Thanks, TE!

The Stones in Granåsen... Would have been something

Would have been great DP, yes, kind of sad for a great place.
Another well know thing mentioned in the article is that they want to explore new places.

Finally some interesting news in a Norwegian paper.
Trondheim have tried to get them several times.
They had to give them up since they didn't get the sponsors.
The dates they worked on was July 3rd or 6th.
25 places in the bidding for 15 shows.
No time to write it all now, but that was the important stuff.
Have fun with Google translate...

I´m really looking forward to the possible gig list from BV - I don´t want to urge you, BV, but it would be nice if you could make such a list in a few days ;-)

+1 We need the list BV

c'mon c'mon c'mon BV please

The 2006 Bergen show was memorable. And WET.

During the negotiations considering the European leg of the 2014 tour, the Norwegian town of Drontheim lost it`s opportunity to get one of the 15 planned concerts, because nobody was willing to take the economical risk. The Stones wanted 5 million dollars. 25 European cities were interested in getting The Stones. The band really wanted to play where they never had been before. The managing firm "Sensible Events" has said that "Drontheim looks great", and they promised to recommend it for the band.

Would you mind to mention the source, unless you are the source yourself? It looks like this is coming from a newspaper?

Here is the story in the appropriate thread (a little info + link to an article in norwegian only):

PS: And it's Trondheim, not "Drontheim"

What it basically is saying re possible show in Trondheim (Norway's 3rd largest city approx 500 km direct north of Oslo) is that they asked for a bank guarantee to pre-pay for the fun but it was not possible to supply that with the given deadlines.

I do see the rumours and I will prepare a list soon, as soon as the band is leaving Paris.

Is that now? :-)

Regarding the Stade de France supposed "mid-june" date (which was mentioned in Paris Match), One Direction are playing said stadium on the 20th and 21st of June. Let's assume One Direction needs one day to load in so that takes the 19th out of the Stones. If the Stones need one day to load out that takes the 18th. This would mean the Stones' date is June 17th or earlier.

Pure speculation here of course. Any One Direction fans here that could shed some light on their load-in and load-out times?

EDIT: One Direction dates corrected

The youngest IORRian is still some 3 times the age of the older One Direction fan....

I do not want to complain, but having seen pics of the large rather boring 2014 on fire stage from Toyka and Abu Dhabi I hope for at least some "arena sized" gigs during the Euopean leg where the "old" lip-shaped stage is reused.

Yeap, I am always deciding whether or not I am going to see a band based on the shape of the stage they are going to use :-)

Seriously though - arena gigs in Europe would be great, of course. But I would be happy if I get to any gig. If I am 2 meters from the stage, I don't mind much whether there are 8000 or 80 000 people. No need to mention, that all stages look pretty much the same from that distance :-)

consider yourself being 2 meters away from the stage and a stage height of 2-3 m . I am sure you would prefer the tounge shape arena stage that was around 1.5 m in high (and people in the pit were face to face ehrr face to knee with the Stones).

Correct it's a great stage and I hope that some Europeans will have the chance to see that stage. Even if they won't be in the pit, it's different and an experience.

Well, that IS true. Yes, I also prefer arena shows, especially if I have a FOS ticket. But then again, I haven't seen The Stones in 7 years, so I just take any scale of te show as long I am part of it.

Hmm ... I expect them to play Pinkpop. But I don't know how trustable the source is. I never heard of that DJ ;-)

Good news...I was starting to think..it was too quiet

Yes,the contract is signed for this summer festival.
Announcement early march.
Sure? Yes, a very good friend of mine is a musician in a major band supporting The Stones at TW Classics. That band signed the gig this week and gave me the news today.
More major bands tba soon, or should I say one major artist, who suddenly shifted gears by releasing some of the strongest material, beginning in the late nineties.
This festival will be one hell of a day!

Interesting! Thanks

Great information mrsoul. I can well believe it. Wonder where the London gigs will be. Probably Wembley, I reckon.

Not to be confused with Rock Werchter at the same festival site.
TW Classics is the festival where Springsteen headlined last year, the weekend after Rock Werchter.

that would/will be fantastic!!!
