He gives information 1-2 months before the announcement usually - the time various towns "fight" for 2-3 gigs. Announcement might be not before March.

last time.

...Well if they are indeed planning some Australian dates it would make sense to play North American dates first as it breaks up the flying time...

I am very happy that the UK is going to get a small tour next year. Ya'all do get short handed at times and I am very glad you are finally getting another ample chance to catch a series of shows in your area.



I want to ask .. is there / are there any word on a tour in the US. You would think with the release of an album this would be the gist of things.

A late spring / early summer tour of the UK and then a fall tour of the US would be so called for.

Any word on that?

Rumours of Australian dates abound Ian: Stones in OZ late summer 2018

By the way Ian, I always assumed you were from England, yet your post above gives the impression you're from somewhere else?

Howdy. No .. the name 'Ian' is English (Scottish) ... but actually I am in the U.S. ... (Ohio).


This would perhaps mark the first time since 1973 ... Goats Head Soup that The Stones will release a studio album without it's headlining tour (/world) starting first in the states .. Am I wrong there?

Like Ian Anderson (musician) and Ian Botham (cricketer) among others...anyhow, greetings from California.

You seem to be quite sure that the supposed new album will be released before or will coincide the UK tour - what is your reasoning behind this?!!!

There will be NO new album before the 18 tour I'm pretty sure. And if I'm wrong they won't play more than 2-3 songs off it.

I would tend to agree with this...I'm thinking new album in '19 at the earliest, but time will tell.

Lol .. it BETTER not be in 2019! ... I mean if that's the case I'm throwing in the towel mate. Im not sure the album will come out before the UK tour. I expect it by early fall either way.

I used to live in California as well .. Van Nuys and then Granada Hills .. 2006-2008

I hope it's sooner rather than later, but it's really hard to pinpoint anything based on what little we really know. That said, NEVER throw in the towel!!!

I went to Cal State Northridge for graduate school way back when - right next to Granada Hills.
You might be familiar with A & W Seafood Restaurant - really great Chinese food!

Anyhow, don't want to clog up this thread with mysterious new album news or Chinese food memories!

Anxious to hear any snippets of news and/or rumours regarding the upcoming UK tour...I thought the deal was as good as done!
But as long as they're touring and alive and well, and whether there's a new album or not, life is good with the Rolling Stones....55 years an counting...

Wha...!!!!! Don’t tease me! Source, please and thank you. Nothing else in my world can be planned until the stoopid 2018 tour schedule is sorted.

What's stoopid about it?

Because they haven't announced it?

If I heard we would have to wait until 2019 for the new album .. it would be the Guns N roses Chinese Democracy thing .. After a while.. you quit caring so much. Sure.. Id still grab it as soon as it came out but at that point it would be too late to get crazy over.

Chinese Democracy went well beyond the 'not caring' mind set.. I (and everyone else) simply said.. Guess what... I dont want to hear about it. Just dont release it ... Im done.


Finally when they did it was a good album but it was like... what .. a good 8 or 9 years far too late .. It didnt matter .. no matter how bloody good it was.
