Stones Tour 2013

I wonder if the forth coming tour will be a fair sized one. Do you think they should play some small cities or big? I'd like to see both.

I am betting 2-3 night arena shows in big cities like LA, Hong Kong, Rio, Chicago, Paris, etc.. then back to NYLON

I think Keith wants to visit Fordyce, Arkansas again.

No Coachella.

Contrary to strong hints and rumors, the Rolling Stones will not perform at the 2013 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, a source close to the band tells Rolling Stone.

The evidence was overwhelming: the Indio, California festival appeared on the band's own official app in December under their tour dates section, and festival organizers later used their official Facebook page to post a photo of a stone rolling on the Empire Polo Grounds, where Coachella is held.

Rare and Intimate Pictures of the Rolling Stones

But expect to still see the band on the road in 2013. "There have been quite a few offers," Mick Jagger told us recently after wrapping the bands recent 50th anniversary shows in London, New York and New Jersey. "I'm going to see what's on the table and discuss it with everyone. We'll announce it when we've figured it out." Added Keith Richards, "Really, all you're going to have to do is wait for an announcement . . . We barely got off the starting blocks. It would be dopey to bring things up to this level and say, 'Well, that's that, 50 years, bye-bye.'"

This U.S. navigation is my prediction as North America will kick off the tour ( not counting the NY & NJ shows. This is just the "first leg." No clue of date possibilities- just a guess as I think SF and Ravens will cover the spread!



Boston
Philly
DC
Charlotte or Greensboro
Atlanta
Tampa
Sunrise (Ft Laud)
New Orleans
Dallas
St Louis
Chicago
Phoenix
L.A.
Seattle (maybe)

Off to Europe
S.America
Australia
Two or three Asian shows

A few more US shows

If stamina holds true-

What will happen - tour? (that we know, just a matter of when and where they will announce it.)
Arena?
Stadium?
Club?
Big cities?
Small cities?
Tell us and more or less when - this spring or summer??

My hunch is they will do the following:

slowly announce 5-6 shows at a time:

LA, San Fran, Vegas

Do those shows at $500-800 a ticket and then announce an east coast tour:

NY, Boston, Philadelphia

Do those shows at $500-800 a ticket and then announce a midwest tour:

Toronto, Chicago, Denver


Do those shows at $5-800 a ticket and then announce a European tour:

London, Paris, Frankfurt

You get the drift, each will be billed as the possible last time in order to drain our wallets at high price tickets!

Big Stadiums that will allow the most to attend once in their life a concert by the Greatest Rock Band ever. Arenas are for the few.

They've been playing stadiums for the past 25 years...at this point, the universe of those who are still waiting to see them "once in their life" is pretty small. Arenas will do.

NYC (MSG)

if it happens, I'm thinking along the same lines as GeorgeV and JahPaul

small arenas, relatively few shows, a lot more Taylor, and big big prices

its the only card they have left to play i think.

it needs a concept though. a bit more musically serious i think. a few more
deep cuts. more like a recital.

plus release an album with again a couple new songs, and some wonderful unreleased
tracks including some killer live versions of some of the warhorses

we just had Grrr for JagGrrr. this one could be HARD, for RicHARDs

there's an old guy down the hall who has missed the last 32 tours because of an assortment of reasons. they need to give him one more chance....

They are up for bids. Very simple. Show us the money. Where, when, crowd, concept and so on. I see the requests. This looks interesting. We just need some patience. Luckily it seems I have the spring for cross country skiing and private stuff, but the rest of the year is all booked for the Stones.

I just wish they would hurry up and annouce a tour, so I can plan my holidays around a concert somewhere in the US, before the company I work for forces me to put in dates for my holidays...

Yeah I see a few (5 or 6) stadium shows in Europe in their future this summer. They need a challenge and proving they can still fill stadiums at 70 and also try to beat their O2 bonanza ($17 million, probably the world record) will do just that.

A few arena shows in the US in the winter, SF/LA/Florida probably wouldn't hurt either, and shows in Japan in the Spring either.

If the Stones tour I would like to see them again. But not more than one or two shows. The Stones are good, my favorite band, but we are not talking progressive jazz here. And they or not like Bob Dylan that remake all his songs for every night. The Stones have never been a band good on jaming like Grateful Dead. But to see them once or twice is OK for me.

If they have limited dates, I still quite like the idea of mini-residencies, a few shows in one geographical
area.

Btw, George, if they play Ohio, a big if, as you say, but hope so, most likely they will go to Columbus, rather than Cleveland, as they've done more recently.

1) true.

2) there are only three possible bidders. Cohl/Live Nation (they've settled
their legal issues), AEG, and Dainty/Branson.

3) various news stories have indicated what the Stones were being offered in
2012 by one or more of the above parties was about $100 million for 50 arena
shows. Stadiums were not under consideration. $2 million a show. But Mick said
no. Was it the money or was it Keith's un-readiness or some other reason?

4) So Mick Dainty and Branson came up with the NY/London scheme for $5.5 million
a show later in the year (Actually the intention was $7 million a show for
4 shows, but when the VIP tix didn't move as well as hoped, the fifth show was
added, as per prior contingency agreement, in order for there to be an adequate
gross to cover the guarantee. The Stones got nothing extra for the fifth show.)

5) this is of course all approximation. but perhaps it does provide some
guidance when speculating just how much Mick wants to do in 2013, in what kind
of venue, and how much he needs in return.

ELEPHANT TRUMPS GORILLA

here's the real elephant in the room, stones fans

KR: "Once the juggernaut starts rolling, it ain't gonna stop. An extra gig
here, a place we never played there, things go on."

Well, sorry, it did not go on, it did stop.

Of all the "many" offers supposedly under consideration, either extending
50 and Counting into the new year was not one of them, or was turned down for
some reason.

That's BIG. The staging is there, the band is rehearsed, all those costs have
been absorbed, so ticket prices could have come down a notch or two, and yet...
NOTHING. All they would have needed to do is send Taylor to the tailor for some
stage clothes, and they could have been playing around the world at this very
moment.

So it is not unreasonable to assume there was a perception on the part of
the promoters of insufficient demand (to meet the Stones cash-on-the-barrelhead
requirements). Why else would the Stones not be playing right now?

Right now is when Mick, and many of y'all, have claimed that everybody in
the band is "at the top of their game", with the Stones and their fans
raring to go. The juggernaut completely fueled up. Yet once again bogged
down in the sands of time.

Tell me, what is going to be so different in eight months, except needing a new
stage, new rehearsals, and new hype to soak the same old fans, flying in from
around the world, with the same old show? Tarted up just enough to get by.

How about Dainty/Branson, AEG, and Live/Nation in that order instead? Dainty/Branson are likely to have gotten some leg up going into future shows because of their 50th Anniversary deal. AEG next because of #3 below and then, LiveNation last not that order makes any difference in the final analysis.

3) various news stories have indicated what the Stones were being offered in
2012 by one or more of the above parties was about $100 million for 50 arena
shows. Stadiums were not under consideration. $2 million a show. But Mick said
no. Was it the money or was it Keith's un-readiness or some other reason?

Mick alone said no,... think Keith is still abstaining from participating in decision making after his, Life?

4) So Mick Dainty and Branson came up with the NY/London scheme for $5.5 million
a show later in the year (Actually the intention was $7 million a show for
4 shows, but when the VIP tix didn't move as well as hoped, the fifth show was
added, as per prior contingency agreement, in order for there to be an adequate
gross to cover the guarantee. The Stones got nothing extra for the fifth show.)

Not doubting you, but where can I read more about the VIP tix not moving as well as hoped? Exactly what in meant by the VIP tix? — a la carte? or in tour packages?

5) this is of course all approximation. but perhaps it does provide some
guidance when speculating just how much Mick wants to do in 2013, in what kind
of venue, and how much he needs in return.

So, then after all Keith's puffing in his book, he isn't giving up his old ways in not participating the decision making part of the work? He was only kidding,..?
