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

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.
Ah, B2B Tour ....pissed it down for about 30 mins of the set .
Great fun though
At the VL show in '95, it was a warm, sunny evening. Only my 2nd ever Stones show. It was only built in 1990 for the World Student Games and demolished just 23 years after construction. Sheffield City Council couldn't afford to run it. Liked that venue and clearly the Stones did too as they returned twice - an absolutely scandalous waste of resources.

That show in '95 was my first show, aged 11. Life-changing!

Removing your limbs with a hacksaw would be a more enjoyable experience than spending a day in Blackpool.

With the Winter Garden & the Tower Ballroom being exquisite exceptions, there is absolutely nothing worth romanticizing about Blackpool.
It's full of cafe's, b&b's , arcade's, poundshops, gambling shops & Wetherspoons pubs.....and these are just the 'legal' establishments.
It's the archetypal run down , once proud town. A victim of decade's long council & local government mismanagement. A victim of neglect & globalisation.
It's a hell hole, like so many other UK towns in 2017.
That often- deluded old wag, Morrissey, got it spot on 30 years ago, in his masterpiece "Everyday Is Like Sunday"
There is zero chance of the Stones going anywhere near the place, only maybe flying 30,000 feet above it.

I can't imagine Sir Mick & Co being concerned about how pretty the town is or isn't. Surely, when it comes to venues, bums on seats = money in the bank, is about it from their point of view?

There is an English television show called the Jeremy Kyle show,if you look for this on YouTube you will see the type of people that live in Blackpool.
Go and watch it then see if you still think the Stones would go anywhere near it.

All they need for a gig is a large area and a crowd, and a fence so that they can ask for money before the crowd enter through gates. They can do a gig any place, like Spielberg, Lucca, Werchter, all they need is a large field with space for 60,000 people,plus beer and T-shirt sales. So start saving up, next year there will be more shows, in UK.

Honestly Bjornulf if I may ask-
I looked up ‘Werchter’ 3-day festival 300,000 people
Do you actually enjoy these anymore?
And I don’t mean ‘at your age’ or maybe I do
I’m 50 and am fit but these massive herds of people waiting outside for hours and hours...
Not my thing.

*I meant a question of these massive long festivals- with general admission.
I read some accounts of ‘No Filter’ and.... didn't sound great for some folks
(Not the RS show itself, obviously)
Maybe I’m showing my American because SD Zip, hotel next door, tickets to my own direct seat with clear queues etc.
But it is real the fans are older now too.

I know what you mean. I feel the same. My wife and me had a long day in Lucca. were at the field at 1300 o clock and back at 0100 at our lodge.
we said to eachother, never gonna do this again. we both are 57, not THAT old, but, .... No gimme a seat with a good view, or a Pit ticket anyday.
May do the Isle of Man thing(IF they play there), but just to visit the Island and catch the Stones.

Most of the women in that town are about as attractive as the bull terrier dogs they are walking with whilst on their way to the social security office.
Jagger won't be going there end of story.

I am mentioning fields and parks because some think it takes a large stadium to make a Stones show in UK. They did a park in Hamburg - Stadpark. They played next to the wall on a grass field in Lucca. If the field is central, I am fine with a field. Both Hamburg and Lucca were great locations, while Spielberg was a nightmare travel wise. I am sure the UK tour will be great, when they have got it all sorted out.
