Landgraaf (Megaland) would be great. I live about 20km from de festivalsite. Saw them earlier there in 1995 en 1999. But I doubt of this rumour will be confirmed. Almost every year there are rumours just to speed up the ticketsell. On the other hand, if bv makes notice of this .....???

We are getting closer to tour start. Today it is 60 days until the first official Rolling Stones 2014 show in Abu Dhabi.
I have been working on the travel schedule for the Far East and Down Under tour. It will be something like 38,000 miles of flights as it seems. The most challenging part is leaving Auckland April 6, with two days and nights of travel back home. Trying to find a nice place to rest for a day between Auckland, LAX/SFO and Europe. Rarotonga and Honoluly are both on the route, at no extra cost, but I would probably the only person who do a stop-over of less than 24 hours on these remote places. Also, I am looking for a stopover between Dubai and Tokyo. Recommendations are welcome.
Still I am working on an open plan of something, everything or nothing, but it is hard to ignore these shows, even if I will be away from home for two months. The upside is all the great shows they will do, the downside is missing family aned friends badly. Good news I am below budget on accomodation some places, Japan is doing great, same with Abu Dhabi, Australia is complicated. May be I can do one more of the seven summits, Kosciuszko at 2228 m.a.s.l. is a joke really but I need to do it hiking not driving, part of the Melbourne travel coming from Sydney I suppose.
While most other people in Norway are spending time on Christmas planning and shopping now, my mind is on "14 on Fire", tourist VISA immigration applications, stopovers and how to save money by stopping all "home activities" for some time. The airliners are putting deadlines on my reservations now so most of the plans should be settled within a week or so.
I ask myself this every day: "Should I go?" My brain says NO but my heart says YES!

As for your itinerary, there is another option, if available, the one you mention before: to stop your itinereary in Auckland, flight back home with whatever extra miles you may have, and restart your journey with your world tour ticket from the Americas.

Don't forget two shows to be announced, unless you already know and aren't telling?

Like you say, if they spread the rumours every year it might be just another rumour, only difference this year they might get the Stones if their bid is right - the Stones will in fact do Europe this summer.

I did travel from the Netherlands to London in dec. 2012 and july 2013 and had a great time but will not go to Landgraaf again in 2014 if it happens. Was there in 1995 (Voodoo Lounge show including Love is Strong and Love in Vain!!!) and 1999 (a bummer of a show). Will watch on TV just like Glastonbury.

If there will be another secret club gig, you can usually get very close to them [...]

What is the status of the Shanghai and Singapore shows? Do you think these cities are probable or have they given up on adding more?
