Tell Me :
Talk
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.
I can't see a new album out in June, bad time for sales.
They had the blues album ready on December 2015 (or mid-April after overdubs and mix) but it was put on hold until December 2016 waiting for the Christmas sales market, yet with tour dates being played on October.
You're talking about the "new" Wembley Stadium, don't you?
I saw the Stones in the old one.
Hola Leteyer, I had a guess it might be you
As a Mexican Stones fan resident in Paris, There had to be a good chance. Your friend was a student in Bath at the time, near where I work in Swindon. She was 2 or 3 places away from me on the rail at the end of the catwalk at the Oslo show. It was the most crazy coincidence and piece of good luck that she recognised me in London and you had that spare ticket!
Muchas gracias,
Gregor
PS, I think I've seen you posting on the Macca board too? I was at his show at Bercy in May.
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.
Nate
Hi Nate, while the increasing London centricness of this country annoys and concerns me and is, Imho, unhealthy, in the Stones' case, you are spot on. The fact that all 4 band members are Londoners seals the deal. In past tours, I've seen the band play Sheffield, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Cardiff but they're unlikely to go there again.
I think the tour will be mostly Capital Cities, as was the case for most of the 2014 shows. Even Werchter and Roskilde are close to Brussels and Copenhagen respectively.
Yes as a Scot, I'm well aware that Edinburgh and Cardiff are capitals too, but if the UK gets 1 show, it won't be far from London.
I don´t like the festival idea. They should do those shows in front of
their own audience in the biggest stadiums.
I didn' know that Patti Hansen wait for a tour to visit her family. I think she is the one who plans the cities then. "Hey Mick, could to make a show in Munich, I would like to savour a sauerkraut with meat"
I do - the tickets are usually much cheaper and Front of Stage is usually for early queuers and not those willing and able to pay €€€€€€€
Agreed !!
Jeroen
The never played Rock Am Ring/Im Park, maybe sort of the German Glastonbury.
[iorr.org]
That doesn't say much for the Olympic Stadium then
I went to the old Wembley 13 times and the new one twice and thought the transport logistics were awful nearly every time.
I don't think, they gonna play there, but the festival still needs another top act.
Rock am Ring
Not sure I am. I was at the MCCartney gig there this year. It's an absolute pain in the arse to get to and the stage is a ridiculous height.
Talk about your favorite band.

Hello,
Do you have any rumours about which part of summer the tour could take place? June like the last time (and festivals season) or later...? I already have to fill 2017 holidays requests form at my company

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...

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.

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.

Not one date confirmed but still eleven pages of speculation here. I seem to distinguish a pattern here: If you live in London - you want them to play in London. If you live in Paris - you want them to play in Paris.
And so on. Hardly surprising..

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.

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 saw the Stones at the Werchter festival 2014. Bad Audience (the worst i've ever seen) and the transport system is just awful. Also i don't like the festival thing. They should play for their own crowd. Maybe also some smaller venues like Waldbühne or Ahoi Arena. Would be perfect for a Blues Session..
