I know i'm jumping the gun wayyyyyyyyyy early
but its friday night and i'm bored (LOL)

What kind of venues at least state side do you see this
band playing??

MSG,Staples Center types or maybe Beacon Theatre or Tower Theatre types?

They would probably play in your backyard for $6.5M.

well i just applied for a Visa goldcard !!!

How about a handful of large clubs, opening for the Winos, before getting to serious business with one last Stones tour?

Who cares.

Y'all remember that rubber legged boy

Let's hope that never happens Mick needs to give up this sill little thing and get back to working with the Stones so we can have a tour next year if the Stones don't do a 50th anniversary tour it will be sad especially if something as dumb as Mick starting a new band is what prevents it Mick please use common sense people what to see you with the Stones not with some new band.

stadium shows !! in the stadium bars.

Rickster..I agree this new group is nonsense what is he getting out of it. Did Keith's comments about him in the new book bring this about? It leans that way. Hopefully it is a side project and a tour goodbye is in the works for next year.

I'm sorry. I meant 65,000 assuming everyone put up $100.

They should do supermarkets. Why not Wal-Marts? Let Wal-Mart sponsor them and play every Wal-Mart int the U.S. They can follow it up in Europe playing at Dressman stores.

now thats more like it !!!!!!!!!

Lets pray they do not. I dont think Mick gives a rats ass about the Stones right now. He needs to get with KR and RW and write Stones material, make a record and do a Farewell Tour. If they try to jam an album and tour together at the last minute,it wont be a good product.

If they'd tour, which I doubt,I'd do once I think. A small club would be nice eg. AB in Brussels, cap about 2000.

I could imagine them at The Southbank, London

They wont tour. Seriously, there's no audience for such a diverse collection of artists. Its a side project for all of them. The CD will probably do reasonably well because there's every indication that it'll be marketed properly - but expecting people to buy tickets in their thousands to watch it being performed? Cant see it.

They might do a one time show like Jagger did with the release of Goddess.

That might be about the extent of it, Shawn. A handful of promotional TV performances.

It is likely that SuperHeavy will tour in 2012, since at this time, none of the SuperHeavy group members has solo tour dates announced for 2012. As previously reported, Jagger has signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) for his solo and film projects. By signing to an agency to book him for live appearances as a solo artist, it appears that Jagger has plans to do live performances without the Rolling Stones in the coming months.

A tour based on the contents of a single project would be difficult. Cannot see it happening.

Cathedrals might be good......I heard the organ at Hereford Cathedral being given a workout the other week, it was one of the loudest, purest musical sounds I've ever heard. It was so loud and yet not one single nerve in my body jangled or jarred. Must be just perfect acoustics. It did make me wonder how a rock type outfit would come across in somewhere like that...................

Hardly surprising as its only June 2011, and none of them with the exception of Jagger has an alternative musical career which would necessitate booking venues far in advance....

All the artists involved have a following. I can see them playing the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. I see them playing larger cities. They could pull off a couple nights in MSG, and could definitely do the O2 in London. Damian Marley and A.R. Rahman are going to pull in a big audience. This could easily be bigger than a Mick Jagger solo tour. I can see them opening Saturday Night Live in the fall. This is new and different, and hopefully A.R. Rahman and Marley will give them an international sound. If you want to look at this in a positive way, it might jazz Mick up when he rejoins Keith, and they'll have some new Stones songs, instead of another round of lukewarm Chuck Berry throwaways.

Jagger has a 'following' when hes playing with the Stones. There isnt much public or media excitement if he's doing a solo record or tour. Stewart might be well respected as a musician and producer, but again, outside of the band he's best known for, he's not a major draw in the commercial sense. Marley & Rahman may be a big splash in their own countries, but less so in the traditional western markets that we're talking about. Is Joss Stone's audience going to flock in their droves to see her have a minor role in a band like this? I doubt it.

Its an interesting 'fusion' of talents (and I actually think it might turn out pretty good) but if Stones boards are any indication, the demand for any of these acts working with other artists from outside their 'genre' is somewhat limited commercially. Concert audiences pay to hear these acts making music that they're familiar with - not to hear a project of new songs with other people that they care or know little about. Jagger has enough trouble as it is convincing his own audience to hear new STONES songs, for goodness sake. Its pretty optimistic to think something like this - where each act doesnt even have a common 'audience' with any of the others - is going to be filling 20,000 seater arenas anywhere, let alone multiple nights.

And, publishing in September, they have already lost the “summer train”.
Summer rock festivals could have been a very good showcase to publicize their music; some festivals are very heterogeneous (for example in Portugal there will be a festival with Coldplay, Iggy and the Stooges, Chemical Brothers, etc.) and attract diverse audiences, people gather for the booze and the outdoor party atmosphere, beside the music. Supposing that Super Heavy has some quality, it could have raised some waves. Unless they come out with some monster hit that overcomes the dispersive factor of diverging audiences, next year they will be history.
