Although these show's are planned for August there is talk that they will open Wembley in June, wonder if there will be two mini UK tours at the beginning and end of the European tour. Maybe we will get some additional gigs at the start of the tour, be good to have a few club show's that Joe Public can get into.

where are you getting this info from about these small shows at specific venues?
two mini tours would make sense. They'd want to be the first band to play at Wembley AND it would be nice to end the tour in the UK

Is is no "official" mention of any European tour gigs as yet, obviously there will be a provisional tour schedule planned at this stage and deposits etc paid. I wouldn't expect any offical announcement of European gigs until nearer Christmas.
As for how I know about the UK gigs, I work in the booking industry, can't say to much more than that.

I wonder what will be the full range of UK gigs next year we already known they will almost certainly be the first band to play the new Wembely Stadium, together with the Shepards Bush gig, Maine Road, Manchester Apollo and Hampden Park concerts that we know about, I wonder if they will be playing any UK arena's this tour or will it just be stadiums with the occasional club gig?

Maverick,
Even though I live in London, and so will always get to see them when they come back to England, I'm always disappointed with the number of shows that they play here. The amount of concerts they put on in Britain has been decreasing tour by tour, and although I think this has something to do with decreasing demand from a cynical public, I think that there is still enough demand to play more shows than they do, particularly in arenas.
If you take the last tour as an example, Manchester and Glasgow were the only places outside of London to get any shows, which is ludicrous. I know that Britain is geographically small, and for it's size gets more shows than some other countries, but there are nearly 60 million people here, and I'm quite sure that The Stones could sell out arenas in the midlands, Liverpool, Newcastle, Cardiff - places that they always used to play. It may just be the case that they don't want to be reduced to playing only arenas in their own country. (As for Maine Road - remember that it's been replaced with the City of Manchester stadium. In any case, even though U2 and Oasis have sold it out easily, something tells me that The Stones might not sell quite as well up there, however many tickets they sell in London.)

Personally, I'd love to see them come to the Millennium Stadium. As much as I enjoy travelling the world to see them, it would be nice to take a 20 minute train journey to a gig. They haven't played in Wales since 1990, and before that it was 1965, so I think we're more than due a visit!

I wish they would spread it around as for the midlands it was the birmingham odeon in 73 and i think the next tour was at stafford.
I dont mind traveling as you get the chance to stop at a hotel but it turns out to be a expensive time espiecally in london where the cocktails work out a t £6 a time thou it was the hilton heathrow the plus side is the bar guy forgot to put them on my room tab.
I wouldent mind the millenium stadium as its a good place to go.
the list of venue's are
birminghan odean
stafford
leeds roundhay park
bristol <football ground>
knebworth
earls court
wembley
sheffield don valley
manchester maine road <twice>
manchester news arena
i think thats it

since the last real "UK tour" (1971) theyve played
1973 - Wembley Arena (x4), Bellvue Manchester (x2), Birmingham Odeon (x2), newcastle City Hall (x2), Glasgow Apollo (x2)
1976 - Earls Court (x6), Leicester Granby Hall (x2), Stafford Bingley hall (x2), Glasgow Apollo (x3) plus of course Knebworth 3 months later
1982 - Wembley Stadium (x2), Ashton gate in Bristol, St James Pk Newcastle, Roundhay Park Leeds plus theatre shows in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh as well as the warm up private gig at the 100 Club. They also played Slane castle near Dublin.
1990 - Wembley (x5), Maine Road Manchester (x2), Newcastle, Cardiff Arms Park, Glasgow hampden Park - all stadiums
1995 - Wembley (x3), Sheffield Don Valley Stadium and Brixton Academy
1999 - Wembley (x2), Murrayfield Edinburgh, Sheffield plus Shepherds Bush Empire. A promised "10-12" date of smaller shows in UK cities as a compensation for the postponed 98 tour wasnt kept
2003 - twickenham (x2), Wembley Arena (x3), MEN Arena Manchester, SECC Glasgow (x2) as well as two shows at the Point in Dublin
Major UK cities not played by the Stones in a LONG time :
Hull - 1964
Belfast - 1965
Liverpool - 1971
Leeds - 1971
Belfast and Hull now both have large enough arenas to stage a major show like the Stones.

I think we did surprisingly well last tour, especially with the amount of arena shows!! And the tickets sold very well too considering it was by FAR the most expensive tickets anyone had ever charged for a rock show here.
More shows in the 'provinces' would be more welcome though. The Cockneys get too many of them!

I wonder what will be the full range of UK gigs next year we already known they will almost certainly be the first band to play the new Wembely Stadium, together with the Shepards Bush gig, Maine Road, Manchester Apollo and Hampden Park concerts that we know about, I wonder if they will be playing any UK arena's this tour or will it just be stadiums with the occasional club gig?

Maverick,
Even though I live in London, and so will always get to see them when they come back to England, I'm always disappointed with the number of shows that they play here. The amount of concerts they put on in Britain has been decreasing tour by tour, and although I think this has something to do with decreasing demand from a cynical public, I think that there is still enough demand to play more shows than they do, particularly in arenas.
If you take the last tour as an example, Manchester and Glasgow were the only places outside of London to get any shows, which is ludicrous. I know that Britain is geographically small, and for it's size gets more shows than some other countries, but there are nearly 60 million people here, and I'm quite sure that The Stones could sell out arenas in the midlands, Liverpool, Newcastle, Cardiff - places that they always used to play. It may just be the case that they don't want to be reduced to playing only arenas in their own country. (As for Maine Road - remember that it's been replaced with the City of Manchester stadium. In any case, even though U2 and Oasis have sold it out easily, something tells me that The Stones might not sell quite as well up there, however many tickets they sell in London.)

Personally, I'd love to see them come to the Millennium Stadium. As much as I enjoy travelling the world to see them, it would be nice to take a 20 minute train journey to a gig. They haven't played in Wales since 1990, and before that it was 1965, so I think we're more than due a visit!

Is is no "official" mention of any European tour gigs as yet, obviously there will be a provisional tour schedule planned at this stage and deposits etc paid. I wouldn't expect any offical announcement of European gigs until nearer Christmas.
As for how I know about the UK gigs, I work in the booking industry, can't say to much more than that.

I think we did surprisingly well last tour, especially with the amount of arena shows!! And the tickets sold very well too considering it was by FAR the most expensive tickets anyone had ever charged for a rock show here.
More shows in the 'provinces' would be more welcome though. The Cockneys get too many of them!

So looks like London, Manchester and Glasgow again. No doubt the Shepards Bush and Manchester Apollo tickets will be nigh on impossible to get, with sky high prices on EBay.
Although these show's are planned for August there is talk that they will open Wembley in June, wonder if there will be two mini UK tours at the beginning and end of the European tour. Maybe we will get some additional gigs at the start of the tour, be good to have a few club show's that Joe Public can get into.

oops. Was just checking you were all paying attention.
Another one off the list then - if it means more chances of a Belfast gig I'm happy enough!

where are you getting this info from about these small shows at specific venues?
two mini tours would make sense. They'd want to be the first band to play at Wembley AND it would be nice to end the tour in the UK

So looks like London, Manchester and Glasgow again. No doubt the Shepards Bush and Manchester Apollo tickets will be nigh on impossible to get, with sky high prices on EBay.
Although these show's are planned for August there is talk that they will open Wembley in June, wonder if there will be two mini UK tours at the beginning and end of the European tour. Maybe we will get some additional gigs at the start of the tour, be good to have a few club show's that Joe Public can get into.

oops. Was just checking you were all paying attention.
Another one off the list then - if it means more chances of a Belfast gig I'm happy enough!

where are you getting this info from about these small shows at specific venues?
two mini tours would make sense. They'd want to be the first band to play at Wembley AND it would be nice to end the tour in the UK

Where is this info coming from? You keep saying it and getting me all excited but I have seen no mention of it anywhere else!

Is is no "official" mention of any European tour gigs as yet, obviously there will be a provisional tour schedule planned at this stage and deposits etc paid. I wouldn't expect any offical announcement of European gigs until nearer Christmas.
As for how I know about the UK gigs, I work in the booking industry, can't say to much more than that.
