Now that the Stones have played Cuba for the first time, I'm looking for a complete list of all the countries they've played.

I can't find such a list online. Anyone got one?

Thanks in advance.

Here's an almost complete interactive map updated until 2012:

Cuba
Colombia
Peru

Argentina
Uruguay
Brazil
New Zealand
Australia
Singapore
China
Hong Kong, Special Administrative Region of China

Not a sovereign country/state. It's an unincorporated territory of the United States.

Fabulous!! Thanks everyone!

As an American I am well aware of it, but put it on the list anyway, as it is not technically the US and I figured if I left it out, people would wonder where it was.
By the same token, with Honk Kong and Macau, one can argue and say they are China and not separate.

Honk Kong

+2 defunct countries: East Germany, Czechoslovakia.

You can add Yugoslavia (Zagreb 1976)

Iceland is overdue... Time for some geyser-rock!

Hey! You! Get Off of Macau :E

We could call the Isle of Man too

Didn't they play the canal islands in 1964, or did they miss Isle Of Man?

Yes, they should play Iceland and I hope it will happen soon (maybe Ronnie gave us a hint the other day?)I will be there for sure. I also think Slovakia should get their piece of the cake the next time around. Bratislava is a modern capital, just 1 hour away from Vienna by car or train.


And I think they should give South Korea a go. A bit strange they haven´t done it yet. It´s just a 2 hours flight from Tokyo to Seoul. I reckon they would have no problems selling out a few shows in Seoul. And they never returned to Thailand after canceling the shows in 2003 due to SARS.

Still plenty of new markets to play!

Isle of Man is in the Irish Sea, but they played a few gigs there in Douglas back in 1964. Actually, the gig in Palace Ballroom, Douglas, on the 13th of August 1964 is one of their best documented from this era. Plenty of photographs exists. It was recorded and broadcasted on local radio, and interviews were done backstage by local TV - and some live clips from the show still exist on film. However, the show is mostly remembered for the German Shepherd dogs used by local police on stage to intimidate the youth.

Yeah, I remember Phelge writing about that gig in his book.

What about a list of countries where the Stones have played-up...



ROCKMAN

You could add Malaysia if you wanted to get technical
Singapore was part of Malaysia when they first played there

Just follow this link: [www.setlist.fm]

Impressive.
I wonder which singer/group has played the MOST countries?

Probably not far off - him, or Nana Mouskouri, or Demis Roussos, or Ivan Rebroff.

Oh thanks.

Have checked the concert stats for ELVIS PRESLEY:

1380 concerts in the USA
5 concerts in Canada (1957).

Saved on passport renewal concerts but what a waste.

Lot of countries where a lot of rock bands/artists play and where the Stones never did: Venezuela, Ecuador, Paraguay, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, South Korea, Bulgaria...
Places where they must be more real Stones fans than in China, in Abu Dahbi, or in Cuba...

Yes, I was about to mention Bulgaria. When a group of metal bands played there a few years ago, huge crowds showed up. Why not play there?

Here's a list of countries U2 have played in incl. 2 shows in 'Unknown'.

Probably just bad luck. The Stones usually play in countries with strong economy. Sometimes they make exceptions (Romania, Estonia, Montenegro etc.), but they haven't also played in Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, they also cancelled they scheduled show in Ukraine in 2007 due to unstable economic situation.
