Still no update on RS.COM. Strange.

Just got a message from the official app with the dates of the European tour.

The first real official news about the upcoming European Tour

It has been officially stated now: [www.rollingstones.com] , [Twitter.com] , [www.Facebook.com] .

I miss the arena dates :-) wonder what they will tell about Mick Taylor.

Cool, now I can order my plane tickets.

I guess they consider Oslo and Berlin akin to arena dates. the 2 venues hold 20.000 people aprox.

Seems that rollingstones.com begins to revive! European dates are official. But still no access to the new dates' tickets.

I don't like that they are putting out official news on the EU tour before the rescheduled dates for AUS/NZ or at least new word on the rescheduleling process. Another kick in the guts.

Now all European dates' ticket access alive!

Sorry, still not all the dates are on.

I think that now there is a quite big chance to a European Tour

How is it?

the Euro dates have been negotiated now for weeks and months. The shows start in under two months. How much longer should they have waited to try and sell half a million tickets? the shows have been on sale for about a week. More in some cases. Many are sold out - if people were relying solely on rs.com for getting news about how to buy tickets, they'd have missed out completely.

The Aussie dates were only postponed less than two weeks ago. You cant just reschedule an entire tour with all the logistics that are involved (hotels, venue availability etc) in that time. And the shows are still probably about 7 months or more away.

I guess that's a good question, I'd just presumed he was on board from now on.

Waldbühne is of course an arena, also Telenor Arena with just 25,000 people. Two out of 14, then a few stadiums, then a few festivals. I think the info is pretty accurate.

If they played 14 arena only shows in Europe then it would have been higher ticket prices and only 250,000 fans total who could see them. Now they will perform in front of 800,000 fans i.e. close to one million people. Big difference.

Totally agree, but for arena shows I was expecting the tonguepit stage. We might have to wait for that one in Australia

Any venue that holds a football field is not an "arena", at least not to this American English speaker.

Now everything is there:

"Telenor arena" is a small indoor football stadium. capacity for concerts is actually 23.000, which is just a little bit more than most US arenas (which, for concerts in a 360-degree config, on average hold nearly 20.000 people ).

shame no England

I can never get what I want

Telenor Arena is too wide and deep for the tongue stage (football floor). Waldbühne is a natural amphi and there is no space for any kinds of artificial tongue pit stage, all natural as part of the hillside amphi. I think the Stones realized it was either large shows for many fans or exclusive shows for the few.

They could have played Oslo Sperktum capacity 9,000 and ticket price 3.500 kr i.e 600 dollars with the tongue pit stage but I am glad they did not. Then 16,000 fans would have to be outside. Same with any other arena in Europe. There are very few 20,000 capacity hockey arena's in Europe, like they have basket/hockey arenas in USA.

For what its worth, I think the mix for Europe is about right - some interesting cities; mix of venues; mix of prices.

now where will the warm,-up gig be held.....

Yeah, there is the Ziggodome Amsterdam. ! And they should have been there, people would have paid the money,.
Big mistake from the promoters !!! Well, maybe in 2016

Hope it's not an April fools joke, it would be so great. But the article is dated Dec. 0f 2013, before L'Wren's death, so hard to say what's going to happen now. Mick has to get through the tour first.

i'm sorry i did'nt see it's from 2013!!

i want so much a new album that i become stupid
