So we can guess:
Rehearsals in February
Australia in March
South America in April
Europe in May/June
Maybe Hyde park again in July
and maybe North-America in autumn
That would be a great stones year.

Ronnie Wood has revealed that The Roling Stones are planning a world tour for 2014.
According to The Sun, the guitarist revealed that the band will get together in February next year for another run of shows. The band's last gigs were in July this year (2013), when they played two sold-out headline dates at London's Hyde Park. However, a band spokesperson has revealed to NME that there are "no firm plans yet".
"While the big wheel is rolling we are going to capture it before it stops totally," he told the paper. He added that the band were overwhelmed by the reaction to their 50th anniversary gigs, which included their debut performance at Glastonbury festival. "Everybody had a smile on their face, which was brilliant," he said.
Last month (September 4), the band announced plans to release their Hyde Park gig on DVD and Blu-Ray in November. The film, titled 'Sweet Summer Sun – Hyde Park Live', will be released on November 11 and captures the band's full performance, a full two-hour set plus backstage footage. A live album recorded during the shows has already been released.
The tracklisting to 'Sweet Summer Sun – Hyde Park Live' is:
'Start Me Up'
'It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (But I Like It)'
'Street Fighting Man'
'Ruby Tuesday'
'Doom And Gloom'
'Honky Tonk Women'
'You Got The Silver'
'Happy'
'Miss You'
'Midnight Rambler'
'Gimme Shelter'
'Jumpin’ Jack Flash'
'Sympathy For The Devil'
'Brown Sugar'
'You Can’t Always Get What You Want'
'(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction'

bye bye johnny
The Sun tour "story" is rubbish. Hasn't stopped it from tearing across the interwebs, though.
What Ronnie said - to BBC Radio, not The Sun:
"Hopefully we're gonna rehearse again next year...next February." "There's a few offers on the table, but nothing concrete yet."

Funny, 10/16 of these tracks are on At the Max.

Yes, it's the IORR speculation rule.Quote

Theyve never toured on a relentless schedule like that before (well, not since Brian Jones was teaching himself how to play a dulcimer) and theyre certainly not going to do so in their 70s.
Is there some ruling thats been passed that I missed that a new tour has to start and end in the same calendar year?
Maybe he says "hopefully" because he has as much knowledge about this as you or I.Quote

Ronnie didn't confirm anything, if you listen carefully--he said "hopefully" (twice) they'll get together for rehearsals in February, that's all. I mean, I hope they do too, and it does sound as if there will be more shows sometime, but certainly not a done deal.

I guess he has confirmed that he is hoping they will get back together.Quote

Well, exactly--he doesn't know any more than we do at this point.

Of course Ronnie has more knowledge about this than the average IORR-reader. He is in the band! As a source you can't get closer than that unless you are talking to Keith or Sir Michael.
Much of the other 39 page rumour in this thread you can take with a pinch of salt though. Especially tabloid rumours and speculations from posters of sorts.
If Ronnie says that they will, fingers crossed, rehearse in February chances are quite big that they will actually do so!

After watching the BBC sweet summer sun! I get the feeling it's over.
Love em to roll again, but it looked and sounded final to me. If it does end, not a bad way to go. Glastonbury and Hyde park farewells would be hard to top.

I can see why you might feel that.
There does now seem to be a more tangible acknowledgement in the band that it can't last for ever and maybe has to stop at some point.
But that's perhaps exactly why they'll want to carry on while they still can do it, and why we won't have too long to wait for the next chapter.
