It reminds me of back in the day when cigarettes were sold without filters. The smoke was very raw. So No Filter may symbolize the music will be very raw and unfiltered, possibly unplugged style or just the opposite, a more electric style with no filters meaning cutting down on the gimmicks and extras.

I can't figure out the pricing...

What's "regular" and what's "no filter pit"
(at around 200 euro)

I guess both are field tickets but very pricey, and  they seem to be more expensive than the seats???

I'm gonna try and pre-order on the app
tomorrow. I can already feel it will be a disaster...

Unplugged. In stadiums?

No. Not tax reasons. Thats a non issue.

The tour was rumoured to be September - November.  The crew are contracted to November, I understand.

So as there are no dates scheduled after October 22nd, it is possible that there's room for a UK visit after Paris.

If it is, its a bit of a shitty bait and switch as I'm sure a lot of fans there will book trips to the continent assuming we're not getting any shows.

They really should have made some statement clarifying that they are or are not planning UK shows on this leg.

The Stones always do this because they want us all to buy the first round of tickets, and then they add additional shows after the first ones sell out. There is always a surprise or two. But 13 shows per tour seems to be the new normal so maybe this is it for now and they will see how it goes.

I want London shows too!

gypsymofo60 wrote on May 10^th, 2017 at 11:18pm:


No UK shows on the 2014 Euro tour either.

Tried my luck on the app presale for Italy tickets, but the stupid Ticketone site kept requesting a captcha and then saying there were no tickets available over and over again (till finally there REALLY were no tickets available). And I hit that button at precisely 10.00 o' clock  Hope I'm luckier when they go on general sale in a couple of days.

P.S. Those are some crazy ticket prices.

"No Filter" I believe Bitch had it partially correct.
When I think of "No Filter", RAW comes to mind!

The general sale for Lucca tickets began 3 minutes ago. I was there, clicked with the speed of light, got the "no tickets available, try again". I keep trying and no luck. I mean, why on earth can't they get an online system that actually works for tickets? Why do we need to suffer this craziness? Argh.

Gazza wrote on May 12^th, 2017 at 12:28pm:


I remember that.
If I recall correctly, ( and there is a good chance that I dont) there was some "quite change" in the UK tax corporate code that would have had them pay taxes on ALL shows played in that year IF they even played ONE show in the UK...prolly not at the same rate as the actual UK shows, I would assume...but it was something like that...so maybe the UK will get a few nice shows next RS fiscal year if those laws are still in place.

There are several large sports stadiums in London - all of which have staged major concerts in recent years - Wembley and  Twickenham (rugby stadium) are the biggest and hold over 90,000 and 80,000 respectively.  There's also the London Stadium (the venue for the 2012 Olympics) which has been reduced in capacity but still holds about 65,000 and is now used for home games for West Ham United.  And the Emirates Stadium (Arsenal FC) which holds over 60,000.  And there's also parks such as Hyde Park which get used for several gigs every year.

Football stadiums that are used by club sides pretty much rule those venues out from August onwards. The weather also makes it a non starter once you get into the autumn.  However, Wembley has a roof and could be used anytime (likewise with the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff)

There is a stumbling block with Wembley at the minute though. Tottenham Hotspur are getting a new stadium constructed so will be playing their home games for the 2017-2018 season at Wembley.  So, between August 2017 and May 2018 instead of being used for maybe 8-10 sporting events, the stadium will probably host about 40 games instead. Cant see the FA and Tottenham being  too enthusiastic about letting the pitch be used for concerts in the middle of all that.

They could easily have staged a couple of shows at the 02.

Or even remembered that the UK does exist outside of London and played there.

The story going around is that they got a tax break by deferring the UK dates until the next financial year.

Rolling Stones spotted arriving at London studio to start rehearsals for their Stones – No Filter tour

Definitely a recording session, I'd imagine.

The only way a band would be rehearsing for a tour three months away would be if they'd never played their respective instruments before.

Plus, its in a recording studio - not a rehearsal space.

They wouldnt be likely to start rehearsals until about mid-August at the earliest.

the 55 and counting tour

I upgraded to the No Filter Pit for Paris 22/10/2017, so am selling my Golden Square (Carre Or) ticket for below face value as I want it shifted asap.

I paid 331,50 euros for it (£286 plus fees) but am selling it for £280.

It's in block 116 right next to Keith's side of the stage.

Maxmeister wrote on Jun 7^th, 2017 at 11:42pm:


Because it was in a newspaper. Not a music site.

Journalists and the general public dont see the Stones as a functioning current band who make records - just one that tours.  The fact that they're touring this year has been well reported - their on-off recording schedule isn't really of interest to hardly anyone.


Mind you, its an easy mistake to make.  Its not as if the Stones have done much in recent years to discourage the image of them being a nostalgia act. 

I think they might rehearse some songs from Blue & Lonesome as a warm up for the new album. I hope they take it easy and get into it!

I met her several times mostly when she was with Brian Jones or at Castells in Paris - it was the most trendy club in Europe - Anita Pallenberg was an icon of the time.
From the Anita thread - Castel in Paris, it's still there and its a cool late night club. http://jetsetreport.com/nightlife.php?articleId=521

Zip Code tour was a dumb name referring to the cities on the tour. No Filter suggests a throwback to the days when cigarettes had so filter and it was raw and rough and not for pussys. The Stones are hardcore shit!
