The Rolling Stones 50th anniversary tour, which has been “on the cards” for a while now, looks to be becoming more of a possibility with more info that we’ve heard today. It now seems they’re planning for 20 dates around the world, with an Australian date very likely, and these shows could also be free.

Herald Sun music reporter Nui Te Koha spoke to Triple M this morning about the iconic rock legends new plans to tour.

“There is going to be a big concert worldwide. The Rolling Stones are thinking 20 dates around the world. They have to be landmark cities to fit in with this vibe”

“The word is the concerts are going to be free and that it’s all going to be sponsored by corporates. That’s the latest mail. You would have to think Australia is in the mix for one of the 20 spots up for grabs, surely.”

There ware talks about them coming to Australia as a part of their anniversary tour this year, with goldcoast.com.au reporting that there had been discussions about “planning another Aussie run”.

However, guitarist Keith Richards and frontman Mick Jagger said that the band are just not quite ready to hit the road yet, but 2013 could be the new goal and that they have “a feeling that’s more realistic”.

Yay!

Free?!

i'm free!!!

Different journalist, Edith - Paul Cashmere was the one who claimed Charlie had quit (and who is still claiming that the reason they wont tour again is because Charlie refuses .to ..  ::)  Which is bollocks)

Interesting and attractive concept if it's true (and its not the first time this rumour has been mooted so it may have some legs).  No doubt they'd make their money from shows being televised etc but while I've always maintained that any future tour would be a short one and won't involve many cities or much travelling and while I also think that something like this would restore a lot of good faith after years of price-gouging, it's hard to imagine the Stones resisting the urge to make as much money out of what will almost certainly be a final tour as they possibly can.

Old Habits Die Hard, and all that shit.

that's a very cool idea! but will do nothing for gross.

The outcome could be pretty gross if they don't do this right.  :forfucksake

I dare say the decorative tarp companies will lobby against any free shows.

It's actually pretty plausible. If you guys remember, that's what they did in Lausanne, Switzerland in '07. Migros, which is a supermarket chain there, gave away free tickets to their card carrying customers.
