I hate how that article uses the IORR info from the tour page without giving BV / IORR credit. I just left a comment for the article ( awaiting approval)...everyone should hit them up on principle alone.

Thanks for pointing that out. When I saw the link, it didnt provide an English translation (my Spanish is very limited). Yes, pretty shitty to just lift what was probably hard-sourced info and not credit it.

Looking at it again, bloody hell, they even copied and pasted the whole 'rumoured dates' part of the IORR page.

Not a popular choice with many of the Dutchies in recent tours, from what I recall.

I think the stadiums in Amsterdam and Rotterdam tend to be used by different promoters and its usually a business arrangement that sees the Stones favour Amsterdam - a stadium that has a reputation for questionable acoustics (it has a roof) as opposed to De Kuip in Rotterdam (saw the last two Voodoo Lounge shows there in 1995 - a fabulous experience all round aside from the fact that it seems that everyone in Holland is a foot taller than me. Even the women)

Announcement should be coming next week! I'm excited even though I'm not sure which venues are going to be easiest to navigate and affordable. The exchange rate has always gone against me in Europe. I don't expect this Russian war is going to help matters, the stock market is dropping because of it. Or it's getting the blame.

Not to be a Debbie-Downer (this time)...but with all this activity in Ukraine with this Nuke power plant ...I see conflicting reports regarding of leaking rads...I can see a delay of any announcement.

I recall the spring / summer of 86 when I was doing my Euro sojourn and many concerts were cancelled in the northern half of Europe as Chernobyl's effects / clouds fell upon the area. I flew in/out of London / Brussels, but mainly stayed below/south of Paris...and I sure as hell did not go out in the rain. Scary times then...and now.

Fingers crossed...for everyone's sake.

No further political talk here please...just worried about the tour and its announcement

Thats the 7th or 8th show (depending if they play Hyde Park both weekends)...using the 14 show model they have perfected...halfway there...

Sometimes, its been a little more than 14 - although in Europe the figure of 14 is pretty constant!

2013 US Tour - 18 (plus a club show)
2014 Asia/Australia - 15
(1 additional show in Australia was cancelled and the two parts of the tour ended up being 8 months apart after L'Wren Scott's death)
2014 Europe - 14
2015 North America - 15 (plus 2 club/private shows)
2016 Latin America - 14
2017 Europe - 14
2018 Europe - 14
2019 North America - 17
2021 US - 14 (plus a private show)

I'd expect the remaining shows to include at least 1 show in Scandinavia, an extra 1-2 in Germany, another French show (surely they wont omit Paris), 1-2 more UK dates and maybe Italy?

Think it's safe to say that Russia and Ukraine will be off the menu

Interesting...I had read on IORR once, maybe twice with a repost, that it would be THIS Monday, Mar 9...not much traction after that...perhaps they confused Mondays...perhaps a delay due to concerns over the current events...

We'll see. Steve's a superb musician and did really well on the recent shows, but ...I don't know.

There's rumours of an Albert Hall show at some point - I've no idea if thats merely someone pushing something they've long dreamed about or whether it has any validity - but if something like that happened, I'd be more enthusiastic.

I remember in 2014 the shows were all at enormous stadiums and fields and I had no interest in going but when I saw they were playing the Waldbuhne in Berlin (a 20,000 capacity ampitheatre) I was all over it. Was really glad I went. A venue like that would be wonderful.

San Siro is due to be demolished soon and replaced by a new stadium right beside it. Dont know if theres a definite timeline for this, but it could be one of the last chances to see a concert in it.

Saw Springsteen there in 2008. As far as stadium gigs go, its a pretty special place to experience a concert. Italian audiences are great.

A rumoured venue for Paris is Hippodrome de Longchamps, which is a racecourse. Saw them there both nights on the Voodoo Lounge Tour - about 85,000 each show. With Bon Jovi supporting. Grin

There is definitely a different atmosphere and air to the Stones European gigs. I believe they played the San Siro at least twice before in 03 and 06. In 03, the Cranberries opened, and in 06, Italy had won the World Cup and Del Piero and Materazzi joined them on stage for a celebration with the crowd. The Italian shows are always special. I forgot which tour it was when Mick did Con Le Mie Lacrime.

FromWIKI:

On 24 June 2019, AC Milan and Internazionale announced their intention to build a new stadium to replace San Siro. The new 60,000 capacity stadium, which would be constructed next to San Siro, is anticipated to cost US$800 million and would be ready for the 2022–23 season. The design of the new stadium is said to be based upon the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.

Guns-n-Roses is also playing there July 10, 2022
