Could it be the much-rumoured club gig which some people are suggesting may take place Saturday night in the LA area?

Grrrreat things are brewing! Watch this space at 12.30pm PT tomorrow for some news... #Stones50

One rumour I've heard mentioned earlier today is that the gig will be Saturday evening, but I guess we'll find out for sure tomorrow.

Seriously, anybody doing any stakeouts with Stones stuff on is an idiot. You will attract all the wrong attention. Of course you are a fan. No one gives a shit.

The gig doesn't have to be in LA, but most likely will be….
There's only a certain amount of clubs that =can meet their needs that are bookable. You have to imagine, this is done so secretly, they have always kept it quiet until the final hours…

someone posted earlier, that they didn't do a club gig for NS tour, half truth…. they rehearsed in SF at The Fillmore, and at the end allowed friends and some fans in to hangout…. not the same, but a warm up, just not a public one… kinda like Paris pre-club gig.

Maybe it will it will be the confirmation of the tour opening date... ;D ;D ;D



Could Johnny Depp be hookin'up The Stones at The Viper Room???

There is a PRIVATE EVENT scheduled on May 1st at The Viper !!

Trivia: The Viper room is where the Brian Jonestown Massacre had their famous on stage fist fight with each other...

Without bumping other shows...The Troubadour and Roxy are both available Sunday night...

" One rumour I've heard mentioned earlier today is that the gig will be Saturday evening,  "




My " Hog " is now sticking out !!!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't it be easier to let us know when it isn't out?

The tweets from that Simian bastard last night seem to suggest its LA for sure and that it'll be a Saturday gig - although the Saturday references could well just be about the actual announcement

Saturday morning and you’ll see me down the park...
Bout 12 ‘o’ clock you’ll see me in the road,
Telling everybody where the boys all go


I dont know where the gig will be, but someone who does know told me that it was a club with a capacity of about 350 as opposed to a theatre - which makes me think its maybe somewhere like The Roxy, Troubadour, Viper Room etc.

Doesn't Johnny Depp co-own The Viper Room??
Makes perfect sense.
Could it be tonight??!!!!

Meanwhile.  I'm in Chicago and will be back home in LA at 11pm tonight.  Amazing timing.  :forfucksake

Rolling Stones to play surprise show at the Echoplex (unless this is an elaborate social media hoax)
by KEVIN on APRIL 27, 2013


The Rolling Stones, whose “50 And Counting” Tour kicks off May 3 at Staples Center, will play a surprise show tonight at the Echoplex, according sources and various information on Twitter.

New Build, the UK electronic band originally scheduled to play the Echoplex tonight as part of Brit Week, tweeted (from @newbuildband) early this morning: “The Rolling Stones have nicked our gig tngt at the Echo. This time it’s personal. Going down to have a word with Mick.” And the Rolling Stones, tweeting from @GRRRegory, tweeted yesterday: “Grrrreat things are brewing! Watch this space at 12.30pm PT tomorrow for some news.” And very large trucks were at the Echoplex this morning unloading gear that seems way too large for a typical show there.

Sources say tickets will not be on sale at the Echoplex. It has not been officially announced, but as of 9:30 a.m. there is already a line at the box office at the El Rey Theatre, so somebody knows something.

(thanks to Joe Birardi on our facebook page for finding the link to the story)

So...If this pans out...at ANY venue...the questions that come to mind:

Will MT play???

Will this be the PREMIER ( and, realistically,  possibly the only) performance of EMOTIONAL RESCUE???

Worst kept club gig secret ever. :(

Well, no chance to get to the El Rey in time for tickets at this point. I think the Echoplex only holds about 300 people, and I'm sure there's at least 150+ people in line already (I don't know this for sure, just guessing). Ah well...

It'll be interesting to see how early someone had to be in line at the El Rey to actually get tickets.

Shuggie Otis is playing at the El Rey tonight...

Wasn't Otis once considered a replacement for MT?

Holy hell is the line ever huge (taken from a Twitter pic):

The people in this picture can't even see the El Rey... they've got no shot at all for tix. I'll give 'em credit for being there, though!

Oh man, those at the front of the line are gonna riot if it's a lottery and they don't get tix.

Street Fighting Man indeed!

Will we even be able to setlist watch tonight? With the tight security,nobody may able to text the setlist out. :-/

This is why I won't even bother.

I want s setlist as much as anyone...but unless they pull out ER...or Winter...we all know what the songs will be for the most part ( lets be honest)
What I am saying...I would totally be satisfied with reading aftershow highlights...since they are on LA time...it will be way late anyway for the first coast
to find out they opened with SMU..

What did we ever do before texting???

Oh, yeah...PAPER & PEN!!!

I look at some of my real-time setlist notes form all my grateful Dead, tripping my face off, nites...and laugh at the gibberish ;D ;D

Do we have people on the scene?  
We must be represented, no couching from other sites..

I don't care what board they are from, I just want a recording!;) The band should've given tickets to Justin and Dan and Bluzdude who were standing outside their rehearsals all week! They did that in 2002 for some of my friends in Toronto, the roadies even fixed them up with that partial DVD of the show, remember?

Doesn't look like it. Either couch from another site or follow the Stones feed on Twitter. :smilemick

watching with less interest than i have ever had in the rolling stones, i still wonder:

1) the band "new build" broke this news way before grrregory

2) the band "new build" now says the stones show will be moved to the el rey from the echoplex

3) why is nobody but me speculating that not only will the few people who got tix for the echoplex get into
the el rey, but also all the shuggie otis ticket holders? and why oh why at last report are there still shuggie
otis tix for sale? i mean, if you're in LA and were shut out of the echoplex tix, c'mon, put down $20 on the
shuggie otis roulette wheel and bet that "new build" is right again. jesus, why not?

No, I have always had really bad experiences with these situations, wasn't worth going down there knowing I would never get in. I think Donna got lucky.

sounds like fun good luck

Just ignore him. People on IORR got tired of his act and he's looking for a new audience. Stones should be hitting the stage soon.

Not that late here on the west coast. They'll probably be on by 9.

I bought this ticket in February for Blood Red Shoes. I left before New Build. Maybe I should have seen if it would have worked at the Echoplex.
