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

He warmed up for the WHO in Philly in 2019 it was excellent a powerhouse like mick

Yes. In July. And already sold out!

I can't imagine they won't play some high profile events this fall just to promote the singles...they are both so good...and the buzz around Heaven especially is stellar.

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.

Today on Love You Live Facebook April 24 till July 17 of 2024
https://www.facebook.com/groups/254054158494008?locale=nl_NL

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

I'm hoping there'll be a uk tour soon afterwards.

Some reports of the tour being everything that was supposed to be this year: The ones mentioned above + the cities that were scheduled in 2020 and didn't make the move to 2021: San Diego, Vancouver, Buffalo, Louisville & Cleveland.

Gazza wrote on Nov 13^th, 2023 at 7:26pm:



They played Europe from mid-September til mid-November in 2017, it don't always have to be football stadiums, there are other venues there as well that are suitable...but if the US tour already has 20 stops, another 10-15 stops the same year seems a bit unrealistic, that's the main reason I think they won't play more shows next year but the ones in the US...

Did y'all see the tour page BV posted over on IORR? 2 dates at MetLife Stadium in May, I am SO excited about this!! And hopefully the Foxboro show after that will be in May too, would be freaking perfect for my friend and I who're planning to travel over there in May 

Well, now it's safe that it's happening after that teaser the official Stones account posted and basically all those football stadiums reblogged it, Metlife stadium was among them, and BV is basically always right with his rumoured tour dates...so so exciting!

Announcement on Tuesday if Fb is to be believed.

Tbh they could literally play a mini-residency of 3 shows at a venue like the O2 in London and the same at a similar venue in Paris and make LOADS of European fans very happy with just that, they don't have to travel around 10 European countries and try to find fields to play in lol wonder when they'll understand that this is an option...

But for now, I'm very excited about the US tour...wish we already knew the exact dates for NYC and Foxboro...

Ive always wanted to see them at MSG but I suppose those days are gone now....
The wife has a hankering to go to NY so I have been contemplating a combined trip.
Can anyone advise how easy is it to get to Metlife Stadium from central NY?
Although having said all of that Im not actually sure that I want to see another stadium show....

Orlando....here I come!!...can't wait...

Gazza wrote on Nov 20^th, 2023 at 10:19am:



Yes, the venue itself was incredible! Tho I didn't see that much of its magic from the Pit with my eyes glued to the stage lol but...it was still beautiful...only the organisation at the entry sucked so so much...

A Californian radio station tweeted the other day that they are gonna announce it tomorrow at 5am west coast time (2pm in central Europe)

ronnie-woody wrote on Nov 20^th, 2023 at 4:44pm:



yes thats the time I heard too.

8 am ET in North America.

BV updated the rumoured list with the exact dates for NYC and Foxboro! I really hope there will be a show on the 19th May...it doesn't really make THAT much sense to take a 1 week break after just 5 of 19 shows, does it?

Going by that schedule, subject to demand you can expect a second show in East Rutherford, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Gazza wrote on Nov 21^st, 2023 at 7:16am:

A mini video, tour schedule (already posted) and some notes for presale here: https://x.com/RollingStones/status/1726948597885780054?s=20

yeah those 2nd shows for NYC, LA and Chicago are gonna be added later apparently, people over on IORR say...I wonder why tf they don't just announce everything at once...when I saw that schedule I wanted to cry cause so many off days around the time I wanna go...not flying 8.5h just to attend 2 shows tbh...

Paranoid Android wrote on Nov 21^st, 2023 at 12:25pm:



Did they also do it like that in 2021 when playing yhose 2 LA dates back then? I honestly doubt that there would be a lack of demand in NYC, have seen loads of Americans living on the East Coast saying how convenient this is, they can just drive there by car...so I hope they're gonna add that 2nd date soon

Jazz Fest was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic, even though the Stones went ahead with their own tour

See the notes in this link
https://rocksoff.org/2021.htm

This will be the Stones third attempt to play JazzFest on their last three American Tours

They were supposed to play it in May 2019 but their tour got postponed while Mick had his heart surgery.  So they played the Superdome in July instead

At this moment I think Houston will be my show

I'm super pumped for a show. Bring it on!

Jon Bonjovi?

AXS have a test page up for the shows, with seating charts and price ranges

https://www.axs.com/jp/artists/104878/rolling-stones-tickets?fbclid=IwAR03BQvD8K...

Using Houston as an example, ticket prices seem to be $69 to $499.

However, based on a dry run I just did there a pair of $499 tickets will cost you almost $1,250 after service charges

I presume also they'll have this dynamic pricing nonsense again, though.

I think one or two of those shows you could buy tickets but I think thats a glitch. Similar things have happened before and the tickets were cancelled and the purchase refunded. Best wait until they go on sale properly

Are Lucky Dips still a thing?


Does anyone have experience with handicapped facilities at Stones shows?  I'm gonna need a wheelchair this go-round.

FPM wrote on Nov 23^rd, 2023 at 11:23pm:



Nothing confirmed yet re LD's, but I'd expect that to continue.

If its the same arrangement as before, they'll be available once the public sale opens - but ONLY on the band's official site, not ticketmaster or AXS.

Sorry to read you need wheelchair access, but as far as I'm aware all of these shows have adequate facilities for that. Legally, they'd have to.

Brainbell Jangler wrote on Nov 24^th, 2023 at 6:56pm:



Because they dont have tickets

In theory, you or me could start a site advertising tickets that we dont have yet

The buyer panic buys these 'tickets' at an inflated price, scalper/broker then sources the tickets after they go on sale and distributes them. If they can't - then hopefully they'll cancel the transaction and refund your money

If you're buying these tickets, then you're almost certainly not going to know your seat/row number as they havent been bought yet.

Anybody who pays over the odds for what are already expensive tickets for a show in a stadium needs their head examined.

flights booked to NYC and back from Orlando 2 weeks later now we need those concert ticket, which unfortunately is the most nerve-wrecking part (and most expensive xD)

Roll Me wrote on Nov 26^th, 2023 at 6:43am:


Why you think it's gonna be more expensive than others? I'd expect NYC and LA to be more expensive cause they are in bigger cities but idk how it works in the US regarding prices...in Europe it seems to be about richer countries being more expensive (Germany, Austria, UK, Switzerland) as opposed to e.g. Spain, Italy, France fue to higher buying power...but also Sweden was less expensive (even tho a rich country) cause probably not many people there idk

Guess I'm going to NYC (New Jersey)

So glad they will be touring after all.

see reply #85 above.

If its the same system as before, ONLY on the band's official page when the public sale starts.

BV seems to have info that NJ2 is the 26th, at least he has listed it as the 26th ...don't think there will be a show on the 19th or 20th cause they might have two 1-week breaks, one after Seattle and before the east coast shows which makes a lot of sense, trying to avoid some jetlag maybe, would be rough for those 80yos playing a show on the west coast and 4 days later on the east coast, then the 2nd break after Denver before the 2 Chicago shows

What is there to plan?

the dates are confirmed and they wont be rehearsing for at least another 4 months

Gazza wrote on Nov 28^th, 2023 at 7:29pm:


Why did they have 3-4 day gaps then when playing the same city ever sinxe at least 2017? (Nanterre 2017, London 2018, Chicago+NJ 2019, LA 2021) they are literally 80yos and need breaks... someone with info has been saying for months they're playing Chicago on the 30th June and currently they have announced the 27th, so unless something is happening with venue availability, I'm about 98% sure it's gonna be the 26th for NYC

same goes for them having a break after Seattle and one after Denver, not just cause of jetlag but also because they are literally 80 years old...and maybe also because they want some buffer in case they have to reschedule a show again like Amsterdam last year, it only worked so smoothly cause they had an additional free week there

im seeing some prices and it looks expensive.....yikes

ronnie-woody wrote on Nov 28^th, 2023 at 11:52pm:

Forgive my ignorance, but what do these "VIP Packages" include?

Got Cleveland!  But where the heck is Chicago?  Are they NOT on Ticketmaster?

Yup, AXS is it. Thanks

Platinum is just TM bullshit yo sell you normal tickets for a higher price, no gimmicks included as opposed to Vip...as a European you cannot even buy vip...doesn't let you check out...

Did anyone manage to get normal pit?? There only seemed to be like 3 available, I only saw one person saying so far they got normal pit...some lucky Americans able to buy vip...
