Rev's got a point.

I'd rather get a black and blue deluxe release this year

Whatevs, Rev. Delux or any Stains album would be well super, even with a couple of 'gentler' tracks (Crazy Gran'mama & Everything Is Turning To Golf) thrown in for good measure/balance/humour/groove.
Maybe.
In Stoonz We Truss,

I liked Honk

I'd like to see them in London or Amsterdam

Well, I'll most likely find myself traveling to Italy again if things go well, but I sure wish they'd just come back and play Greece already. Two gigs in 60+ years is just absurd, and it would definitely be a sold-out show.

It was revealed last month that the legendary rock band’s Hackney Diamonds Tour eclipsed Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour in single-night revenue pulling in a staggering £10,345,659 per night.

Get Close will be played.

Idk if y'all have seen the updates Bjornulf made to the rumoured tour plan but there are multiple dates I still find very hard to believe...

First of all the 2 Barcelona shows...if they can't sort out the stadium situation, I doubt that there will be any show in Barcelona at all, seeing how Barca is playing a home match against Real on the 11th May and another one against Villareal on the 18th. So the Stones can't play in the same stadium on 10th and 15th because they need it for football. And atm it's unclear whether Camp Nou will be ready to be played in by then. So I totally have my doubts about those gigs and think there is a high probability they won't happen.

And even if they sort out the stadium situation and Barca can play at Camp Nou, why would the Stones suddenly need 5 days in between shows in the same city? Previously it's been 4 days in between shows in different cities, and 3 days between shows in the same city. That's also why I think Amsterdam on 5th and 9th July isn't correct and rather will be the 6th and 9th. Same goes for London, it probably won't be the 24th and 28th but maybe the 25th and 28th, or maybe the 26th and 29th, or probably also the 27th and 30th, or literally any 2 dates between the 24th and 30th that have 3 days in between, because stadium rent also is expensive and why would they rent a while stadium longer than it needs be? (Just a random side note about this here, I read that renting a major football stadium in Europe costs between 300-500k per day, so why would they waste money like that when they wanna make profit? Renting it 2 more days is almost 1 million lost)

The other issue I have is with the Berlin date. It makes no sense on the 5th July because Munich is on the 12th (the mayor of Munich confirmed it so I think that one is trustworthy). Why would they need a whole week of break there, when there also is a whole week of break after the London show? Plus on the 5th is already a show at Waldbühne by another artist and people pointed out that the city of Berlin doesn't allow 2 shows in that area (Waldbühne and Olympic stadium) on the same day becaus of noise (also the reason the Stones had to finish playing there at 10pm in 2022) and traffic situation. So it won't be on the 5th.

Also yes, the big gaps between shows especially in July. I think Berlin will be on the 4th or 8th and then there will be another show added on the respective other date. Also someone mentioned another Paris show on the 16th, so at least the 19th makes sense for the 2nd Paris show, cause 3 days in between dates in the same city.

That's just my opionon and I think we will see some changes once the tour is officially being announced, but I really was surprised to see Bjornulf create the city threads when he usually only does this after the official announcement, I have no clue why he is so sure about these dates and cities when there are so many open issues...

Last year they also played in NJ, LA and Chicago with 3 days in between and Mick and Keith have places in NYC as far as I've heard so that's not really an argument...

Ronnie having a place in Barcelona also doesn't change the fact that the stadium isn't available, plus people (i.e. other fans, mostly on IORR)  always point out that the Stones don't go where they wanna go most because it's not like planning a holiday trip, but where the concert organisers promise them the most money and I can't really see that either for 3 Spain dates, seeing how there isn't such a high buying power there because people's incomes aren't as high as in e.g. Austria, Switzerland, Germany, UK or Scandinavia

All of this taken together, I still highly doubt there will be 2 Barcelona shows, maybe 1 if they can figure out the stadium problem somehow

An additional thought: the Ernst-Happel stadium in Vienna isn't used for club football, so maybe the 2 Barcelona dates will be exchanged for the 2 Vienna dates that suddenly disappeared again from the rumours list, seeing how in July there are many other concerts in that stadium already, but maybe in May it looks different...
