Wembley Stadium is one of the worst venues for live music in the world (no exageration intended) - from getting to the stadium (awful), the sound (awful), the atmosphere (bad enough for football matches let alone a live gig) the view from certain locations in the stadium, getting away from the stadium after the gig, empty corporate seats...they don't need to tick this venue off - just go elsewhere in London (or the nearby vicinity) if they have to. Plenty of other stadiums, stately houses and parks that can do a better job.
Of course...that's if they play the UK this time around...

In your opinion is it possible a double gift for the fans:having European Tour and new album together?!?

I thought getting there and leaving there was easy.
After the gig (AC/DC), we left the stadium and hopped on the tube without any delay. Pretty amazing actually.
The sound was horrible though.

Less than 50.000 in Paris in 2007 for a capacity of 78.500...
Was there.
Well, they had played a sold out crowd at the same venue just the year before.
And the stadium was absolutely crammed in 2014.
(Was there - 2003,2006,2007,2014)
I was there 1998, 2007 and 2014. I travelled to Paris in 2014 without a ticket and got one by pure chance from a Mexican girl who recognised me from the early queue in Oslo 18 days before. We were on the London Paris coach and her friend in Psris had a spare in GA Gold which I bought from her the next day at face value. If thst hadn't happened aI would have struggled as I saw no touts on the day so I think it was a true sellout. 1998 was a big crowd but not sold out. I had a nosebleed seat but was allowed to walk into the pitch unchallenged and got a good spot.
Paris has always been a favourite venue for the Stones and I can't see them skipping it.

One show per country on this tour and you seriously expect that the U.K. show would not be played in or around London you are dreaming.

The rumour around (from good source) is a 8-10 date European tour, mostly
festivals with 1 SHOW per country, Knebworth being the last one.
They received multiple offers, from about 15 European countries, but not more
than 10 dates are being considered.

Let's hope they start the rehearsels again close to BV in Oslo!
Was fun.
Then Keith and Patti can visit the family in Norway again...
Not a good one, but they managed Keith to open up, a bit. Those two are famous from a decent TV show.

I don´t like the festival idea. They should do those shows in front of
their own audience in the biggest stadiums.

Any festival names or countries mentioned?
There aren't that many big festivals around Europe other than the ones they've played before and I'm guessing they'd rather play the ones they haven't played.

I have seen AC/DC in London - Wembley and Olympic Stadium. Wembley is much better both in regards to location, transport and atmosphere....Quote
