UPDATE: Due to the weather forecast, the Rolling Stones show scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 31, at the Hard Rock Stadium has been moved up a day, to Friday, Aug. 30, according to the Stones’ representatives.. All tickets will be honored for the new date. There will be no opening act — so no Juanes performance. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the Stones will go on at 8:30 p.m.

My flight gets into Ft Lauderdale at 2 Friday.....I could get a refund I guess or go and take a chance on getting home on my Monday flight...geeshhh

Rescheduled but its already thundering and lightning tonight and the rain is supposed to continue through the next 5 days. DAMMIT!
Everyone is gonna be soaked unless a the Stones can pull off a miracle! May the clouds open up at showtime! No opening act, I bet its a quick show, they are wisked off the stage and jet right out of here!

Song vote is up!

I do give them credit for not canceling altogether. At least they are trying to accommodate the fans.

Fuck it dude, let's go to Dragon Con.

You've got to love the rs.com reaction to this. They presumably have several thousand of this weekend's concert attendees on their mailing list, some of whom may not have access to social media, but the e-mail sent today isnt telling you important news like a change to a concert date - but is instead offering you the chance to purchase 'The Band's Hands' for only £1,500....

Ronnie Wood has just unveiled ‘The Band’s Hands’ – paying tribute to his Rolling Stones bandmates.

This collection of four limited edition numbered prints comes hand-signed and also features a signed frontispiece in a presentation box.

The hands have such personality; they are the connection of each member of the greatest rock and roll band in the world with their instrument.

Almost. The Beatles' Candlestick Park show was on August 29th.

Watch the Rolling Stones Wrap Up 2019 Tour With Rain-Drenched ‘Gimme Shelter’

As soon as “a storm is threatening my very life today” left Mick Jagger’s mouth, the clouds over Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium began pelting the crowd with rain



The Miami concert was originally supposed to open up the tour on April 29th, but Mick Jagger’s heart surgery forced a postponement of every show until later in the summer. Miami ultimately became the final stop with a show booked for August 31st, but once it became clear that Hurricane Dorian was barreling towards Florida they moved it forward one day with just about 24 hours notice.


The last minute shift seemed to have little impact on attendance as nearly every seat appeared to be full Friday night, even though a little rainstorm delayed the start about an hour. Appropriately enough, they opened up with “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” (“I was born in a cross-fire hurricane/And I howled at the morning driving rain”), but they were fortunate that the rain held off until “Gimme Shelter” 17 songs later. Nobody would have complained if that song ended the night, but they still powered through an extended “Satisfaction” in the pouring rain to wrap up the night and the tour.

The Rolling Stones’ future plans are unclear at the moment, but Jagger did tell the crowd “See you next time!” before walking offstage. They have toured every single year since ending their extended hiatus in 2012, and there’s no reason to think next year will be any different. After all, this is a band that doesn’t even let an impending category 4 hurricane stop them.
