From an interview with Fritz Rau, legendary ex tour-promoter from Germany:

Aber ich freue mich darauf, bald die Rolling Stones wiederzusehen. Denn endlich, endlich erfüllen sie einen meiner größten Wünsche: Sie spielen nicht in einem großen Stadion, sondern zwei oder drei Konzerte in der Festhalle - und verdienen dabei mindestens genauso viel.

Translation:
I'm happy to see the Stones again and this time they fulfill one of my greatest wishes: They are not playing in a big stadium but 2 or 3 concerts in the Frankfuter Festhalle (15.000 seats) - and earn at least the same.

HEY folks around the world: the statement from fritz rau is in my opinion the first very very serious clue to a new tour. the man is/was a promoter for decades and is very reliable ...

Yes!!! So I can assume the tour will start in Europe this year?

about that 20.000 arena in Mönchengladbach - the article linked above says that the promoter made an offer to the Stones, after he heard that Keith Richards said he was itchy to play again. So the Stones didn't do anything yet.

The interview with Rau sounds more serious, link here by the way:

"Die ganz großen Arenen bekommen die Rock-Opas wohl nicht mehr gefüllt.
Ihren Auftritt am 13. August 2007 in Düsseldorf sahen 30000 in der nicht
ausverkauften Esprit Arena. Damit die Lücken im Publikum kaschiert wurden,
stand die Bühne statt an der Front- an der Längsseite."

That whole thing is wishful thinking.

Yeah, I agree... I believe Rau also just picked up some quote from Keith that they'd like to play smaller venues...

You may be right Lorenz, but Rau named a location, so he may have some trustful information. He still has his contacts to the promotion-scene.
Let's all keep your fingers crossed!

Fritz is out of business for many years, so I don't think that he isn't really well informed in these days.

Sounds nice, but I hope the article will not avoid that show to take place. Similar things are known from the past (e.g. Dresden 1995 & Erfurt 2007 were heavily rumoured but did not happen then).

If they play Europe in 2011, then the world tour start will be here. Don't forget that they have a big rival in USA this year - U2 which attract a similar audience; in Europe there are only some Bon Jovi open airs. And if they start in Europe this year then Germany as the biggest market has good chances. I think something like 40 % of the Stones European legs have started in Germany, some nearby (Vienna, Werchter).

For some years we have here on the start site the Tour Remours
So, we can start with it, because

a) the Infos from Fritz Rau

b) the Infos from the Boss from The Hockey Park (they make a offer to the Stones, If the stones don't tour he can not make a offer

c) Keith say we are ready

So The Remours for 2011

Frankfurt - Festfalle -- June - August
Mönchengladbach - Hockey Park -- June - August (If a big Ticket Run they can play in the Football Stadium "Borussia Park" its a very Good Option smiling smiley
