According to RS.com, there is supposed to be a "big announcement" today.

From the official site:

"24 August 2012 - Be part of our forthcoming announcement

The Rolling Stones and Universal Music are celebrating their 50th anniversary with something exciting coming your way.
Get involved by downloading the free uView app from the iTunes or Android app stores.
A teaser is already live. To see it, download the uView app, and point your device at any of the images tagged with the uView icon.
More teasers will be added over the coming week, so keep checking back."

This means to me we'll have to wait a week more...

QUESTION:

What about people (ME!!) who don't have a smart phone (or whatever one needs to download that app thing)? Do the rest of us miss out on this announcement?

Thanks,

I don't have any smartphone either, I'm only fb friend with someone who owns one.
Anyway, I frankly doubt they would tease like this for a tour. It's an UMG app, it must be for an album, imo

I thought I heard on the radio last week that Radiohead was doing the same thing. There was a teaser with animal eyes that blinked at you. The DJ said people were thinking they were panda eyes and that meant a tour of China. Are we sure this thing with the eyes is just for the Rolling Stones?

But without that app thing.........what to do?

That is kind of what I was (smartass saying) above...

In answer to your question.. we will just have to rely on good people to relay the secret message... you alert to the tweet... they usetheir secret decoder rings (iphon es) to decipher it... and then (hopefully) let us know what the ovaltine secret message was.

OK! Good grief, if the Stones are gonna go 'all young people' on me now it's pretty sad. Jagger, yes.....I can see that. But the WHOLE BAND? Cripes, I've been following this band since 1964; I ain't young (neither are they!); I don't have a smartphone; I can't afford a smartphone; I don't want a smartphone......but I'm still a FAN!!



So........the kind people here REALLY better keep us posted!

Many thanks in advance.

Yep, and if you're on Facebook, keep an eye on that The Rolling Stones - France FB page...

Are you sure you're not mistaken? The Stones fb page began with the that app last week, saying "Keep your eyes peeled".

Thanks for the link to Facebook France! Here's what they're saying:

La rumeur continue de courir sur une possible tournée des Stones en 2013 qui commencerait par la Chine. Ce serait donc le deuxième concert des Stones en Chine, le premier ayant eu lieu le 8 avril 2006 avec comme intro ... Start Me Up ! On s...e souvient notamment de ce pathétique duo avec un rocker chinois du nom de Cui Jian qui s'était - le pauvre - complètement emmêlé les pinceaux dans les paroles de Wil Horses ! La setlist avait été amputée de 5 titres jugés trop subversifs par le régime chinois.




MY question now.........why France? And......I don't even do FB!!

Im not... And now that I have said so many mean things about FB, they told me that I couldnt join now if I wanted to... There would probably be a message about it on my smart phone... if I had one... but I dont...

So... as I said earlier..
Thank you very much for passing on the info

The page owner is a French Stones fan and he helped me for the teaser

Also, from RS.com:

More teasers will be added over the coming week, so keep checking back.



I figure they're waiting for the exhibit at Somerset House to be over on 2nd September before telling us "the announcement".

You have to download it to get the sound to work? That's lame.

Yup... what is next??.... guess a number bewtween 1-100 and if you pick right, then go left.... then take 2 steps back and look up... what do you see? then visit lame.com and search for the magic key which will unlock soemthing specialsoon... but first down load another app... but wait... first buy an iphone... then sign up for facebook... then link them together so we can tell who you aasociate with.... then share your magic key to see the secret code...then tune in next week for more instructions...

You left out 'smear keys in peanut butter'.

Then lather, rinse, repeat

"The Rolling Stones and Universal Music are celebrating their 50th anniversary with something exciting coming your way."

The way this message is worded I'm almost certain the "big announcement" will be nothing more than the CD/DVD package coming out, it doesn't sound like a teaser for a tour announcement at all.

Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind...

From The Rolling Stones FB page:

"A new teaser is now live, download the uView app to your device and hold it against this image.

TURN YOUR VOLUME UP!"

We can hear "Start Me Up" riff!!!
(and maybe some animal growling...)

Many thanks to "The Rolling Stones - France" FB page that told about it

Very simply (and obviously) means, the tigers (the Stones have awaken from their slumber and are about to be set free!

How come MightyRollin50 isn't springing it? Must not have to do with something to dear to his mission, er, heart.

I can hardly take it! The suspense, that is!

They seem to be adressing their marketing towards kids, social media women and cell phone nerds. Are they aware that the large bulk of their fans are old men who hates Facebook and uses their cell phones for phone calls, nothing else?

Must be that they plan on continuing long after we are gone.

Yeah, you are probably right, Mighty! Or is it the fact that they are adressing their PR towards people they want to have as their audience rather than the audience they already have?

Whatever their reasons, you can rest assured it has been carefully thought out and examined from every possible angle. It's all down to marketing. Mick is a genius in more than one way.
