Reply #2 - Feb 19^th, 2022 at 1:14pm I would expect there to be a few UK shows, similar to 2018. With the ongoing uncertainty over covid from one country to the next, the amount of travelling across borders would probably be kept to a minimum.

Its not a Stones show. Its a multi-day festival spread over three weekends.

'Security' and 'volunteers' are two different things.

There are two dates available that could accommodate a Stones show.

June 25th (see above) and Sunday July 3rd.

They played consecutive weekends there in 2013.

Confirmed line-ups so far :

Most of these "festivals" have a significant volunteer team.
I was a volunteer at the Woodstock 94...I used to live near the site and my friends got me a slot (they still lived up there)...it was fun...answered questions, pointed folks to bathrooms, concessions...set up the first aid and water stations the night before...assisted with parking...and got to see many of the acts.

The funniest part was the number of folk sneaking in the night before to hide and bury their stashes, fearing they would be confiscated at the gates.

Think I'm done with it too. It looks like the Paris show in July will be at the Champs de Mars, an enormous park/field behind the Eiffel Tower. Johnny Hallyday did a free Bastille Day concert there a few years ago in front of over half a million people.

These field shows are so fan un-friendly. Especially for a fanbase thats getting older.

Saying that, I was in the pit (Dublin) and Golden Circle (Twickenham) (both thanks to good fortune in the Lucky Dips) in 2018 and it was all good.

Paying silly money to stand a quarter of a mile away in a field to see a Charlie-less Stones will be a hard sell, personally.

Look at us...we have matured (aka getting old) and have moved from complaining about the set list, to complaining about the venues, LOL

However, AGREED...The Stones have played a few shows over the last few years at some (IMO) horrible venues...examples that come to mind...Some former air field on July 4 2017 (Poland?), The race track in Austin last year, the Indy 500 track, Desert Trips...Some park in Rome, Moncton, NB, CA ( I think that was festival seating) and even the Copacabana...Call me old or whatever, but they just dont sound fun for anyone not within 100ft of the stage setup...at least a football/football stadium has a concept of organization, and the PIT, at least in the US have a few folding seat for those who need or lucky enough to claim hours before the show...

Keep an eye out for those TONGUES!!

BV updates the above link as news hits his ears

I hope its a tour that everyone can enjoy...good venues...no massive GAs / festivals (Hyde Park aside)...and I hope they hit up a few smaller places
that can afford all a great, safe experience...fingers crossed for UK/EU!

Seems that rumour has some legs. Anfield scheduled to host 3 shows this summer and two of them have already been confirmed.

The Stones haven't played Liverpool since March 1971. When they've played the North West, its usually been Manchester (even though the two cities are only about 30 miles apart and a similar size) and going a bit further east, Leeds or Sheffield.
