WIKIPEDIA:
Waiting for Ro-Sto is a play by Irish playwright Samuel Beckett in which two
IORRaqi super fans, Vladimir and Estragon, sit on a park bench and discuss
Ro-Sto's rumoured European tour. The stage repeatedly darkens to mark the
passing of days and weeks.

According to the NY Times, Waiting for Ro-Sto "has achieved a theoretical
impossibility – a play in which nothing happens, but which keeps audiences
glued to their seats".

plus Cardiff and, say, Glasgow.

ESTRAGON: The European leg of the Hackney Diamonds Tour is practically a done
deal, as is practically a done deal the only Italian stop at the Stadio Olimpico
in Rome, scheduled for the last week of May

VLADIMIR: The announcement will be coming in the next few weeks.

ESTRAGON: My reliable source confirms that there will be a european tour in
2025. Contracts are about to be signed very soon. That's all I'm allowed to
share at this point.

VLADIMIR: I'm calling it that the tour will be announced by mid December.

ESTRAGON: The biggest rock band in the world will play two shows in Germany
next year, in Berlin and in Munich.

VLADIMIR: They will be announcing the tour the first week of January.

ESTRAGON: All will be revealed in a few short weeks.

VLADIMIR: Tomorow...

ESTRAGON: Barcelona is in. London is in. Amsterdam is in. Madrid is in.
Paris is in.

VLADIMIR: Madrid is out.

ESTRAGON: I would expect a Swiss show.

VLADIMIR: Barcelona around May 21 thanks to StonesDoug talking about spending
his birthday there next year.

ESTRAGON: Paris on 17th May Stade de France. It might be the opening night

VLADIMIR: According to reliable sources there are plans for a 14-gig-tour
between May and September 2025

official announcement.

VLADIMIR: Helsinki is still in play.

ESTRAGON: Paris is rumoured for July 1st at Hippodrome Langchamp

VLADIMIR: Italian press confirms Rome 29 May

ESTRAGON: OKAY something is going on?? This topic is STICKY again!

hour.

VLADIMIR: The actual date for Rome 20 May

ESTRAGON: My bet is on barcelona for 20/21 may

VLADIMIR: Ullevi is being talked about as a possibility for Sweden

ESTRAGON: An announcement of the tour is expected within the next few weeks.

VLADIMIR: Copenhagen added to the list.

ESTRAGON: BV updated the tour list 5-6 times today.

VLADIMIR: Two shows in Vienna, and one in Bucharest

ESTRAGON: Munich July 12th is solid

VLADIMIR: The latest reports in Spain are saying tour start in Barcelona, with

from August 10-12, but BV writes it for July.

VLADIMIR: Zurich has entered the chat as well.

ESTRAGON: The more of the tour schedule that appears, the less it makes sense...

VLADIMIR: Vienna removed

ESTRAGON: 2nd amsterdam show added

VLADIMIR: Do you mean Barcelona will not happen at all?

ESTRAGON: I have been working for months with research on the Tour 2025.
Then some people just steal all my posted data. I will have the names of
those who posted without shame.

VLADIMIR: The way people act is very disturbing, yet many of us still give and
continue to give. I hope we will continue to see your input and i hope we will
have justice in both our circumstances.

ESTRAGON: Most likely 95% of the audience won't even realize that Paris could
be the last Stones show (and some 35% might even be surprised that they are
still alive)

VLADIMIR: Most Parisians leaving by the 14th of July. Moreover,the financials
would not be at Stones standard. Last gig in Paris was low in terms of both
audience and income.

ESTRAGON: My guess would be a 3rd concert in Germany. Unless Marseille or Lyon.

VLADIMIR: They could still play Vienna before Paris

ESTRAGON: Pretty sure we have the best info

VLADIMIR: Rod Stewart's daughter commented on Instagram that the Faces might
make a Glastonbury reunion, which if accurate would mean Ronnie would require
29 June off.

before Berlin

VLADIMIR: Rolling Stones will return to London for four huge gigs

ESTRAGON: Cardiff , Dublin and Edinburgh might be back in the mix

VLADIMIR: She said her husband worked somewhere and had inside info. According
to her Cardiff and Glascow would also have multiple shows.

ESTRAGON: Reliable sources say there will be 14 shows only; if one show is added,
then another show will have to go.

VLADIMIR: Sat 5 July cannot be correct for Berlin. The city doesn‘t allow
for events at Waldbühne and Olympiastadion at the same time.

ESTRAGON: We'll start getting teasers about 2 weeks before they announce the
tour. Signs on a bus or stadium and such.

VLADIMIR: The Stones posted a picture of Vienna. I believe in Vienna.

ESTRAGON: For Berlin: Reichstag Platz (?) In the 80's, Bowie and M. Jackson
played there
