In all honesty, I can't see them touring again until the autumn, assuming they (logically) want to tour behind a new album.
It will take that long for them to finish an album,in my opinion.

London is one of the greatest cities in the world and is in a league of its own when it comes to cities in the UK.
If the stones play in the UK and only hit London you will get people complaining that they don't play other places in the UK which is ridiculous as its only a short journey to London from anywhere in the UK and it's the best city to visit in the UK by a long shot.

Nate

Short journey? Well its more the added expense. For two people, two tickets plus transport plus overnight accommodation and its a lot of dosh for many many people.
Its the same with Premier Football...the cost of a season ticket has taken it out of reach for many fans.Certainly not a working man's game any more.
I was a student in 1972 and could afford to travel to a Man United FA Cup game....those were the days.

I was at the show on the 17th awesome show first and only time they did might as well get juiced, also thief in he night was great.

Of course I understand that it is added expense when you have to travel,I was really referring to the people who just can't be bothered to travel a short distance to see a show expecting the stones to turn up at their doorstep.

I think a lot of people are getting fed up with top flight football because of the gargantuan money the players earn now and sometimes they look like they can't even be bothered to run around for 90 minutes to earn their £250K a week and before anyone says that the stones earn similar money yes they do but they have earned it.

When you go to a football game 50% of the people will leave the game unhappy,when you go to a stones concert then everyone leaves with a huge smile on their face.

Is there any news regarding the possibility of a US tour towards the end of this year-maybe BV might know something!!

Title of this thread had me believing you knew something. I'm thinking they will return to Europe first.

They'll probably hit the big markets in the US - L.A., NY, Chicago, Boston, Detroit, and maybe Vegas.

Rip this joint, gonna save your soul, round and round and round we go......

I would think myself if they get a new record out by late Sept that maybe 5 to 6 shows in Europe in October and the same from mid November to mid December in the US is plausible with more to follow in early 17 but that surely depends on how the band is feeling because even working and traveling at a slower pace can still be a bit taxing when you get to their age which every year becomes more of a big deal. I just hope its a very blues based LP and that can allow them to tinker with the set list and tweak it a little more. These shows from 2012 forward will surely be their last.

Depends on the schedule for Billionaires having birthday parties.

A good source told me definitely a US tour of major cities this year.

If they record an album over the summer, a six week tour through the US in the fall to promote it isn't improbable. I haven't heard anything about dates being held at any venues though.

It has been three years since they hit the major US markets and they do seem to be getting into a pattern of six weeks of touring twice an year.

They will tour Europe first. I think it will be in 2017, but hope earlier.

Wrap up Ole' tour... wrap up new album... embark on tour with high priced tickets in NA arenas in big time cities like LA SF LV CHI TOR NYC towards the end of 2016... head to the football pitches of Europe late Spring-Summer of 2017... then maybe back to Australia and Japan...

That's my guess too - US late this year, followed by Europe and then Asia and Australia towards the end of 17.

I'd add Philadelphia, Boston, Phoenix and Seattle/Vancouver to your list of cities.

We have to realize that every single minute when The Rolling Stones still exist and even play in public is a miraculous gift for us.

Two six to eight week tours within a 12 month period:

Nov-Dec 2012 UK/US
May-June 2013 US with 3 dates in the UK in July
Feb-March 2014 Middle East, Asia
May-July 2014 Europe
Oct-Dec 2014 Australia, New Zealand
May-July 2015 US
Feb-March 2016 South America, Mexico

2014 there were three 4-8 week tours, but Australia/New Zealand was interrupted in March and rescheduled for the fall. The pattern that is developing is 12 weeks of touring - divided into two legs per 12 months for an eternal tour.

If there will be another US tour I will definitely come over the pond.

I still haven't seen my favourite band in the US! Time to do something about it

They'll touring US/Canada major cities with a new album out in the fall, in 2017 they'll touring Europe stadium in late spring/summer and then they'll touring Asia/Australia/New Zeland in the fall 2017 or early 2018 with a possible comeback in US or Europe in 2018 like ABB 2007 Tour...
New album title will be the same of the Exhibition "concept":"Exhibitionism" or "Exhibitionists" and so on...And the Exhibition will continue for the next four years in the major big cities all over the world, so it is possible that next tour with a new album will last as long as possible...

What source do you have? Or is it just speculations?

Just speculations...But excellent and realistic speculations!

I'm hoping for a Dead & Company stadium tour this summer, but I'll take the arena first.
