I thought Knebworth Festival was off.
I am so ignorant on stadiums verses arenas England in starting my sales pitch to my H,
asking if any of his relatives live by Wembley, is it the stadium or arena?
No matter, concluded best to slip into country w/out telling. Still scheming.

Remember that on some recent tours they have not sold any lucky dips.

That is true. 50 & Counting North America, 14 on Fire Europe, Zip Code 2015 & No Filter have all had them so it's highly likely though by no means guranteed.

Well it looks like the rumoured Knebworth festival isn't happening next year:
[www.musicweek.com]
"Music Week revealed in September that the promoter was bidding to put on a new multi-day event in Knebworth Park next summer, but it is understood this is no longer being considered for 2018. However, the duo have reiterated their wish to stage a camping event "outside of a city" in the coming years."
I'd guess on two nights at Wembley Stadium plus other regional gigs.
What's your favourite flavour?...........Cherry Red!!

Rock am Ring / Rock im Park (it's a double festival, same weekend, same bands but on different days) is very unlikely since the Stones played three shows in Germany this year (and the site of Rock am Ring is quite close to Dusseldorf and the site for Rock im Park is relavtive close to Munich).

To make a 12 show UK tour, I guess this is more realistic?

Stadium of Light in Sunderland would be a good choice. Bruce Springsteen and other big acts have played there in recent years I think. But St. James' Park in Newcastle is not a good alternative IMO. I know the Stones have played there before, but not after the 1998 expansion of the stadium. The Leazes End is so high and steep that the stage (if placed at the other end) would seem to be miles away.
Surprised no one has mentioned Birmingham, England's 2nd biggest city with several stadiums and indoor arenas.

I hear you odeam and I do hope it happens. No gig since 73 is ridiculous for a city of Brom's stature. However, too many things mitigate against it. No recent history of gigs at any of the city's 3 major football stadia and, perhaps the biggest one of all, Birmingham City Council would have to be involved in any bid for a gig. As we all know, they're skint. If it was an arena tour you'd be in with s big chance with 2 excellent venues in the NIA & NEC.
TheWorst,
Agreed on Sunderland's City of Light. It has a strong recent history of gigs - you can add 'Take That' to your list. It has easier access than St James's Park too and seems to have gazumped it as the stadium gig venue of choice in the North East.

It's a pity the Sheffield Don Valley Stadium is no longer with us.
They played it three times in the 90 s & noughties ....must have liked it.
The sound was always good because it wasn't a fully enclosed football type stadium with towering stands on all sides.

Quite liked the don valley, i went when it was raining and made quite an atmosphere, everything was convenient.

I think they should do Blackpool considering it'd be exactly 10 years since there ban from the town was lifted!
There's no venue there for a big gig but a nice warm up show would be good
