As always during the past 30 years, in 2018 they will play in the purple or deep purple spots.

With all the gossip, questions and attempts to understand their touring logic, this map of europe's population density clarifies a lot.
As always duri.g the past 30 years, in 2018 they will play in the purple or deep purple spots. They are like a vacuum cleaner
I am glad I live in the major purple spot of Europe.

The map is very interesting. It helps a lot for understanding why they play where they play. But I'm living in one of the purple spots where they never play (Dresden area, the biggest German town they never did) which might have something to do with the failure of the local promotors. (Or with PEGIDA? But I don't think so.) It's not so easy anyway. Looking at the map you would not only expect one show ever in Romania for instance; and you wouldn't expect a show in Estonia. It also has to do with - income of the inhabitants in a region.

this map indicating the buying power per person is maybe even more important (and it provides an answer to the Dresden question)

Just curious, When the Stones play in the former soviet block countries, what percentage of the fans are from Western Europe (or other places), considering the economy. I know they charged less for tickets at some locations.

To get vaguely back on topic here ........ I'm currently having an adult gap year teaching English in Poland, but this is just to say that an increasing number of my students (who know full well I'm a huge Stones fan - cos' I often play youtube clips to them etc) have mentioned to me in recent days that they're reading stuff in the Polish music press about a Stones concert in Poland in the summer !!
So perhaps this 'rumour' is gaining strength a little ?
Yes, this is rumour which was said even in TV. Here in Poland there is such a big 'desire' for The Rolling Stones. I can't imagine selling tickets for this concert. It would be like for 2012 London gigs.

With all the buzz about a Poland show, "Blue and Lonesome" went all the way to #6 on the latest Polish album chart:

From juicemaker's post on this thread, page 32:
"I got this info from a trusted source....the two shows in Germany will be in Stuttgart and Berlin (football stadiums each) in June. Apart from the UK dates, they will also play a few shows in East Europe. Official announcement soon"

Iceland would be a natural stop on the next tour. It is a missing link in their touring list through the history. There are some 330,000 people living in Iceland, more than half of them live in or near Reykjavík. Virtually every person age 12 to 70+ in the area would be at the show. Me too..

The Icelanders have the necessary $ but they are too few. In many countries it's the other way around ;-)
