Europe next? (October/November 2013)
Jun 27^th, 2013 at 6:06am

Hearing this morning that the next round of shows will be in October - November and will be concentrated in Scandinavia, Germany and the Netherlands - which are, not coincidentally I'm sure, the strongest economic regions in continental Europe!

The only venue I've heard mentioned so far is the Telenor Arena in Oslo. There's a newly opened arena in Amsterdam which the Stones have never played in before - the Ziggodome - so I'd expect some shows there too.

No info on an official announcement yet.

I'll put in a nice word.

Look it at this way. They're not going to skip France. Especially Paris. If they dont play there this time, then I think you can be confident that there'll be more shows beyond 2013 and it'll be included in a future mini tour.

The answer could be a Euro keg party bus. If there's no such thing, then they need to get their shit together. It's the only way to roll.

I always expected to get back to Amsterdam but to do a preparty at a coffee house.......holy fuck!

As you can see we had a good time checking out the options for Amsterdam. I hope SV and Peter find the time to do it again someday soon.

Anyway: The Ziggo Dome would be great for the Stones. Me and 18.000 others saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse there a few weeks ago: good sound, plenty locations where you can buy a beer (expensive though, but all those venues are) and from what I hear from people who were seated closer to the roof the show is enjoyable in every corner of the venue.

Mick Jagger: 'Rolling Stones to go on hiatus after tour'

WENN.COM

First posted: Thursday, July 04, 2013

The Rolling Stones will go on hiatus after their upcoming gigs in London's Hyde Park so the veteran rockers can enjoy a well-deserved break after months of touring.

The band spent two months on the road in North America before wrapping up the 50 & Counting shows in Washington, D.C. on June 24 and heading back to Britain for a landmark performance at Glastonbury festival.

They will conclude their gigs with two massive shows in London's Hyde Park on July 6 and 13, and frontman Sir Mick Jagger has revealed they will be taking a period of time off after wrapping the final concert.

Speaking to Pete Mitchell of Britain's Absolute Radio station, the official radio partner for Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time Hyde Park, Jagger says, "It'll be fun... (we are looking) forward to doing these two shows in Hyde Park, the last two shows of... this tour so we're gonna make them the best we can... Maybe there'll be things beyond that, but right now this is the summer then we have a bit of a break."

However, Jagger is adamant fans should not give up hope of new music from the band, adding, "I'm always writing new songs so hopefully we'll do new songs one of these days soon."

“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef

three months off is just a bit of a break. Its not uncommon for them to do that in a middle of a lengthy tour.

The days of the Stones doing 80 shows a year or so are gone.

Thankfully.

Doing this way reduces the risk of burnout and lengthy gaps between tours.

That ship has long sailed, as we all know.

in fairness, 58 songs in 20 shows is pretty good going.

It just seems less because 17 songs of the (on average) 20 that Mick sings each night have been played at 90-100% of those shows, Keith sings 2 out of a playlist of three and there's usually only a 3 song window (four at a push) for the remaining 35-40 songs - most of them only played once or twice.

after europe, whatever else they do, the pattern is usually to revisit the USA too… I'm holding out hope they add NYC, ATL, Miami, Denver, Phoenix and romp thru Texas… they can hit St. Louis or some other markets as well, that they haven't bled dry… I'm holding out hope, and hoping Mick reads this and thinks of me specifically…
