S**t, a double booking ! What a colossal f**k up, I really MUST fire that booking agent !! You just can't get quality staff these days ....... !!

That would be just amazing if it happens. To finish up with an extended tour of their home country, where it all began after a 56 year career would be most appropriate and very appreciated after 5 years of not being here! And for Continental European Stones fans, it's as good as a 2nd consecutive Summer Tour as it's easy and cheap for you to get here. I was at their last shows here, the 2 Hyde Park gigs in 2013 and a huge chunk of the crowd were non British, especially so amongst the early queuers.
The 1990 Urban Jungle Tour was my first and the 10 shows were all in big stadia. 5 nights at Wembley, though I only went to 1. Bring it on!
The Rolling Stones could sell out a football stadium in every single major city in UK if the price was right. Just like they did SarsStock in support of Toronto, it would be great to have them back for a significant homecoming tour next year. It was in UK it all started...

And the only way I'll get my H to agree to fund another RS concert extravaganza is IF it's UK, he's a citizen who hasn't been back in 35 years! 35, 35, sounding lucky...
Correct, Monsoon Ragoon.
Are we going to start to talk about 'Lucky Dips' again?
I think they could easily sell out 10 shows again, provided they weren't too overpriced. Back in 1990, with £25 GPB General Admission tickets for every show (and no Golden Circle/front of stage!), tickets could be obtained for most shows without too much difficulty. It's a different World now though.
Some of The press used to give them a tough time here in the past for some reason but not so much now. It might have been something to do with their exile in France in 1971 to escape ruinous taxes. But that's ancient history now and The press now seem to see them as a great British export, as they always should have done, along with all of our other superstar bands
Not a snowball's chance in hell. But 6-8 with 'normal' prices and some Lucky dips plus don't forget that the numbers who travel abroad for shows is far,far higher than it was in 1990. There is definitely a market there for a U.K. Tour, to say nothing of pent up domestic demand after what will by then be 5 years without a gig on U.K. Soil.
There were many thousands of non British in Hyde Park in 2013 and Brits were a small minority of those queueing from early morning, which I did for both shows. In fact I waited up all night before the 1st and I was the only British person there! French, Dutch, Italians and many more.

I think it won't be cheaper than Europe 17, in London probably even more expensive. That means 3-5 shows plus one in Ireland.
No-one has suggested the latter is going to happen.
EDIT for Monsoon's benefit...like delaying a studio album of original material until 2018 (THAT seems like a long term plan for 74+ to me) yet releasing (yet another) live album this year?

I think their final shows will be in London as they should be - it's their home city where it all began in pubs and clubs. But there's certainly plenty of pent up demand for elsewhere in the country. Edinburgh, Manchester and Cardiff are a good bet. All have huge stadia, well able to accomodate them.
There is a lot more to any country than just its Capital City and the UK is no different.

Noy sure that's relevant but I believe so. There are no stadia in the area suitable for them to play in other than Villa Park and it's in an area with a lot of traffic congestion already.
There are plenty of other UK cities with suitable and big enough stadia though.
Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Sunderland, Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff.

BV,so there aren't many possibilities to see the new album this year in the fall?!Then, how about a possible Australasian Tour in early 2018 (Feb./Apr.), Mick some months ago talk about the possibility to come back in India, Japan and South Africa too...

They're playing in my garden in early July 2018. They had a look, decided the place was big enough for a small stage and an audience of around 200 people, the only condition they set was that I prune the climbing roses back a bit harder than normal, and that I make more ice available for the lemonade.
They also had a look at Wembley Stadium, but dismissed it. It's s**t they told me, too much bloody concrete - and the lemonade is awful !
Pretty cool huh ? It's by invitation only btw ...
This is clearly a lie, they're playing in my back garden then !

When you are at age 74+ you don't really plan long term. You say you plan to do something next year, but you do not sign a contract for a twenty years bank loan. So after the NO FILTER tour, and after the leaves have turned red and yellow and brown in Europe, and after they have fallen of, and after months of winter storms, the agencies will try to get a signature on a paper saying the Stones will do more shows. Then high up on their wish list of things to do, after playing with children and grandchildren and all of that, they will look into the offers. If Charlie still feels like banging the drums, if Keith and Mick has survived the hefty discussions on how to mix the new album, they will drag Ronnie out on a local tour for some great shows, may be the greatest UK tour since 1990, when they did ten shows, the last one also the final one with Bill. Lots of may be's and for sure a probabaly.
That would be just amazing if it happens.

I think the number and location of UK shows next year will be influenced by the promotion and success of the rumoured new album.
Realistically, it's probable that the only city the band play in will be London. However, if the album or single(s) from the album are well received, receive radio play and/or chart well, there could be more demand for shows outside of the capital.
