When they worked on the European Tour 2017 I got rumoured shows for months about most of the locations they visited during the No Filter Tour, plus many others they never visited, like Venice and so on. Then the tour got postponed, and they built another tour with some of the same rumours coming in one more time.
As spring is getting closer I am sure we will see cities bidding against each others, and the best bidders i.e. those with local politicians who see the value of the Stones will approve and support. Approval is needed because some times they want to playe a place or a venue that isn't really approved in general. Support is often paying cash like a sponship, they get it back tenfold or more though the city invaded by traveling fans. Spain have got shows like that many years, like El Ejido, Malaga, Vigo, Benidorm and so on, and I am sure the same applies for the coming tour.
I am sure there will be shows in both England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. It will probably be the greatest UK tour since 1990, when they did 10 shows in UK, I stayed in UK three weeks that summer, and returned in August for the delayed Wembley shows. I don't know why they didn't play Ireland then, but later on Dublin has been there several times, a must these days.

...I think Belfast could do with a show as well as Dublin this time. Lets make it a full British Isles Tour.

They barely sold 5,000 tickets for the show scheduled for Lansdowne Road on 16/7/90. They had actually taken an option on a second show on the 17th subject to ticket demand. The show was officially cancelled due to logistical reasons - the excuse being they wouldnt have been able to ship their equipment to Dublin in time. Even Ronnie made a wisecrack at the feeble excuse for the cancellation when he played his solo show at Vicar Street in 2001 (I think that may have been the first time I met you, in fact)
In the end they were able to use that free date for the rescheduled Cardiff show.
Ireland were in the World Cup in Italy that summer and ticket sales were generally very poor for stadium shows for all acts (Prince cancelled one as well), as they were in other countries. The Stones tend to struggle to compete with a World Cup being held in Europe when theyre touring the continent at the same time (see 1998 and 2006)
Theyve only played Dublin on one tour since (2003) although they did play Slane Castle in 2007.

I believe they don't make so much money as usual with just one stadium show in Ireland, because of the high logistical costs. That's why they didn't even try it most of the times. In Rome, tickets sold relative poorly as well, but there were even two shows happening.

Not really, no. Havent seen the Stones since Berlin 2014, which was my 50th show and which I thought was a terrific gig at a wonderful venue. Figured that'd be a nice way to end it on a high.
Havent really had much inclination to change that since then based on what Ive heard but if they played the UK in 2018 I'd probably do another show depending on affordability, type of venue etc (I'm disinterested in enormous gigs in fields and places like that)
