Tour in 2024
Sep 17^th, 2023 at 11:20am

Seeing the people over on IORR fighting over whether there even will be a tour or whether it would be "fair" of the guys to play in more remote locations, I was wondering why we don't have a thread to discuss about the next tour yet (in case we already do please point me to it I didn't see it lol)

Anyway, after hearing and reading the interviews with the guys this past week, there is no doubt for me that they definitely want to tour and are literally planning a tour as we're speaking. I heard from someone in the know that North America next year is on, just as Ronnie said to one of the interviewers after the album presentation.

Ronnie also mentioned they wanna do England, so I'm guessing (I didn't hear any confirmation about this yet) that they're probably still planning this...

Those maniacs at IORR will argue about anything, even things that they have zero control over and/or any non-issue.
They all know better than anyone as to markets to play in, reasons they do/don't play in certain markets, etc...
things that are all decided by folks that actually are in the know and whose job it is to make these types of decisions...

God forgive you say something that goes against the flow in those chats over there...

As far as I can tell, the Stones NA tours seem to sorta hop scotch from major A markets, to B markets and back again...of course that isnt written in blood anywhere and folks at IORR well,
they seem to ignore that part of it...Jagger, IMO, also has a penchant to do "firsts"...first to play in new venues...first to play in a market...all to add another notch to the logs of RS history and such

This board doesn't really get into these wish lists until at least we "know" there's an upcoming announcement...and then...our peeps in the know will offer insights

I find these types of discussions get boring FAST if we have no actual strong confirmation of a tour (as opposed to a blip or mere mention from an interview).

North America was the planned tour for 2023 so it'll probably be where they play next year. Ronnie confirmed thats the agenda.

They dont 'tour England'. Unless they suddenly start playing arenas, thats not even a proper market. 2022 was UK and a few extra shows on the continent to fill it out. The only reason why a high proportion of those shows were in the UK was because they toured Europe in Sep/Oct 2017 and were unable to fit any UK dates into the schedule due to unavailability of stadiums (plus, probably, our shite weather!)

If they tour in this continent at all, it'll be a European tour.

Maybe with a new release out, they'll tour more than one market in 2024 but people talking about world tours a la Licks, Bigger Bang, etc are kidding themselves. That era ended in 2007. They're too old and they only play two shows a week.

I dont think a 'residency' like what U2 are doing next month at the Sphere in Las Vegas is out of the question. Theres scheduled to be a similar venue opening in London in the near future (it was meant to be completed late this year but plans were put on hold)

https://www.building.co.uk/news/gove-steps-in-and-puts-controversial-sphere-musi...

Still think the amount of days off between shows might be an issue for those sort of residencies though. U2 are playing 17 shows there in the first five weeks after it opens (they come back a month later to play seven more shows in a 16-day period)

It would take the Stones almost twice as long to play that number of gigs.

It was likely pushed back due to Taylor and Beyoncé taking up all major stadiums this summer for 2-3 nights (on weekends) in each market...at least that's what I read in more than one publication...
(HEY IORR...thats common sense there!!!)

Add what Gazza stated above with the Stones typical scheduling trends we've seen since 2013...all makes sense to me.

Hoping for the best for the band and fans who still want to see them.

I agree that touring only England in regards to European countries doesn't make any sense, however, concerning the new London Sphere venue, there was a tweet a while ago saying the Stones were supposed to open the venue but now it's not fully ready yet...so my best guess concerning this matter would be that maybe by playing England Ronnie might have referred to playing a few days at that Sphere thingy once it's been finished...

Also who says they HAVE to play 15 or 20 shows during a residency? Maybe their London Sphere gigs will be a "mini-reaidency" 3 shows in one week or 5 shows in 2 weeks, that's entirely doable for them...

Plus, I'd like to argue, in terms of residencies, if they start doing that, then maybe they'd be able to play a show every 3 days instead of just every 4 days, considering that there wouldn't be any travelling required and they'd just stay in one place for 2-3 weeks or so, I guess what's most dtraining at their age is travelling around all the time and it's probably more exhausting in the US (as compared to Europe) due to many different time-zones and further distances...so it wouldn't surprise me (and would also be highly appreciated on my part) if they did some kind of mini-residency in NYC, maybe playing 3 shows there within a week, reducing the amount of travelling...and they could fo this in other big cities like LA or so as well, stay for a week, play 3 shows there...but it's just a thought and we'll only know what exactly they are planning once they are announcing it, of course

What do you mean by "high profile events" e.g.? I'm still not entirely giving up the hope that they'll randomly announce 2 shows each in NYC and London as a promotion sometime in November...would be incredible (my manager is already sending me emails to remind me that I still have 7.5 unused holidays this year LOL but I really really hope I can use them in case they're doing something in London xD if not, I'll just take some more days off before Christmas xD)

Lots of rehearsal time needed to play full length shows. Hard to imagine that happening.

I presume Roll Me means a TV appearance or two.

It would be a bit anticlimactic with all the hype of the last month and the next few weeks if they ended up making absolutely no public appearances until next spring.

SNL usually resumes about now doesnt it? I assume thats been delayed due to the writers' strike.

Maybe those rehearsals are happening right about now...in this new video Mick posted yesterday with his harps, he looked like he was in some studio. Also in one of those new interviews with Keith he said he was going to London, so maybe they're all in London again rn, rehearsing for something, whether it be a TV show or something else, who knows^^

I went through my calendar, marking every 4th day between those dates as a show, leaving a bit over a week off in between and that time frame would mean 20 shows...is this realistic? If the tour starts in late April, I'd think it would end at the end of June, that would be 15-16 dates...at least I thought someone on IORR said the other week that the last show would be on June 30th, but well...it's all just rumours so far...I'd highly apprecciate some dates in May tho, seeing that there are many public holidays there in Germany and I could save me some days off like that when applying for holidays Grin
