Not sure what I think about these " festival" dates...last year was more of a "hometown" thing to me..."finally" playing the whatever festival it was...but this seems a bit wierd...maybe because they are festivals and there are numerous points of logistics involved and the bottom line ticket sales as well...that they had to be confirmed and announced...I don't know...

I think they could pull off another 14 On Fire and hit some spots in Europa with no problem...let the band take it easy...skate on thru the continent...hit NA
once again...a small fan fair in the UK and end it off with a secret gig at a new "Marquee Club"...I know I am dreaming...but that would be such a great and fitting end to such a great band...i know the end is near...if i am wrong...I will be happy to be wrong...i just want it to end not with a death...not with a break-up...not with a fizzle...but with dignaty

Hell, the price is worth it just for Flogging Molly. Great band.

Ouch!

the festival organisers have to work to their own agenda and so this is probably why some shows get confirmed before the 'regular' tour shows the Stones are doing. The tour will be a mixture of festivals, large stadium shows and arenas.

By doing it that way, the Stones will probably be able to do the entire tour using just one stadium stage and one arena stage (they wont be using their own stage for festivals). Gone are the days when they'd have about three stadium stages which 'hop' over each other across a continent, taking about five or six days to assemble and another two or three to be taken down and transported to the next show where it was needed.

So, in other words, when you also factor in things like no opening acts at their own gigs, they're doing this tour on the cheap. A fact that is of course reflected in the ticket pricing. Ouch!

Voodoo's previous insistence that the Stones will play South America later in 2014 seems to be spot on as the promoter for their previous tours down there is saying that there will be a tour there in October or November.

Shows being lined up for Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia and Peru.

Do we know the actual capacity of that? IORR mentions 100.000 but I remember reading somewhere that Genesis played there in front of 500.000 people.

Its basically whatever size they or the authorities want it to be. Like Hyde Park. Was the Genesis show a free gig? I cant imagine any show in Italy attracting half a million paying customers.

Tickets go on sale next Friday, March 21. John Mayer is listed as support act on the ticketone site :
http://www.ticketone.it/biglietti-the-rolling-stones.html?affiliate=ITT&doc=arti...

More info here :
http://www.dalessandroegalli.com/events/300/the-rolling-stones

Tickets are a not unreasonable €78. There's an AMEX presale on March 19th.

Splitting the difference, at 78 Euro, that's 23+ million clams...that's a lot of gelato!!

First show of the Euro tour is rumoured to be in Oslo at the Telenor Arena on May 26th.

Last show will probably be at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark on the first weekend in July. Tickets for this event have already gone on sale, even though the Stones' participation hasn't been confirmed officially. It runs from June 29 - July 6.
http://roskilde-festival.dk/about_roskilde/

'Rock in Rio' in Lisbon also seems another likely festival appearance.
http://rockinriolisboa.sapo.pt/en/curiosidades/

A few acts have already been announced, and whilst the talk is that the Stones will play on the last weekend in May, its intriguing that the only date which doesnt have any artists listed on the bill so far is the opening night of May 23rd, so its quite possible they may play there before Oslo.

Dont forget that John Mayer will be getting about €5 million for his support slot. The dude is in bad need of new clothes.

Somewhere i think it says The Stones are touring in the Fatherland...not sure...wonder if she knows?
