5) so yeah, as i said earlier, we've been through this exact same bullshit
in 2022/23. the stones were completely wrapped up in bringing HD to market,
so they distracted the hardcore with a tour misinformation campaign, first for
spring 2023, then for late summer, but we know now for sure that no such
tour was ever planned, because they were busy working on the album release

6) so that's what's happening now. A misinfo campaign for spring tour 2025.
followed SOON by "whoops, sorry, couldnt get it together for the spring,
so it'll be late summer", followed by "sorry, no 2025 tour unfortunately"
followed by, in august, the album announcement and first single.

8) fyi, i HATE The Sphere in vegas. i hate it architecturally, aesthetically,
philosophically, spiritually, every which way. but its the smart move.
two halloween-ish promo gigs there, and one more at MSG NYC.
first hour trippy audio visual retrospective, second hour stones live (about
ten songs,mostly from the HD albums)

and maybe some surprise mini gigs elsewhere

9) The Sphere needs the Stones because they need content and are paying
big for it. And the Stones need a newsworthy venue to promo HD Redux. And, for
those disappointed about no Euro tour, let me point out the obvious:
there are a lot more seats in The Sphere than in the racket club.

As you can see below, the greatest part of Sphere's schedule is filled by
replays of the U2 show. Acts like the eagles and dead & company can
fill seats there for their live shows but not for any replays.

Plus, this need for replayable content will soon be doubled, as a second
Sphere has been announced for Abu Dhabi

He made do with the small stages at Hard Rock Casino in Florida and Waldbühne in Berlin as well (okay he almost climbed up the stage posts there but 😅😅) for a handful of shows he'll survive, all a matter of money offered imo^^

yesterday I was told another rumour and it made me feel affirmed in my prior statement of Bjornulf announcing the city threads somewhat over-eager and too early...apparently one German city might be out and another one in...but could also be that there might be 3 Germany shows, who knows...at least 3 Germany shows would make way more sense to me than 3 Spain shows and I'm not saying this because I'm German (I don't care where the shows are as long as they're in a city that interests me and I can get to without too much trouble, I mean I went to the US last year just to see them 😅) but because there is the highest buying power here, tickets are always most expensive as compared to other countries, plus Germany is easy to reach by train and car from other countries around, as opposed to Spain where you need to fly (but not everyone wants to or likes to take a plane...)

Hahaha seems like a good plan Grin

I was also thinking about working from wherever if it wouldn't work out with holidays otherwise...we're allowed to work up to 90 days per year from other European countries anyway^^

Just for reference I just checked the official Stones IG and in 2022 they started to post teasers 3 days before the official announcement, and in 2023 it was 4 days in advance...both on a Friday...so if this Friday something pops up on social media, we'll know Wink

I think someone on IORR mentioned they heard a rumour that they might announce it the week after the Grammys, so...fingers crossed

Yeah but the Grammys are broadcasted in the US while people in Europe are sleeping, so it wouldn't make that much sense tbh, only if it were a US tour^^

Also I doubt all of the band would turn up for the award. They'd send Ronnie if anyone is to go, and no way would he be the one to break the news.

I'm really so gutted rn and feel like crying because I so was looking forward to seeing all of my international Stones friends again in Amsterdam or London :/

Really hope the guys are alright and it's not a health issue, but from what I've heard it seems to have been logistical issues and I'm honestly not surprised about this...I've doubted the Barcelona dates even happening for what seems like weeks now, also I pointed out multiple times that July 5th for Berlin seems illogical and somehow adding 2 Vienna shows in July where there already are so many other bands using that stadium seemed to be an impossible thing...and in the end it appears to actually just have been impossible to pull it off due to these issues, no matter how hard they tried which really fucking sucks...I'm sure we fans aren't the only ones bummed rn but Mick, Keith and Ronnie probably already were looking forward to it of course...

Here's to hoping that the guys are all fit and well and maybe they can reschedule to autumn like in 2017 🙏🏻

Edit: someone on IORR who always had very accurate infos regarding the Italy shows and seems to have first hand connections to a tour promoter just said the tour is only postponed and not off, let's hope this is also accurate...it would fit in the overall picture at least

The Barca gigs did seem unworkable. We just have to wait and see what happens.

No tour?

At least not in summer...but everything I've heard myself and have read from others should give us some hope that it doesn't seem to be health related and that it might just happen later than originally planned 🙏🏻

The 2017 autumn tour was great, it was when I first saw them in Munich...only downside is they won't be playing in Munich in autumn then cause Bayern needs the Allianz Arena then for football and the Olympic stadium isn't available due to rennovations...but maybe they could just play at the fairgrounds like Helene Fischer and Adele did last year

Overrrated glorified IMAX theatre. I am glad I went, glad I saw U2, glad I got a "cheap" ticket at $268, also my most expensive ever, but the rest of the talent has been underwhelming and hard for a music fan to take a venue seriously when the music is not the attraction. In that case I would prefer to sit in the back of a stadium for $40 and watch the jumbotron.

But if he is slowing down yet doesn't want to appear to, then the Sphere stage is perfect. Most eyes will be on the screen and the amount of distance put on his feet is much reduced. They already have a lot of the graphics in the archive that can be touched up, recycled and scaled up.

This also reduces the natural wear and tear from travel. Now Vegas can be hell on the voice but they would likely do what U2, Rod Stewart, Elton John and a lot of other residency acts do which is just commute from LA. They can just hole up at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills like they do for rehearsals or extended stays in LA.

Lol...tbh...about a week ago when I heard the back and forth about Berlin probably being sacked in favour of Hamburg and then suddenly not after all and all the overall trouble with Barcelona, I was close to coming here and writing that even if I hate to admit it, I might actually kinda agree with Rev – but only going as far that the tour in the form they had planned it and could be seen on IORR probably wasn't gonna happen.

But I didn't, cause of course I kept hoping for the best...and yesterday I heard from someome who's gotta know that they also believed they could make it happen, until they ultimately couldn't. So unlike Rev has been preaching, there 100% were plans being made and it wasn't just Bjornulf's dreams or whatever. The guys really wanna tour and as far as I heard they are currently trying everything to still make it possible 🙏🏻 so I keep on hoping, fingers crossed

Edit: personally I don't think Rev jinxed it, but Bjornulf himself did by creating the city threads BEFORE the tour was officially announced...he never did this and I thought it was weird and a bit presumptuous, considering all the problems we knew excisted with some of the dates and venues...it just had to go wrong like that 🙈

Yeah was thinking the same! Maybe they can finish it up now this spring and release it in August or early September, immediately followed by a European tour starting in mid-September until late October/early November like in 2017...there are enough indoor options, isn't there that new arema in Manchester now as well whose onwers really wanted the Stones to play there? Maybe they could figure out a few dates per city with stadiums/arenas that have a roof, like Manchester, Düsseldorf, Amsterdam and Paris
