Concert venue
Hanging Rock reserve is currently used as an occasional outdoor concert venue by major international acts on the Australian leg of their tours.
The following events have taken place at Hanging Rock as part of a trial by Frontier Touring and the Macedon Ranges Shire Council:
Leonard Cohen - November 2010
Rod Stewart - February 2012
Bruce Springsteen - March 2013 (Wrecking Ball tour)
In 2014 the Rolling Stones were scheduled to play a night concert (30th March) at Hanging Rock as part of their "14 On Fire" tour. The death of Mick Jagger's partner, L'Wren Scott, resulted in the postponement of the entire tour. The tour was rescheduled and resumed in Adelaide on October 25th 2014. The Hanging Rock concert is will take place on Saturday, November 8th 2014
In October 2013 Frontier Touring signed a five-year agreement with the Macedon Ranges Shire Council to hold up to four concerts per year at Hanging Rock, effective from 31 October 2014.

There were only 2 Melbourne shows. Rod Laver on the 5th of November, and Hanging Rock on the 8th (cancelled).
I too wish Mick a speedy recovery.

I feel bad for the stones fans in Hanging Rock.
It happened to me 2 times. London 1990, show cancelled with a couple of days notice (after I drove all the way from Milano), and Milano 1998, this time with only a few hours notice.
It also happened in 1995, but the scheduled concert in Milano was cancelled with large notice, so no problem (can't remember if they actually sold tickets).
I agree that it could have been a nice thing to do to save the show somehow. The band is not missing singers! Put together a set of 10/15 odd songs. Jagger could have played keyboards or guitar or whatever. It could have turned out into something!
I remember a concert of Robert Plant once when he could hardly sing. He explained what the problem was, excused himself and informed that he would be playing guitar for most of the show. In the end it was a great show!

keith has done his own shows. how about a "winos" show with the stones as the "winos". keith has already sung gimme shelter. bring out a couch for mick to lounge on and play tamborine and maracas. they always seem to play much harder when keith is singing. could be a hell of a show, and they don't have to give up the money. who travels all that way to make no money.
Ron could do, iorr, Pretty beat up and Black limosine and maybe a couple of New Barbarian / Ron songs......I'd still go....
Bernard on Miss you.......

In 1995 tickets didn't even go on sale for the Milano concert. If they did, I would have bought them from day one. Still remember that the date the concert was allegedly scheduled for was June 27th.
