The u-view app mentioned in that teaser on their facebook site relates to Universal Music (thanks, Lefty, for pointing that out). So, I would imagine that the 'big news' theyre teasing their fanbase with is related to an upcoming release as opposed to an announcement about concert activity (I'll stick my neck out and say that - contrary to Mick's off the cuff comment to a journalist in London last month - I honestly don't think there will be any Stones concerts in 2012).
Universal will be releasing a multi-disc career-spanning compilation in the near future - supposely in November, but in time for the Christmas market at least. As I understand it (although this isnt confirmed) there will be a DVD included (I presume this will be a compilation of promo videos or something). I would expect SOME new and/or previously unreleased songs to be included.
Dont know how many discs we're talking about here but as it would tie in with 50 Years, I'd assume it'll be three audio discs (ie, enough for 50 songs). Whether there'll be extra discs worth of unreleased material I havent a clue but it would be a bit of a waste if they didnt have a tiered pricing structure which would include the option of additional unreleased material for the 'non casual fans' who already own several compilations and need a bit of a carrot dangled in front of them to get excited about this.
I agree. The DVD could quite possibly include the recently re-mastered music videos that have been appearing periodically on the band's Youtube
