I'll give a shout out for them to play Leeds...we have a very nice new arena which acoustically is better than most. I was at the Roundhay Park gig in 1982 and as we know it's now been released officially due to it being a great show...similarly the Leeds University gig from 71 has gone down as a classic gig in their history (was only 10 years old so missed that one, although my older brother went) .
It's about time the North of England had a visit, and as I haven't seen them since Glastonbury it would be good to only have to travel a few miles to the gig.
FD arena is fabulous (seen Bruce, Cohen, Jack White, Vampire Weekend, etc there and about 20 miles for me) but can't see the economics working at 13000 capacity :-/
Roundhay would be great but suspect it'll be etihad in Manchester if there's a northern gig. Edging my bets and off to Arnhem in 3 weeks tho!

They liked returning to "big" venues like they did with Slane in 07 and Hyde park in 13 , so I could see Roundhay Park if it's still allowed and Knebworth next year.......maybe ><

UK will have it's fair share of Stones shows next summer. A whole tour, may be 10-12 shows, that is what they are talking about. Knebworth three days with wish list mega-acts The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and one more. Ireland, Scotland, Wales and of course England shows. Don't book your holiday to Spain next summer. Tell your partner UK is a great place to be in the summer of 2018.

I am crossing my fingers for a real Pink Floyd reunion at Knebworth 2018. I know it is complicated but still possible. Comfortably Numb with both Gilmour and Waters would be something.

Interesting and surprising to me, as I can't imagine there being the demand for that number of shows in the UK, going by the relatively small number of UK shows over recent decades.
In order to reach the now standard number of dates (around 14 or 15), maybe the Stones will begin their 2018 tour in America, where there seems to be an inexhaustible demand, or parts of Europe not visited in 2017, before moving on to perform a series of dates resembling the following
Slane Castle, Republic of Ireland
Murrayfield, Edinburgh, Scotland
Old Trafford, Manchester, England
Millenium Stadium, Cardiff, Wales
Villa Park, Birmingham, England
Twickenham Stadium, London, England (2 dates)

Does anybody know the dates for the Knebworth 2018 Festival, or are they yet to be announced?

Don't want to be a doom monger but I honestly cannot see Waters/Gilmour or Page
/Plant sharing a stage together in 2018....or thereafter.

Yes, Etihad Stadium is a more common concert venue, but Old Trafford is a larger and more famous venue. It's still used for concerts, I think Billy Joel's playing there in June.
Hopefully 'the second city' will get a show - what stadium could be used if not Villa Park?
As for London, I've heard complaints about the sound at Wembley, and I'd like to see them return to the scene of one of their greatest ever shows. But I agree, playing at Wembley would make sense as well.
