This is NOT looking good for a mini tour, other than Vegas. I don't ever recall a tour announced this late..

This must really be hush-hush
My friend who works at the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas hasn't heard anything about an added Stones date on the 22nd as of yet.

Correct, I looked into this as well. For some reason, the Garden calendar hasn't been updated with the Knicks and Rangers games. Very few open dates available.

The truth is that the U.S had enough shows over the last 4 years, over 35 shows while other VERY important countries had 2 or 3 as much, so 4 more shows this year is like a bonus.
Europe was really under-represented so far, if they will tour again that's the place to go.

Potential further evidence that Desert Trip(s) and Vegas may be it for the mini-tour.. Sasha's Twitter post from today..

I really don't see how we can complain (at least seriously) about the bands recent activity.
They have played tours (lets say more than 12 gigs a year) for each of the last 4 years (2013-2016), and a few in 2012.. They haven't done that since 64-67. Tiny tours in 70 and 71; nothing for huge gaps.
In 2016 it will be a tour of South America, all outdoor stadia in the heat and humidity and craziness; and now 3 or 4 gigs in the US.
Every new tour, every next gig, every new piece of work is a massive bonus. Sure they can't be in everyone's back yard every year - but when did that ever happen?? Flights to see the band are no more than the tickets if you want (and can) travel.
less negative waves please

I want to see the 10/22 show as I have no tickets for the others. I guess I could get one outside arena from someone but for how much and are they fake? Anyone from the NW going?

Maybe Europe has been "under-represented" but consideration has to be given to the size of these countries. Compare the size of the U.S. to the size of most European countries. Look at the vast distance between Las Vegas and New York City. Just because they are both in the U.S. doesn't mean that they are anywhere near close together.
You could consider every concert from 2012 onwards as a bonus but,major markets have been skipped such as the Pacific NorthWest (Seattle,Portland) and the Red Rocks show would have been nice from an acoustical stand point.
As well,a concert in the northeast Atlantic area of the U.S. for the first time in more than 3 years would also be nice.
You would figure that if they can handle four shows,they can handle eight or so,give or take.
