Hmmm… speculation is fun… they need to record a new track or two if they're going to tour more legs…. but AIG is about tours… they don't really all need to be in the same place for a lot of the business stuff… unless they're doing both… that's my guess!

AIG is a life insurance company, not to be confused with AEG....a corporate gig looming?

you're right. sorry for my dumb mistake.

the t-shirt is for the all-blacks rugby team, and the
AIG insurance logo right smack in the middle is
very unpopular. but money talks.

i'll change the title of the thread.

But still the Stones are in snowy NYC on business,
and since they're all cold weather-adverse, a tour
announcement still seems like the most likely possibility as of now.

from other websites, it seems all 4 were sighted
dining together and staying together at a hotel
near Central Park.

oh god, what if it was the horse drawn carriages?

would that be mostly cool or mostly funny or mostly horrifying?

so many "age" jokes would be made.

it would get a lot of press though, because of how
hot the animal rights issue is currently with regard
to those horses.

tour announcement?
club show?
recording?

uh-oh.

photographer gavin bond says that charlie and ronnie
were not arriving at JFK, they were departing for London.

http://instagram.com/thegbe

ronnie arrived in NYC on Jan 29, and the "ronnie picks
up charlie at the airport" story never made sense

so i guess, just their normal annual business meeting,
maybe in NYC because Keith was unwilling to travel?

can't believe charlie has a blk carry on and he's pulling it!!

Charlie's expression is pretty hilarious.

maybe one of their business meetings...2015 tour ...

IF they were flying to New York from London, then there might be something, but I think they were flying onto London after probably visiting Keith in the Caribbean. Check out Ronnie's twitter page for what he was painting a few days ago. I hope there is something more to it, but I suspect they were just on holiday at Keith's.

I'm counting on another 80 track greatest hits package that I can just barely afford...but this time with a clearly agitated ground squirrel on the cover...

Those are Ronny's bags he is hauling. Typical Brit, Ronny is not a good tipper...hence Charlie's scowl. If the are returning from the tropics, i am surprised the wives are not with them. I am also surprised they would all holiday together...I mean, this isn't Hard Days Night now, is it?

Yup, print that cover and make sure it's got Miss You and Start Me Up

could this have something to do with the new Sticky deluxe?

Cant afford hotels, eh? Lets all crash at Keith's.Ronnie must be skint again.

Maybe they were just in NYC to supervise a few designs for the rs.com Valentines Day merchandise blitz.  That lot have certainly been giving it the hard sell in recent weeks. Theyve been pounding my e-mail inbox that much its been screaming out for some lube.

Priceless:

Weird Al Yankovic has already been revealed as one of the acts headed to the 21st annual edition of RBC Royal Bank Bluesfest, the multi-stage concert extravaganza set to take place July 9-19 at LeBreton Flats Park. The rest of the lineup is under wraps until spring

Whomever let this leak out should be fried in peanut oil and forced to listen to W.A.Y's music as they scream in pain!!

" Anyone seen this article -- first I have seen it.  "


Thanks Nanky !!!!!!    This is  " Hog "  Inducing !!!!!   :



" TD Place: The redeveloped facility at Lansdowne Park includes a spanking new hockey arena and a spacious football stadium, both waiting to be rocked by big-name artists. Already booked to kick off the arena’s concert calendar are hard-rock stalwarts Def Leppard, who play May 4. So far there are no shows officially announced for the stadium, but rumours are swirling that it will be a contender when AC/DC unveils the fall dates of the North American leg of their world tour. Also tantalizing is the possibility the Rolling Stones, who are planning a tour this summer, will return to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their last Ottawa date. "

From the IORR board:

"Back then their plans for the South America tour were still set for Feb/Mar 2015. Then the SA tour got delayed until late 2015, so I would assume all other plans are shifted accordingly.

I like Charlie's Louis Vuitton!

P.S.  I have 3 "Louis Vuitton" bags.  I bought mine at the Mission District in San Francisco.  You know from those ladies on the street.

Hey I have no idea whether Brian Jones is alive, if he was at Hyde Park, or whether Jagger has a small todger.

All I know that a Canadian publication said there are musings of a summer tour.

I know that a guy from IORR, who generally knows his shit, says there is a summer tour.

I know of a second Canadian source that says 3 shows minimum there..

I know that there are reports of SA in late 2015.

The Stones had their yearly meet and Charlie looked pissed.

And apparently I have a shitty attitude for pointing any of this out from Mr. 10K posts.

if Charlie looks pissed it means there will be a tour!

Hence is new Vuitton bags.

Thats a spoof site, you daft tit.  :forfucksake

They post the same story every few days and only change the artist's name around.

Its the same site that a few months ago had Charlie posting updates on twitter about his sick pet dog and asking fans to pray for its recovery.  And also posted about the Stones planning a 'comeback' tour in 2015 (despite the fact that they were already in the middle of a tour!)

A fact that is often overlooked.

Plans can and do change (they already have, quite a few times, in the last year or two, due to events beyond the band's control).  I've never heard of anyone posting on any forum who gets everything spot on all the time.

Think he's solid enough with this one, though. There are US arena dates in the offing for the Stones for 2015.

That's what I'm talking about!!!

" ..... During a radio interview Wednesday morning (Feb. 11), the guitarist reportedly said that the group had met in New York City for a band meeting - and please let me know, in the comments, what you think a Stones band meeting is like - and agreed to play a run of North American dates this coming summer. The shows would be the first performances since the death of longtime sax man Bobby Keys, who passed away at the end of 2014.

The Stones last toured the U.S. in 2013, as part of the band's "50 & Counting" golden-anniversary tour. They haven't performed in New Orleans since 1994's Voodoo Lounge tour.

30+ shows would take them about four months to complete. They're at a ratio of two shows a week now.

Not gonna happen. The days of competing with U2 and the like are over. Dudes are old. Its mini-tours all the way now.

Also overlooked, I think, is that if anyone is part of the
Stones informal info distribution network, they can
expect to occasionally be used to unwittingly spread
disinfo.

Part of the price of admission to the club.

I can personally confirm one case of this. I personally
started the rumor on one of the Stones fan sites that
the 2002 greatest hits package would be entitled
"War Horses". This was then confirmed by sources
to both Stonesdoug and BV, who both published the info.
To my great amusement.

Thats now been extended due to last winter's South American tour being shelved. Try and keep up.

After this summer it will be the fall .... after the fall it will be scehduled for the Holidays ...after the Holidays it will be Spring ... aren't you seeing a pattern here ... ?

I call this album ..<Keith's Democracy>..

No. I'm 'blaming' Argentina's economy (and L'wren Scott's suicide before it) for the fact that a Stones tour will now be likely to go into 2016, instead of ending in mid-2015.

Just like I can 'blame' the change in the UK tax laws in 1998 for the Stones doing the No security Tour in 1999...

Just like I can 'blame' the poor state of Asian economy and general infrastructure for their failure to extend the Voodoo Lounge tour into 1996 and the subsequent decision to record another album and go on a subsequent tour in 1997.

Just like I can 'blame' Keith banging his head in Fiji for the Bigger Bang Tour being extended into 2007 as half of the summer 2006 European tour got cancelled.

Strange as it may seem to some fans, the Stones arent so powerful that they can influence world events or various unforseen circumstances. Even despite the fact that they generate more money than the GNP of some third world countries.

Keith wants to tour solo (or at least play some shows) to promote his album when it comes out. Thats unlikely to happen until there's a window of opportunity to do so when the Stones are inactive.

Band commitments always take top priority. Anything else - side projects, movie production work, writing autobiographies, jazz club residencies, etc - get put on the back burner. None of them make as much money.



Its really not that difficult to comprehend for most people.

OK now! Just catching up on this thread and it sounds promising although not certain. Hopeful. Lots of variables as Gazza pointed out. 2 shows/week sounds right, most likely the larger cities with 2 shows each. West coast, Chicago, east coast and wrap it up in London?

No London this year, as far as I can see.

North America - summer 2015.

Latin America (barring more economic problems) -  late 2015

Nothing rumbling about where the North American shows are likely to be. My guess is a mix of the main markets and maybe some of the areas they missed in 2013. I doubt we'll hear anything for another month at least if we're talking about shows in June.

Unfortunately it'll probably depend again on who can afford them, really - thats why the 2013 tour excluded certain regions, ie not enough potential punters willing to throw $700 down for a concert ticket. Hard to see this year's tour reaching some of those places unless there's a bit more flexibility in their prices.

Thats the ticket. Go with a band who really can change world events !

And discounting "Live Licks", when was the last time the Stones presented you with a new album that hardly anyone asked for?

Ticket priced will probably be high, I'm sure the promotors will buy into the "unbiased" media's assessment that the economy here in the States is doing much better now... Ignoring the FACT that the average wage is at a 6 year low.

I really think you are going to get a show in Atlanta.
Or maybe they'll finally take you up on your offer to play in your backyard!! ;)

I hope they finally play in Austin. They've never been to Austin, not even once ever. They always fly over it and forget to land...Austin deserves it. Great little big town with plenty of wide open spaces. In fact, the last time they played in Austin they had a blast. Brought along Hamish and a camera...played some Bob Wills

Heck, why wouldn't they play Austin? Do it for Ian MacLagan...

They should play Luckenbach.

Atlanta aches for thee,
New Sticky tunes,
New gigs,
Summer of Stones!

dude?

The list I've seen seems kind of strange, almost NO shows in the cities they played in '13...start in Vancouver or Seattle, no LA, no Vegas, no Chicago, no Washington, DC..NYC shows not at MSG! Phoenix or Dallas....New Orleans, Detroit, Atlanta, Ft. Lauderdale(Maybe Miami) and possibly Orlando or Tampa too...Atlanta, Cleveland, Baltimore and Barclay Center.

I could drive to Cleveland. Baltimore is a cheap flight for me as well. Have friends to crash with in both areas as well.. Brooklyn also a possibility.

Flights to Atlanta and NOLA are high from Buffalo.

I have been predicting that the cities would NOT be the same as 2013.

Well these cities are interesting for sure! Hopefully the ticket prices will not be too high...just when I thought I would have the extra money to remodel my bathroom, lol, the Stones top my "To Do" list again!

Phoenix/Dallas  being the only show in the south-west with California and the mid-west being skipped entirely seems a very bizarre schedule, if thats the case.

Maybe it really is the last time. Just hitting the places they missed.

In theory it makes sense to do that, to satisfy demand and keep markets fresh.

However, not all markets are equal. A lot of the reasons for the cities chosen last time was probably down to them being highly populated areas with enough people wealthy enough to pay enough money to sustain one or two shows there.

For the same reason, the last European tour had a massive variety in ticket prices from one country to the next and avoided eastern Europe completely. If they return next year, you can bet its mostly going to be the same countries again. 

Oh Yeah!
I hope that Seattle and/or Vancouver BC become reality!
That would be GREAT!

Roadblock for The Rolling Stones to perform in Las Vegas

By Robin Leach Monday, Feb. 16, 2015 | 5:04 p.m.


http://photos.lasvegassun.com/media/img/photos/2013/05/11/168726950XX023_The_Rolling__t653.JPG
Ronnie Wood, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones perform at MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday, May 11, 2013.



Those mid-June plans for a Rolling Stones concert in Las Vegas have hit a roadblock, and I’m told that unless the group changes its mind, the music legends won’t be appearing here.

Originally the British rockers led by Mick Jagger had planned to include Las Vegas as a U.S. “14 On Fire Tour” stop in their current world tour.

The date of June 13 was penciled in at the 16,800-seat MGM Grand Garden Arena, but it turns out that bookings as far away as Europe and Australia have been juggernaut sellouts — in stadiums.

So promoters and management have apparently decided that the group will only play stadiums, not concert halls or arenas.

Even though we have 40,000 seats at Sam Boyd Stadium with room for thousands more standing on the field (remember The Grateful Dead had 125,533 fans there for its final show in 1995), it appears for now that Las Vegas is in jeopardy and struck from The Stones’ current concert plans.

Robin Leach has been a journalist for more than 50 years and has spent the past 15 years giving readers the inside scoop on Las Vegas, the world’s premier platinum playground.

http://lasvegassun.com/vegasdeluxe/2015/feb/16/roadblock-rolling-stones-perform-las-vegas/

The above story suggests a repeat of what happened in 2005 - the Stones had originally pencilled in a pretty even mix of stadiums and arenas only for wou;d-be promoters of several arena shows to collectively shit their pants when faced with the high risk of paying the Stones millions in guarantees and then risking losing money if the show didnt sell out.

The 2005 leg of the tour ended up being almost all stadium dates as a result.

The European tour last year sold well for the simple reason that in most cases the prices were the most affordable they'd been for most ticket buyers for Stones shows in a long time. Had they chosen to do an arena tour, things would have been quite different as hardly any promoters would have touched them - thats why they pulled the plug on an arena tour of some European cities that was due to take place in October-November 2013. 

Outside of a few countries in Northern Europe, a few cities in North America and some wealthy Asian markets like Tokyo or Abu Dhabi, you'll be hard pressed to find too many places where a promoter will take the risk of paying a band a guarantee of about $6-7 million a show when he has only about 15,000 - 20,000 tickets that he can sell. There's far less risk in a stadium gig (even though its more expensive to stage) because you can fit in another 30-40,000 people and make it reasonably affordable for some casual fans to attend.

Seems to me that if The Stones WANTED to play Vegas, especially with LA so close, they could put a little effort and make it some special evening and charge a premium price (it's Vegas right?) and be able to get the guarantee , guaranteed....then let a few morsels of that special evening carry on thru the rest of the tour.

I'm not loving the thought of Stadium shows but if they keep the tongue pit, that will be cool. Maybe they will play Giants Stadium in NJ again, it holds 85,000 . Barclay Center is not a Stadium, its an arena, so why play there unless its being controlled by who owns the venues.

You wouldnt get 85,000 in an all-seated gig at Giants Stadium though with a large (and possibly protruding) end stage. Maybe 55-60,000.

They can play indoor shows in some cities because there are enough people in that area willing to pay a high ticket price. New York would be the obvious example.

All conjecture at this point, anyway. An outdoor show in the desert in June sounds like a death wish for the band and audience alike. I'd be very surprised if this tour didnt feature some arena shows. They'd need to make the 'cheaper' tickets pretty cheap indeed if they're going to fill stadiums at this point as they had trouble even filling arenas last time.

"Baltimore is a cheap flight for me as well. Have friends to crash with in both areas as well."

My thinking is the rumors are coming in hard and fast that it is a stadium only tour. They would want sell outs all across the land. They would announce this is the final tour in order to pull that off.
This is it...

I don't think the Stones are capable of a 'final tour'...leading the fans on has become sort of a specialty.

No thanks.  :sad

I'm going to say if there's one Texas show it'll be in a stadium.
If two or three they have arenas in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio… The factors will be obvious, what makes more money and is also the easiest… it's a week of shows if they play three arenas, since they need days off…which makes more money, one stadium gig or three arenas, plus time and energy spent…?
I'm assuming one big show makes as much money with less effort… in June Dallas has a giant indoor stadium, brand new… I'm assuming I got a three hour drive in my summer plans, but I'd love a 90 minute or less to San Antonio for a smaller show.

I'm guessing large regional stadiums with high end tickets up close and scaled way back to fill the stadium.

Like this 10,000 seat avg $250 =2.5 million
30,000 seats at $100 = 3.0 million
10,000 seats at $75 = .75 million

Total gets you at that 6 million threshold. To make 6 million in a 16,000 seat arena average tix have to be $375 and I don't see that happening outside of the huge markets if at all.

If the most expensive tickets are only $250, I'll eat a Bon Jovi album!

You'll be lucky if thats the average price of an ticket. Even in a stadium.

I was just showing how possible it is to have reasonable ticket prices and still get to that $6 million gross level. Settle down over there!

Haha,

Yep. its certainly possible.

Although I'd imagine anyone promoting the show would want to make a sizeable profit when trying to fill a 50,000 seater stadium. Think you'd presumably have to factor taxes into that as well.

Yes and don't forget our "friends" over at Ticketbastard adding another $50 for no apparent reason for our convenience!

No reason?

There are two

1) It's a ticket. and
2) They are bastards.

After considering the evidence, I guess I'm ready to
make my guess:

Except for maybe one or two festival appearances, all
super-expensive arena shows, featuring Taylor and Denson
on "Can't you hear me knocking" plus Taylor and his electric
guitar on at least one other song.

Something's going on, goddamn it!

Based on hints thrown out by the Moderator of another site (his initals are BV), the following inferences have been made:

--The Tour will be small; we should not expect too many dates.
--The Band seems to be booking several Saturdays
--Stadiums are favored over arenas
--These shows are not to be missed
--Sticky Fingers will pay a prominent role; perhaps being played in its entirety.

WHEN WILL WE HEAR SOMETHING CONCRETE FROM THE BAND???!!!

Two things comes to mind when a dirty tease like that is thrown out:

1) Total crap and it's just publicity to get people interested, especially if stadiums are favored.

2) It is just like the two chiefs to no longer invite Mick Taylor when they decide to play the whole album in its entirety. Even if he is invited for his 1 song, it will probably be on Streets of Shite with his guitar muted, while we get some toss pot guest for Sticky Fingers.

Mick was karioking with Courtney Love the other night...maybe a duet of Sister Morphine is in the works?

For those of you keeping score at home:

Mick Taylor – lead guitar; acoustic guitar on "Wild Horses"; rhythm guitar on the first part of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and "Bitch"; slide guitar on "Sway" and "You Gotta Move"; lead guitar on "Dead Flowers" "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" "Moonlight Mile" "Sway" (not present during "Sister Morphine" sessions)

There is no way they would ever play Sticky Fingers in it's entirety. That's too much nostalgia for this band and the closing four numbers are all slow, acoustic based tracks. Only the die hards would enjoy this.

The Stones don't play four slow acoustic numbers in a row. 

More speculation (by a different moderator) of cities that will get shows:

Orlando
Atlanta
Pittsburgh
Detroit
San Diego
Nashville
drum roll................................
BUFFALO

This is not the first time I've heard my hometown mentioned.

And please do not shoot the messenger.

This is crazy news. I kinda thought this was bullshit so didn't get my hopes up for being in the country when this happened, but really?

Can I start to get excited now, LJ?

Encouraging!

It's happening Ms Rat. June and July.

And Nanky, how cool would it be for you to return to the venue where you first saw them??

Needless to say it would be very meaningful for me to close the circle where it all began.

The circle is far from closing!

I am typing this with my nipples!

Thats what they did in Australia. Two shows a week - so one of them on a weekend.

If you're playing stadiums it makes sense to play them at weekends to maximise ticket sales.

'these shows are not to be missed' - he's hardly going to say 'they're going to be underwhelming', lets face it! :-)

Yes, g/k!!! It would be my honor.

If it's true, I'm hoping everyone who has ever seen them in Buffalo, will return!!!!

If there is one thing we do well here (besides clearing snow), it's eat and drink CHEAPLY!!!!! I can assure you a kick ass tailgate party.

Wish they would follow Dylan's model and play minor league baseball stadiums...it seems there is much money to be made that way...but then again, the timing is all wrong since the Boys of Summer will be in full force

Gazza probably knows better than I, but I think this has always been too much to hope for in terms of Mick's, like, well, even his freakin' worldview. We know Keith would do this in a heartbeat, because he has done. But Mick, I think he just thinks it's not the best ROI scenario and doesn't have time for the sentimentality of the idea in the first place.

I think the issue with minor league parks is:

A....they are minor league cities (sorry no offence)
B.... you could easily hang outside and listen for free
C.... Image of them lowering their "standards"

cool idea but can't see it working for the Stones

Maybe the Sticky Fingers theme tour rumor is because the Sticky Deluxe may have some great new material. Imagine we get 8-10 smoking new tunes with that Sticky swing.
I want the song of the Summer '15 to be new Stones!

I think it is time to say it, maybe get through to the boys.

Open with Sympathy for the Devil.
Especially if in stadiums.
Light it up -- fire, fire eaters, fire breathing dragons, videos of shit burning.

If you dont do it now, when will you ever?
And if you never do it, it will be the #1 Lost Rock & Roll Opportunities of all time.

All time.

Years from now, THAT alone will be your legacy fellas.
You had the bestest most awesomest songs ever for an opener.  And you never did it as an opener.

What a Shame

I'd be surprised if theres no Ohio show this time. I'd heard Cleveland mentioned previously, but that'd be even nicer for some of our regulars if its Columbus instead.

State College has also been mentioned as a possible show for Pennsylvania although the indications seem to be it'll be Pittsburgh.

I wish they'd follow every other major act's model, let alone Dylan.

All about the maximum financial gain for minimal artistic or musical effort unfortunately.

Its never going to change at this stage. They're just not interested.

We either choose to go along with it (even if with some reservations) or we don't.

State College? What a horrible idea. I've been there a few times. Not a lot of disposable income outside of the college area.

Yeah, seems a strange one unless they bring back the '2 for 1 student discounts' that they used to pad out the cheap seats in stadiums on the fall 2006 leg.

I'd actually heard both State College and Pittsburgh mentioned but if theyre only playing the usual amount of shows (15-16 or so) that sounds implausible.

I think we'd like to believe in the romanticism of the rest of the band holding that view, but I'm not convinced of it personally. Either its a band decision to play these enormodomes for silly prices or the other three just delegate it to Mick to work out the deals with the promoters that always seem to ensure a tour is geared towards megabucks above every other priority.

Mick's the easy target for any dissatisfaction over their MO because he's personified as the hard nosed businessman, but theyre all culpable for either agreeing to go along with it or not giving enough of a shit to push for a change.

I will not get excited at a rumor......,but Columbus would make the ticket prices a wee bit more acceptable as I would not have travel expenses.  My luck is that it will be the week I have planned a vacation trip....

The Stones had trouble moving the higher priced tickets in Philadelphia from what I recall. Playing 4 hours west of Philadelphia in a traditional college town doesn't sound like the way to sell out a show unless these shows feature cheap tickets.

I'll keep my browser set to www.rollingstones.com for official news.

Seems like a strange group of cities to me. As in the header, where is NY? I heard Forest Hills. Last tour we were guessing cities and most ended up correct but a few weren't. I think that will happen again this time too.

Oh Nanky, I've given them plenty of my money over the years.
If what they're offering is another overpriced stadium show with a boring setlist and a guest appearance by Justin Bieber or some other turd, so be it but I'm not paying for that. If they offer something worth the price, I'll happily buy it.

the header only related to a story that the Stones were meeting in New York

They almost exclusively stuck to 'A' markets in 2013. Some of which got more than one shows. Reason for that being the shows were so expensive there were very few markets where there was enough interest to pay that sort of money.

This time they're more likely to try out a few more 'B' markets as they may have milked dry some of the larger ones. Playing minor markets wouldnt have been feasible had they kept the same formula as 2013. (similarly, they played stadium sized venues in Europe in 2014 because when they investigated the possibility of an arena tour there in late 2013 they soon found out that promoters in most countries wouldnt take the risk)

Playing some of the shows in stadiums allows them to keep the more ridiculous prices for the best tickets, but allows more manoevre for a more affordable range of tickets. An option which is much more attractive for a potential promoter than having to charge an average ticket price of about $300- 400 to break even as was the case two years ago. 


They havent played the New York area since Dec 2012 have they? Forest Hills seems an odd choice if thats where theyre going as it only holds about 14-15,000. They'll probably promote that by trying to convince you its akin to a club show by Stones standards. Dont expect too many seats to be available in the cheapest price range for that one!

I was bitchy yesterday -- what with my shitty attitude and all.

No one wants to plunk down the kind of money they will be asking, only to see the same damn thing yet again.

I get that - I do, really.

BUT....they are still my band.
I will still go see them -- even though it is not the ideal.
They are still touring at their age, and I respect that.
They give you a good show and the concert is really an excuse as Mick once noted.  The fun in going to a new city, hanging with fellow Stones idiots and having a good time.

It is what separates us from the Beatles fans.

"The Rolling Stones Tour in North America will start late May 2015. They will tour across North America including a date in Canada as well as approx fourteen dates in USA. The tour will end mid July. There will be mainly stadium shows, with outdoor amphi theatre and festival shows included in the tour. The Rolling Stones will do shows both on the West Coast and the East Coast. Prepare for a great Stones summer in North America!

Still no Sticky Deluxe news, odd.

Late May now

We should be getting a formal announcement soon.

Goddam it

I wonder which festival(s) they will play. Bonnaroo is the biggest one in that timeframe, I think. Rock in Rio in Vegas is mid-May, so....

I see bv has listed Red Rocks in Colorado as a rumoured venue (its the first specific location he's listed on that tour dates page to date)

That would be an utterly amazing venue for a Stones gig and one that they're long overdue in playing.

I've just contacted Jaxx to tell her. I think when she hears that she might spontaneously combust.

I was wondering what sheds they would play. Red Rocks would be awesome. I've always wanted to go there. Wonder which body part I'll have to sell.

And the Battle for gross has started:

With the European tour dates now completely sold out, an eighth and final show at Madison Square Garden has been confirmed for July 31st.

This will be the last North American concert on U2's iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour before it moves to Turin, Italy on September 4th and 5th.

Tickets for this show will go on sale next Friday, March 13th, at 10am local time.

(I think not just Taylor for these shows, but Wyman too)

(I also still think no stadiums. The "stadiums" rumor
will turn out to be a "mistaken" or "alternate"
translation of "amphitheater", that is, outdoor arena)

Told ya :-)

Delighted for you. If the Stones finally played my hometown (they disgracefully havent done since 1965) I dont think I'd need to go to another show again.

Seems to be really taking shape now, going by various reports and rumours.

Perm any 15 shows from :

San Diego
LA
Denver (red Rocks)
Columbus/Cleveland
Pacific North-west
another mid-west venue (I've heard Noblesville, In mentioned)
Pittsburgh
Atlanta
Fort Lauderdale/Tampa
Buffalo
NY/NJ
Dallas/Houston
Eastern Canada

No doubt one or two of these places may get more than one show - and I've probably missed a couple of possibles/probables that just havent been widely rumoured.

I'd be very surprised if they play two cities in southern California and miss out the north of the state completely as they always sell plenty of tickets there.

Its also quite possible that Mexico might be included on this leg of the tour instead of the South American one (as was the case when they went there in 1998). Makes more sense logistically. Dont know if Voodoo has heard anything.

Plenty of outdoor sheds and ampitheatres seem to be under consideration this year which is probably a bit of compromise between arenas and stadiums - although saying that, Red Rocks is very small for a Stones concert.

I guess they liked the Berlin experience last year. I know I did.

*****************************************
<  ------------ The Stones have not performed in Kansas City since April 1999 ( Great Show at the Old Kemper Arena )

I keep hoping Joey!

Although Kemper is a pit now.  The city is talking about tearing it down.

The Sprint Center, which is owned by AEG, would be good.  There is also Sporting Park that holds about 25,000 and if they want a big midwest venue there is always Arrowhead Stadium.

If its stadiums at their current price structure....I'm buying up all the stock in tarp companies.

[url=http://s9.photobucket.com/user/LadyJane1/media/Rolling Stones2.jpg.html]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/LadyJane1/RollingStones2.jpg[/url] Told ya :-) Delighted for you. If the Stones finally played my hometown (they disgracefully havent done since 1965) I dont think I'd need to go to another show again. Seems to be really taking shape now, going by various reports and rumours. Perm any 15 shows from : San Diego LA Denver (red Rocks) Columbus/Cleveland Pacific North-west another mid-west venue (I've heard Noblesville, In mentioned) Pittsburgh Atlanta Fort Lauderdale/Tampa Buffalo NY/NJ Dallas/Houston Eastern Canada No doubt one or two of these places may get more than one show - and I've probably missed a couple of possibles/probables that just havent been widely rumoured. I'd be very surprised if they play two cities in southern California and miss out the north of the state completely as they always sell plenty of tickets there. Its also quite possible that Mexico might be included on this leg of the tour instead of the South American one (as was the case when they went there in 1998). Makes more sense logistically. Dont know if Voodoo has heard anything. Plenty of outdoor sheds and ampitheatres seem to be under consideration this year which is probably a bit of compromise between arenas and stadiums - although saying that, Red Rocks is very small for a Stones concert. I guess they liked the Berlin experience last year. I know I did. Noblesville?Now your just making shit up?! :interestingstuffronnie But Red Rocks? That gives me movement. :wtf2

Seems a long shot to me as I dont think theyve played Indiana since 1994 - and that show was poorly attended.

But there's seemingly no Chicago date, and Noblesville is about 180 miles away and has an outdoor ampitheatre/shed that holds about 25,000.

AEG were involved with the 50 and Counting Shows werent they - and all three venues used (including the 02 in London) are AEG venues. 

I dont think they'd have exclusive rights though and I cant imagine a deal with them would prevent shows from taking place at other venues. That Indiana place I mentioned earlier is a Live Nation venue, I believe.

Farmer's Field in LA is still under construction so we can rule that out. 

I'm just reading on facebook speculation that the LA show will be at Dodger Stadium

I'd personally be horrified at the thought of being run over by a car and found to have a ticket for a show at a place called 'Jiffy Lube Live' in my wallet when the police are rummaging through my belongings looking for ID.

Here's the kicker...it is listed as Bristow but is on the border of Manassas VA.(as in the Stephan Stills side project)..

Jiffy Lube in Manassas... Ask TomL and Nanky about it...I am sure they have been many times as it is in their neck of Virginia.

in case you dont know it, Jiffy Lube is a 30 min oil change chain here in NA...oil change with the complimentary upcharge for 27 extras with their "free" 30 point check-up.

Used to be the Nissan center...horrible place for a show due to traffic in/out...though it has gotten better I understand since they added more access. It's about 20 years old...seen about a dozen shows there including Neil Young and Crazy Horse from the proverbial front row center....also Bowie/NIN, Further, HORDE, Aerosmith, Kiss, and others. Even proposed to my wife there while Peter Gabriel sang "In Your Eyes".

For those of us not living in the US and who have no concept of where road names lead to, unless they're on a Bruce Springsteen record.

Ah ok. Just checked a map. It runs north from Kansas City, through a bit of Nebraska,  Iowa and the Dakotas.

Guess thats the 'mid west' show then.

Driving 'down' it from Omaha (ie going south) would be to Kansas City, I suppose.

Since this appears to be a new Tour as opposed to a contination of 50 and Counting, I'm wondering how much they'll change things up other than the absence of Taylor.

Different/new stages?
Different setlists?
Loss of the choir on YCAGWYW?


We need an announcement SOON.
All of the speculation is driving me crazier than I already am.

FYI
Farmers Field in Los Angeles does not exist and perhaps never will. The "planned" Farmers Field is currently the LA Convention Center which is next door to Staples Center.

With other proposals for football stadiums in different areas it makes it more unlikely a stadium will be built there in the near future.

This week ten years ago, the Stones were at Mick's house working on the final Bigger Bang sessions.

Ronnie wasnt there - he was not long out of rehab and was rehearsing for that weekend's "Ronnie Wood & Fiends" concert at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane which was aimed at getting him back into shape again for performing (a show I attended and which was highlighted by a breathtaking cameo appearance by Mick)

The sessions resumed for a week or two afterwards, with Ronnie adding a few guitar parts.

And apart from 3-4 days in Paris in August 2012 to cut the two new songs for 'Grrr' thats the last time the Rolling Stones were in a recording studio together, kids.

Wow, 10 years already. Hard to believe--seems just like yesterday we were hanging out at Pam's and looking for Tele (hehehe).

Boomy, I think Tele just stepped out to get his wallet. He'll be back any minute.

Jiffy Lube Live!!

Yeah that could get you investigated for something odd!!

Nice open air amp
Traffic in and out is horrible and while beer is available, don't try to roast anything.

BUT, should they play there, it is just a spit & a holler down the 4-lane!!

Rolling Stones To Tour North America
by STEVE SPOHN

Look for an official Rolling Stones tour announcement coming up, maybe as soon as this week. The legendary band will be announcing the re-issue of their classic 1971 album, Sticky Fingers, in addition to a 14-city North American trek.

Reportedly, the band will play the entire Sticky Fingers album each show. Tracks include: “Bitch,” “Wild Horses,” “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” (video below), “Brown Sugar,” “You Gotta Move” (video below) and “Dead Flowers.”

The tour is to kickoff in late May at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and then head down to San Diego (though that could be in reverse order as the schedule has yet to be finalized). The one firm date is July 4th at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Other dates are to include Red Rocks in Colorado, Buffalo, Pittsburgh and somewhere in NYC. There will Canadian cities on the tour, which could include a festival.

The inside scoop is that the tour venues (not surprisingly) will be stadiums and amphitheaters. There could also be a Los Angeles promotional warm-up show of some sort in late May.

Lastly, Ron Wood is releasing a book of his 1965 tour diary in June to coincide with these upcoming show dates. Read more about Ronnie’s project here.

To get you in the mood, here’s “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” with the late, great Bobby Keys on sax:

http://songmango.com/rolling-stones-to-tour-north-america/

Beautiful.

Simply beautiful.

I need a few minutes to let this information sink in fully.

So based on this, there are quite a few places that are within striking distance.

Buffalo -- cool for me on so many levels. 

Pittsburgh.  One for TomL and easy striking distance.

Red Rocks - since New Orleans does not seem to be on the list, may have to consider Colorado.

Boomy!
Your 4th is set.
Get yourself a great big cooler full of grub and hootch, gussy up the missus, and off ya go!

Wow.  A lot to consider.

Maybe it's me, but I've always had the impression that "sheds" like Jiffy Lube Live were beneath the Stones. It's not often you see prestige acts playing in them. Bruce was an exception, but that was for his Sessions tour.

I honestly think that a lot of that has just been lifted from fan speculation on IORR, Shidoobee, here and other places. Bjornulf is a better source of info than your average reporter.

While I'd heard Indiana mentioned, that specific venue and date is the only real bit of news there.

Count me in as being very sceptical about the chances of the Stones devoting half of the show in stadiums in what is mostly (at best) secondary markets to playing Sticky Fingers in it's entirety.

I thought that too when I first read it.
Sounded like it could have been written after reading this thread!!

But the author bio at the end of the story suggests he is pretty connected with the NJ/NY radio market.

I dunno - time will tell.

Nice to see these guys getting us batshit crazy after all these years.
Luckiest fans ever!!!
:wtf1 :perverted :areyoufuckingserious :aimama

I shall continue to click the heels of my ruby slippers and chant:
"There's no place like Buffalo."
"There's no place like Buffalo."
"There's no place like Buffalo."

I am probably wrong, but it seems weird that they would play a gig on a holiday in the US. Most people are at the lake or BBQing on the 4th of July. I for sure would be there since it's close to me, but I don't remember them ever playing on a holiday here.

I don't know, have the Stones ever had a 4th of July gig in the US?

July 4, 1978.
Buffalo, NY.
A great show!

Ah, there we go!

Well if they do all 10 songs from sticky fingers that leaves
SMU
Miss You
SFTD
Gimmie Shelter
Keef song
keef song
Dice
Satisfaction
YCAGWYW

One show for me will be good enough.

July 4, 1978. Buffalo, NY. A great show!

It looks as if I will have to make my way to western NY. I grew up there but had no interest in returning but it take the Stones to change that. Fucking amazing.

"Jump on top of me, give it to me nice and slow." J/R

only song I have not heard is I got the blues live.

As much as I'd love to see the Stones at the Hollywood Bowl, "late May" is a bit booked up. The last two weekends have Neil Diamond, Train, Tony Bennett, and Lady Gaga scheduled. I guess the Stones could slot in before May 20, but it would likely have to be a weekday show.

Count me in as skeptical that they will play SF in its entirety. As awesome as that would be, I just can't see them devoting that much setlist time to some of the deeper cuts (MM, etc.). And if Mick Taylor isn't going to be there, then why bother?

Apart from the Buffalo show in '78 that LJ was at they played a show on that date at RFK Stadium in DC in 1972.

I think it was the only stadium gig of that tour and in fact the first bonafide stadium gig they ever played.

Its mentioned in Greenfield's STP book of that tour. 47,000 people attended - and over 60 of them were arrested.

They also played Virginia Beach, Va in 1966 and a stadium show in Memphis in 1975.

I think its quite possible that they might announce in advance that a specific show might feature the album being performed - just so potential ticket buyers dont get a rude awakening when they deviate from the standard format.

But the whole tour? It'd be the biggest surprise ever for me if they did that. And a bit weird to do it now for a 44-year old album - even more so if the rumours about Taylor being shitcanned turn out to be true.

I'm highly skeptical of the Sticky-Fingers-in-its-entirety rumor. But it would make sense, in that the Stones, and Mick in particular, are always a few years behind the curve on things. Playing albums in full was a thing five or six years ago. The Stones would be arriving late to the concept like they did with MTV's Unplugged; and, in Mick's case, to the concept of "duetting" with the likes of Rob Thomas.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway? That place holds 500,000. Their isn't enough tarps in the world for that gig.

Buffalo news tweeting Stones to play what use to be Rich Stadium this summer. To be honest never thought they would play in WNY again.

This is how RS.com gets its news updates

http://www.buffalonews.com/gusto/music/rumors-circulate-suggesting-rolling-stones-buffalo-show-this-summer-20150310




Could the Rolling Stones be rolling into Buffalo? Could be.

According to the music news web site SongMango.com, the legendary rockers will be announcing a summer, 2015 stadium tour within the next week. The band is said to be touring in support of the deluxe reissue of their classic “Sticky Fingers.” The tour will find the band performing the entire album in 14 cities. One of them, according to SongMango.com, will be Buffalo. Since this is a stadium tour, that would mean Ralph Wilson Stadium would be the venue of choice.

“Reportedly – without being officially confirmed – The Stones will play Milwaukee on June 23rd and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 4th,” reads the SongMango.com piece, in part. “ Other stops are to include Red Rocks in Colorado, Buffalo, Pittsburgh and somewhere in NYC. There will be Canadian cities on the tour, which could include a festival.”

If this turns out to be true, this would be the first time the Stones played Buffalo since the 1997 “Bridges to Babylon” tour and the fifth time in their history



This sounds like ROCKSOFF is their sourcr!!

The last 2 Posts were moved here from MAIN BOARD by Unholy Trinity.

I've re-titled the thread to make it look more relevant. we can keep all the tour rumours and various news stories in one thread - when its announced officially there'll be a separate thread for ticket info, etc.

Maybe seeing its a holiday they'll make it a free gig.

A free Rolling Stones show in front of half a million people at a motor speedway, with most of the crowd shitfaced.

Surely nothing could go wrong there?

Indeed. All the information is gleaned from IORR, RocksOff and Shidoobee. Why are only a few cities mentioned in these news articles? There are at least 15 concerts/cities on this tour. Only 3-4 cities keep coming up. And no mention of a concert that may be right in your neighborhood (40 min. drive), Paranoid Android?

You're such a tease, Izzy.... ;-)

Has anyone ever heard of 'the music news website SongMango.com' before today? Its a new one on me.

1) indy 500 concerts are in a corner of the place,
"turn 3" or something like that. 20,000 or however
many tickets they sell

2) no mention yet of AEG or anyone big like that.
possibly the Stones are co-promoting with local
promoters and/or the venues themselves?

I would be shocked beyond belief if they play Sticky Fingers. There's just no way they would perform I Got The Blues, Sister Morphine, Dead Flowers and Moonlight Mile and keep the casual fans interested.

Hell, die hards walk out during Keith's numbers.

I call BS on this rumor, especially since Sticky Fingers isn't a party record outside of Brown Sugar, Bitch and Can't You Hear Me Knocking...

Another scenario for Indy that would work quite well
I think would be similar to the above ("rings" of
general admission tiks diminishing in price as one
moves outward) with the remainder of the place
free (including July 4 fireworks).

the stones doing a (partially) free concert at a
speedway, that would get lots of press, and still
be a very nice family outing.

As funky, in parts, as possible please.

Meanwhile Chic will be back with a 'new' album and Bob Cleartrousers celebrated rotten.

If Hey Negrita or Hoot Stuff isn't played on this tour I will eat my halal sub.

Will we get an announcement today??

Why are only a few cities mentioned in these news articles? There are at least 15 concerts/cities on this tour. Only 3-4 cities keep coming up. And no mention of a concert that may be right in your neighborhood (40 min. drive), Paranoid Android?

I know...We have arenas...amphitheaters...stadiums in North Cackilacky...the Stones even played at Duke University in 2005/6...I would settle for Charlotte or Charlotteville where I saw the infamous bomb threat show (my personal Altamont). I should never have moved out of DC...thanks for reminding me I live in a black hole

HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO CONCENTRATE???!!!

Will the Rolling Stones' summer tour come to Buffalo? Sources say so
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Rolling Stones are gearing up for a massive summer tour in 2015, one that might be stopping in Buffalo.

The Buffalo News on Tuesday pointed to online speculation that the Rolling Stones would perform at Ralph Wilson Stadium on their 2015 summer tour.

According to SongMango.com, the Stones' 14-city North American tour will stop in Buffalo in addition to Pittsburgh, New York and Red Rocks Amphitheater in Golden, Colo. Since it is a stadium tour, the show would most likely go to the home of the Bills in Orchard Park.

The band is expected to announce official tour dates as early as Wednesday, March 11.

The Stones would not be the first announced concert at Ralph Wilson Stadium this summer. One Direction plays at the home of the Bills on Thursday, Sept. 3.

The stadium completed renovations earlier this year and officials have expressed a desire to host more concerts. It's been 14 years since the Ralph hosted a major show.

"One of the goals of the recent renovations to Ralph Wilson Stadium was to make it a multi-purpose facility," Buffalo Bills President Russ Brandon said in a press release. "We're thrilled to bring concerts back to the Ralph, and we know our region will bring the same excitement they bring to the stadium on game days."

The last time the Rolling Stones played in Buffalo was in 1997 on the Bridges to Babylon tour. They performed at the Bills stadium that year, too, which was then called Rich Stadium

Verbal confirmation that the rumors are speculative and the four cities mentioned are poised to host the Stones should there be any type of official announcement in the near future:

I cannot believe that EVERYONE is quoting SongMango.com...like Gazza said earlier...who/where  the fuck were these guys 3 days ago??

"I cannot believe that EVERYONE is quoting SongMango.com...like Gazza said earlier...who/where  the fuck were these guys 3 days ago??"

I have to believe that all of these outlets are not going purely on the SongMango article.  Just as I don't believe the SongMango article was built purely on rumors of this and other boards.

There is a tour coming.
It has to be announced soon given the timing of the shows.
Many of the "rumors" have been leaking out of camps in the know.
So doubt all you want pal, but where there is smoke there is often fire.

Oh, I dont doubt there will a tour announcment made very soon...but everyone is saying the same thing...quoting SongMango (presumably, since they were the first to actually "say it")..and I do not think it is too far fetched that they got their news from RO or any other fan board...there are a few reliable sources here and on Shidoobee et al...and dont doubt I wont be jiffy lubing with you TomL , L J , and  Saint Of Me either!!

That sounds gross

That's a whole different set of rumors!

Steel Wheels wrote on Mar 10^th, 2015 at 9:00pm:

I would be shocked beyond belief if they play Sticky Fingers. There's just no way they would perform I Got The Blues, Sister Morphine, Dead Flowers and Moonlight Mile and keep the casual fans interested. Hell, die hards walk out during Keith's numbers. I call BS on this rumor, especially since Sticky Fingers isn't a party record outside of Brown Sugar, Bitch and Can't You Hear Me Knocking...

True, although maybe as much to do with the audience's ageing and deteriorating bladders as anything else. :-)

The reason why the shows have become more of a warhorse fest each year is because MICK thinks the crowd will get bored if HE sings anything else. Thats right, the greatest front man on earth appears to have self confidence issues in keeping an audience entertained for prolonged periods.

He even mentioned that on the No Security tour when they'd dig out stuff like 'Moonlight Mile' and he'd look down at the front rows who would be looking back at him as if to say "what the fuck is this?" (his words).

And that was back in the days when a Stones audience mostly consisted of people who actually bought their records.

As you said above and earlier in the thread - playing a suite of songs thats mostly going to consist of slow stuff like Moonlight Mile, Sister Morphine, You Gotta Move and the like?

They'd have got away with that 20 years ago and maybe back then they would have had the balls to try it. But to attempt it now? In a stadium?

Hard to imagine, to be honest.

Lisa Fischer's show in Victoria, BC on June 23rd rescheduled to the following day due to a 'scheduling conflict' due to the Stones' "just announced tour" (ahem)

Been waiting for my local connections to kick in. Just received this Private Message via Facebook:

"I have a friend who works for the Bills. She is at Ralph Wilson now. She just posted on facebook "All signs point to Rolling Stones 3rd week in July".

Could the last show of the tour be here???
Just like Aug of 1975!!!!?????

Please don't feel so geographically excluded; you now live very close to a tour stop planned for Raleigh N.C.

To quote Lady Jane...
"THUD"

wow the internet is on fire with this sticky fingers rumour...

and when I say on fire I mean I saw 2 posts on FB quoting the same source.

Fantastic news. surely this means they will
also perform Exile in it's entire at some point.

it's only logical.

I'm gonna post it right now all over the wide webs AND the internets.

I read this on Facebook:

The Stones' 2015 North American Tour - running from late May into July - is expected to be confirmed in the next few days, with some 14-15 shows to be announced. Its believed that most shows will take place in cities which the band DIDN'T visit in 2013 and it'll be a mixture of arenas, stadiums, outdoor amphitheaters and maybe some festival sites.Amongst the cities heavily rumored :

San Diego
Los Angeles
Denver (Red Rocks)
Kansas City
Indianapolis
Milwaukee
Buffalo
Pittsburgh
New York
Columbus/Cleveland
Atlanta

plus possibly a show in Florida, one in the Pacific Northwest and one in Canada.

This list isn't exhaustive and obviously none of these locations are official as yet
so some may not happen

Grrr!

Another SongMango quote:

http://www.post-gazette.com/ae/music/2015/03/11/Rolling-Stones-to-play-Heinz-Field-Pittsburgh-June-20/stories/201503110072

Looks like we might be in for a British Invasion.

Reports on various websites this week indicate The Rolling Stones will announce a 14-date summer tour as early as today and Pittsburgh is expected to be one of the cities.

According to Songmango.com, the legendary band will play the entire "Sticky Fingers" album each show, tied to the re-issue of the 1971 classic that included such songs as "Brown Sugar," "Wild Horses" and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" (along with a very druggy side two with rarely played “Sister Morphine”). There is no word yet whether Mick Taylor, the guitarist featured on that record, will join the band on tour.

It is expected to kick off in late May at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The local date, according to sources, will be June 20 at Heinz Field, marking the band's first appearance at the North Shore stadium.

The last time we saw the Rolling Stones here was September 2005 at PNC Park on The Bigger Bang Tour, which ran through 2007. There was no Pittsburgh date when the Stones regrouped for The 50 & Counting Tour, celebrating their 50th anniversary, in 2013.

The Stones played their first Pittsburgh show 51 years ago on June 17, 1964, at the West View Park Danceland.

Songmango also reports that to coincide with these upcoming dates, Ron Wood is releasing a book of his 1965 tour diary in June. The Stones did their first large-scale Pittsburgh show that year, headlining the Civic Arena on Nov. 24 with the Byrds.

And another NOT quoting SongMango:

http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/blogs/295956931.html

Rolling Stones fans’ tongues are wagging over rising rumors that the bad septuagenarians of British rock ‘n’ roll are getting ready to announce a U.S. summer tour. There’s no official word yet, but local sources have pointed to the itinerary including a Minneapolis date at TCF Bank Stadium sometime in June.



Adding more enticement to the tour rumors: There’s widespread speculation that the band plans to play its landmark 1971 album “Sticky Fingers” in its entirety at shows this summer. That’s the record that gave us “Brown Sugar,” “Wild Horses” and “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” (and fan-beloved deep cuts like “Sway,” “Moonlight Mile” and “Sister Morphine”).

Minneapolis is not mentioned as one of the cities in current reports going around the web, such as a widely circulated story on the music news site SongMango. However, a June 22 date in Milwaukee has been listed, which could mean the Twin Cities comes before or after that show. (Or it at least points to a good road trip opportunity for Minnesota fans).

The rumored kick-off date for the tour is May 24 in San Diego, and shows at the Hollywood Bowl, Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater and Indianapolis Motor Speedway are also cited. All that points to them planning to play outdoor venues like the Gophers Stadium.

Mick and the gang are definitely due here. Their last Twin Cities performance was in September 2005 at Xcel Energy Center.

Again, though, this is all just speculation. Don’t take out your bank loan quite yet if you want to plan ahead to buy tickets.
