Isn't it relatively cold in Ireland in mid May? On the other hand I know they played some very "cold Open Airs" in 2006. But now they're 11 years older. I also cannot imagine they play a very big stadium in a small country weekdays.
right, it was f**king cold (and rainy) in Hamburg as well as in Munich – they should learn from this expericence

Let's ask Officer Mrs Fiona Jones if she can speed things up a little.
Not really. Its not exactly cold as in 'Soldier Field late October-cold'. Might be a bit windy at worst, but could more easily be quite pleasant.
I've been to plenty of outdoor shows in Dublin in mid to late May (mostly Springsteen) and its never been a problem.
The advantage over Slane in 2007 is that its in a city with great accommodation and transport links in a stadium with lots of seats as opposed to a muddy field in a village in the countryside.
They could sell well if they dont overprice it. There are a lot of 'event junkies' in Ireland who would go to any 'major' show as an excuse for a day or night out. Whether they'd do it if they were being asked to pay £150-200 for a half decent ticket is another matter though.
Aviva Stadium is a much better place for a stadium show and less hassle for the promoters in terms of organising a concert - but no doubt both the promoters and band would be more swayed if they can hold it somewhere that can accommodate 30,000 more people.

I'd be amazed if the Stones chose to play Twickenham again instead of Wembley, now that the opportunity is finally there to play the latter for the first time since it was rebuilt. Especially seeing as its highly likely it'll be their last chance to do so.
I dont know how many shows Wembley is allowed to stage per year but it used to be about 10-12 - either way its bound to be far more than is permitted for Twickenham. Theres no real need to apply for a special licence if they play Wembley.

dont think the stones will play a show on a thursday and that early in May??
17th May
Why not? They cant play every show at the weekend.
Granted, an 82,000 seat stadium is a hard sell at the best of times and more so on a week night but as they only play two shows a week these days one of them has to be mid-week.
Its an awful venue for a show though unless youre on the pitch. If youre high up in those stands you'll probably hear the show three times.

You mean things like Zurich. Yeah that wasn't very warm, but it wasn't to be expected. In 2003 the Zurich show was even later in the year, but it was far over 20 C degrees.

"One additional concert", the application states. City bylaws allow 3 concerts a year and the venue is applying for another one. We know for a fact that Eminem is performing two shows in July. The math adds up: 2 Eminem concerts + 2 Stones concerts = 4 total.
Now we're talking!

Either way it's interesting the stadium denies having applied "for any increase in capacity for our summer concerts" while they clearly seem to have done just that.

Knebworth tickets go on sale tomorrow! It has announce some bands and just says others to be announced. I wonder how much the tickets will be and if it will be possible to get tickets later? Ideas anyone?
My first ever Stones concert was Knebworth '76!

I can't see the Stones associating themselves with that festival at Knebworth.
To say the lineup is dreadful is a huge understatement.

I hope it's not the 19/23 because I have tickets to see Pearl Jam on the 19th.....and I need to go to both London shows!!
But it seems pretty plausible. A Tuesday show followed by a Saturday show is how they do it these days.....
I think Knebworth is likely too.
So:
If we say 2 Twickenham shows, 1 Knebworth, 1 Dublin, 1 Cardiff, 1 Manchester, 1 Scotland, plus say 3 shows in Europe gives 10 shows, over 6 weeks, from Late May to mid July. Sounds pretty plausible to me...

For me it makes sense, the days in Twickenham. 4 days between the 2 shows. One is a Saturday....so it looks like End of May till end of July :-)

Woohoo - finally this seems like a solid bit of evidence.
So based on the tweet it seems that the rolling stones will play Twickenham on the 19th and 23rd June but....
The thing that puzzles me is if the stones embark on a late-May to early-July tour that would put the London dates in the middle?? Or if do a tour from mid-jun to late-July/early-August that would put the London dates at the start?
What are people's thoughts on this? I thought the London gigs would be at the end of the tour but June seems too early for the end of the tour...

If UK shows go from May thru July, I'll have to pick a 2 week period for me to travel. Will try to figure out which shows I will have to best chance of scoring the best tickets.
