The Rolling Stones to play tiny warm-up gigs, says Ronnie Wood The band may perform under their Cockroaches alias
The Rolling Stones will play small warm-up shows,
possibly to take place in Paris, for their forthcoming
sold-out dates in London and New York, Ronnie Wood
says.
Speaking to NME,
bassist Ronnie Wood
said the band may perform under their Cockroaches
guise in breaks from rehearsing in Paris. Speaking
about the veteran band's rehearsal schedule, he said:
"We’re all making a concentrated effort of being there
on time every day, we start at three o’clock in the
afternoon, we go through to dinner time, we have
one break and so far everything has been [like] an
operation, nose to the grindstone. We wanna give
200 per cent."
He said: "There’s going to be little club gigs that we’re
gonna surprise ourselves to do as well, we’ll bung a
few in next week or the week after, so look out for
any
Cockroaches gigs or whatever! I don’t know
who we’ll be billed as but we’ll turn up somewhere
and put a few to the test. Tiny, 200, 300 people kind
of places."
Last week, The Rolling Stones announced two huge
London dates for November. The rock legends will
play London's O2 Arena on November 25 and 29
to celebrate their 50th anniversary. They will also
be playing two nights at the Prudential Center in
Newark, New Jersey in the US on December 13
and 15. All the dates sold out in minutes.
