No further gigs in America or U.K. as they are already over exposed from staging concerts there in 2012 & 2013.
With the |Stones demands at $5.0m per gig not being met they have already had to compromise
and reduce their concert fee considerably.
After the 15 gig European tour the only market that they can realistically target is South America.
A perfectly reasonable assumption I'd have thought.
They'll do very well to get $5 million a gig in South America!

I don't want to be a party killer, but before they did the Brooklyn/Newark and half a year later summer US/Canada tour, how many years was it since they toured North America? I think it was Nov 2006, Vancouver, right? It took them six years to return.
They have a "missing link" with Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Seattle, Vancouver, so I would not be surprised they do another round at some point, including a few big apple shows too, but first I think they want to rediscover South America.

I read an english spoken financial paper here in Asia and it said Argentina was deep in the economical mess as always while Brazil was to hot. The Stones could need it the other way around. I know they want to do South America, but then they would need to get someone to pay for it. May be kick-start arena shows in Miami, Nassau, Atlanta, Houston, then Mexico stadium, Brazil new stadiums and Montevideo, Santiago and 2x BA. That would be the perfect run and I think they could make money from it too. 14 shows or so as usual. There has been talks of Caracas too but things are not safe there now.

From what I heard at the Macau show the Stones crew are working with U2 next. Can't see them doing another round of the US after last year.

Dallas plus the town in which I reside--should work perfectly. What an excellent idea!

If that is true, then it really isn't a "Stones crew" per se. That would make them freelancers or contractors. The Stones could just as easily hire a fresh crew of contractors to handle the meat and potatoes tasks, the heavy lifting, etc. Their real crew consists of the hired personal assistants and the like, and is a decidely small and close-knit group.

Honestly, being someone from the New York area, I think we've gotten more than our share of Stones shows recently. Sure, none were in New York City proper, but we got a Brooklyn show, 2 Newark, NJ shows and 2 Philly shows which were within traveling distance. I'm certainly not saying I'd like to see them again, and I guess MSG is the big outlier, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they want to spread the love other places. And since they seem to take longer breaks these days, a year can go by quickly.

Yes indeed, I was at the Vancouver show. They need to get back here!
Yes please!Quote

It is true some of the Rolling Stones road crew also work with U2, but this would not have any impact on their future plans. If U2 does start their tour later this year (which at this point is not likely since the new album isn't finished yet and is not expected to be released before the end of the year and maybe not even until 2015) the Stones will simply find replacements for the personnel that are contracted to go out with U2. It's completely a non-issue.
