right, they're not Mother Therea. Therefore the import factors are: money, infrastructure, image of the city, enough people living in the area AND willing (and being able) to spend a lot of money.
And no other Rolling Stones shows close by (and no other big concerts around the same time at the same place).
If it's only 3 shows in Germany (and given the fact thht the want to maximize income) and one these shows is Munich, the other two will be neither Stuttgart nor Nuremberg nor…, but Berlin and Ruhrgebiet. That means neither Hannover nor Leipzig nor Hamburg nor Dresden nor… etc… - sorry

I do not see why Munich - Hamburg - Dresden would not make sense if they don't play Prague. The last concerts there or relatively closeby were 11 - 10 - 14 years ago. Berlin-Waldbühne would be also sold out of course, but they wouldn't fill the stadium after just three years. In Dresden - where the demand would be much higher than anywhere in Germany - they would easily sell 60-80.000 tix if the prices are not too absurd. Even AC/DC sold 80.000 two years ago. A stadium in Cologne/Ruhr area would probably also hard to fill after three years (see the desaster in West Germany 2007).

It looks like the Stones-Tour will be an Indoor-Tour in Fall 2017 and Dresden does not have an Indoor Arena with >15,000 capacity.

For instance Munich has Olympiahalle (15,500), Hamburg has Barclaycard Arena (16,000), Cologne Lanxess Arena (20,000), Berlin has Mercedes-Benz Arena (17,000).

Coukd we please get an update on the rumoured european 2017 gigs from you Bjornulf??
Thanks

NLD, Arnhem, Gelredome with a retractable roof.
Great venue too. Capacity max (concerts): 41000.

That's true, but Dresden has a 80.000 open air venue which can be used in September. (And a nice 10 years old 32.000 stadium.) They won't play 15.000 venues I think, because they had to sell 400 Euro tickets there to get the money they want.

I'm pretty sure it won't be Dresden

btw AC/DC played 9 shows in Germany in 2015, the Stones are going to play three shows only. Thus they will only play the big metropolitan areas and the south east corner of Germany is not one of them (sorry)…

We will see. Remember the half filled stadiums in West Germany 2006/07?

Well, i am willing to pay some more money for an indoor show, knowing it will be The Last European Tour.

...yawn....

And by the way: I can live with Munich (which is München). But
the stadium´s name is Olympiastadion. As a German I say
Giants Stadium and Stade de France (instead of
Gigantenstadion and Stadion von Frankreich).

I've said this many times here before but people seem to forget that concert ticket sales in Germany in 2006 would obviously have been affected by Germany hosting the World Cup that year.

Indoor Tour. Ok. Switzerland could be possible because we have enough money to pay expensive tickets for Zurich Hallenstadion. But I would prefer lucky dips. We had nearly every tour a date. Why not now?

He may not know more than he has already given us. When he knows more, enough to justify a new set of probably-rumours, he will give them to us.

Did I? Shame on me! I love Switzerland. Would like to see a show there, too

Portugal in the last European tour had the biggest audience...90 000
I bet that Lisbon might be on the list....

Can't find myself on your photo, but I am definitively in the crowd

That was a festival, though. How many attended Roskilde? Couldn't have been far behind..

EDIT: Found it! 80.000 (I was there).

Okey, fellow Scandinavians. Odds for one or more gigs in Scandinavia this time around? What do you think? And in that case - which city?

Stockholm and Oslo.

Too bad both possible arenas are "noisedomes"
