Barring illness or unforeseen disasters - absolutely.
yes, he's prone to exaggerating but its hard to exaggerate a statement which specifically states 'we've booked shows'...its not exactly 'we're going to book shows' or 'we'll book some shows'..Its a definitive statement which doesnt leave any room for exaggeration. So its either the truth or a 100% lie - and he's going to look incredibly stupid if he's gone to the press and gave them an 'exclusive' about something thats utter fiction.

I hear ya Gazza,its just seems really strange that after all these years the announcement would come in way of a Keith interview,rather than the big hoopla that we are accustomed to by The Stones when announcing a tour,or some shows,l still believe that indeed they will play some shows,but not this year,anyway we will see what happens..

If we look carefully the original interview - or the article - we can see that it has the promotion function for GRRR! Keith is 'just' slipping a bit too much - I guess intentionally - to make a bit buzz. I wouldn't be surprised that the official gig or even tour announcement will be done also to maximise the publiticy for their two big products of this year (GRRR! and CROSSFIRE HURRICANE).
Anyway, I just watched for the first time ever the BIGGER BANG tour document that is in youtube now (I guess originally released in THE BIGGEST BANG DVD). Much to my surprise I really liked it very much, and got almost sentimental while looking the scenes... But that really put me thinking as well that taking how high they fly there - the premises are just incredible; travelling the world, Super Bowl, Rio, China, etc. - it must be rather hard for them to really make it less profilic, with smaller venues, less gigs, just a few locations, etc. not even thinking 'just playing the blues' as some of us have wet dreams of. They all seem to love so much of all that attention, hugeness and I guess the life style involved in it. And I guess the money ain't bad either... I wonder could they really motivate themselves to actually do it 'smaller', since they have accused to that kind spectacularity in touring.
So I wouldn't be surprised if the tour will be efficiently bigger than some gigs that is speculated now. Can't seem them them having a smaller gear in their engine. No hell they would rehearse a month just for a few gigs.

lame attempt at trying to be funny à la theonion.
Ok BV,you obviously know much more than us mere mortals,but you making it sound like The Stones have nothing to do with the business end of their activities,it was my understanding that at least Mick,was involved in the business part very much..Quote

The Rolling Stones i.e. Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie have booked a month or so in their calendars this year for recordings, rehearsals and a few shows. Then it is up to the business people to sort out dates and shows. It is a misunderstanding that they know these details. They do know that recordings come first, all done now in the chateau. Then rehearsals are next. They would not bother much about the dates at the O2, because they do not drive the car or book the hotels. In fact they don't even check in, they just walk by the reception while their luggage is taken to their suites. But there will be London shows, due to be announced pretty soon.

Not exactly. The possible dates are first given by the RS, then sorted out and discussed with the RS (and everybody here has a fantasy about who the RS are or is...I'll save that for antoher time). It's a misunderstanding that they don't know anything about these details. And in this case the rehearsals came first...for more than one reason. And literally it came first; after that they recorded and rehearsed again as they are doing now.
