England's three World Cup group games are June 18,24 & 28 - so no fixture clash with football for this tour if those dates are accurate!

If there are, they'll hopefully have the foresight to have shows pencilled in for the rest of the British Isles during that time frame!

Mick doesn't want to be touring during the final matches I guess.

Great find. Thanks!

If you read the whole tweet you will notice that the list shown is FAKE !!

Why? Because of the name of the tweeter, and the topics he/she is covering
(Twickerman - naked ladies etc.)?

No, because the official RFU tweet says so

"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!

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.

They have had other opportunities to play Wembley which re opened in 2007. It is an awful venue for concerts. Too large and vacuous with terrible sound.

Of course the official RFU tweets are going to deny everything at this point. They even denied (yesterday, on Twitter) having applied for additional concert capacity - despite having made the application more than a month earlier.

RS Inc. doesn't want anything official out there just yet.

There is precedent with the World Cup schedule - in 2014, the tour started in late May and ended at the beginning of July. Maybe similar timing this year?

"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

I have been told that the new Wembley stadium is no good for sound. Anyway I have great memories from Twichenham last time around, and they make good money with chairs all overv the field.

Hotel prices are ramping up both in Dublin and the Twickenham area, so this will be "No Filter" hotel prices one more time, for those who book late.

I have booked a cancellable Premier Inn at Richmond for both nights. There are Premier Inns even closer to the stadium in Twickenham. Also at Chiswick, Brentford, Kingston upon Thames, Wimbledon...

Only in 2013 as its the only summer that theyve played dates in the UK since then.

I've heard similar complaints about the sound in the new stadium, although as we've seen with Amsterdam, a stadium's reputation for poor sound isnt something which tends to deter them when choosing a venue.

You’re gonna get a 4 hour show at the Twick,
no exit will be quick.
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie
the people will yell.

‘Watched my taillights fading, there ain't a dry eye in the house
They're laughing and singing
Started dancing and drinking as I left town
Gonna find my way to heaven, 'cause I did my time in hell oh yeah
I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well’

P.S.
I always think the current tour is the last, the last show is the last.
Ask my family, who now roll their eyes at me every time I say it.
Still... thank God they never do say ‘it’ or I do think it will be a big cry-fest. Or is that just me (and yes, I am a girl/female)

I doubt that they don't do Wembley because of the bad sound. Why would they book the horrible Amsterdam Arena then for 20 years? Also other stadiums last year had bad acoustics judging from the poor recordings.

As far as Dublin goes, the hotel prices there are the second most expensive in all of Europe to begin with (only your hometown of Oslo is more expensive!). It's probably not so much as them jacking up the prices yet, if you compare the week of May 17 to the week before the prices are roughly at the same level.

For now

Also, it appears Ed Sheeran is playing three dates in Dublin (Phoenix Park) that same week (the 16th, the 18th and the 19th) Good luck getting accommodation!

So it’s taken 43 pages to get the first credible rumour - hooray

But er ...... is it 'credible' ?

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

The powers that be are not denying it!

Please no. Twickenham is a nightmare to get back from and the sound was terrible.

Not if you live where I do, it's a pleasant stroll TO and an equally pleasant stroll FROM !!

Sound will be great (in the pit) ....

More credible at least than some of the more fanciful speculations in this thread!

Wembley is horrible. I saw AC/DC there a couple of years ago and thought it was terrible. A couple of days later I saw them in Belgium: absolutely fantastic. Exactly the same show.

I heard that the sound in the Amsterdam Arena was alright on the No Filter. I wouldn’t know because of my pit tickets.

Yeah, fields have a good sound. I know Werchter from June 1995. Maybe they improved the sound of the ArenA after 1998. But I think it's still not perfect. The Amsterdam release from the Licks Tour is one of the worst available on pressed CDs.

The only stadium i have experienced better sound than on a field is the Stade the France. Hope they play good venues.

Booked in the premier inn twickenham on a Pay Later basis, just in case!
