I dunno. I am usually the optimist on the board... but I gotta say... there are "no" indications of a tour or set of shows in the spring, or early summer.
There have been plenty of indications for anyone paying attention.

It's already March. We would of heard something much more concrete by now if they were going to be getting going again. If they wait too long they will be rusty again and that is becoming a reality around now.
Rehearsals start at the end of April for shows in June. This is straight from the horses mouth.
Quote:There is NO PART 2 to the 50th thing. There is NO Extension. That's over. Onward and new chapter. Prolly in the fall they "may" plan on something but right now... nuttin seems to be on deck for the spring or summer. Even Jagger remarked that "April" would be too early for them. There's your answer = nothing this spring for certain...and most likely nothing for summer unless it is late summer. Fall will most likely be a time to consider if they plan on anything this year.
The problem with Coachella wasn't the timing but because they wanted too much money and Goldenvoice doesn't need to shell out $16 million for any single band.

sure there were indicators here but it was simply rumors and many unconfirmed things. "straight from the horsey's" mouth you say ... now THAT is what I was looking for. For the record: Gazza also pointed out they would certainly be playing shows by summer. I believed him...but he never said anything eles about it and so I figured that was off.
Now, THIS is the most concrete thing I ever heard about it. Sounds great but as for me... I say get started on an album.
