Seems odd to me too that Twickenham would still be on the schedule with earlier London gigs. If it doesn't gets scrapped, I agree that could point to two arena shows in May - or maybe one at O2 and one at London stadium?
It's barely feasible - the Stones as well as the other artist need some hours to build-up / dismantle the stage. Only one day is too short ....
They played Prague in 1990, 1995, 1998 and 2003.
Unless they take a week off somewhere (unlikely), we're probably looking at Dublin, followed by nine UK dates and five on the continent, going by that May 17 - July 7 timeframe. So - 15 shows.
With 4 second round games taking place in the World Cup over the June 30/July 1 maybe theyre hedging their bets and figuring out which countries are unlikely to be playing around then!
I dont think it'll be any less than 14 gigs.
Yep. And the first visit (in what was then 'communist' Czechoslovakia) was a pretty historic event at the time
video: [www.ceskatelevize.cz]
I agree Gaz.
Between Marseilles and Prague should be Lisbon, I hope so!
They're NOT playing Prague so it doesn't matter!
something changed?
What about the Maifeld in Berlin?
I imagine they could hold more than inside Olympiastadion?
Anyone seen any shows at the Maifeld? I think Pink Floyd played there years ago...
Trying to be patient waiting for the official announcement, but Thanx to BV for all the info, as always!!
Thanks for the pics laughinearlydied - WOW that is MASSIVE!
I think most everyone would agree about preferring arenas and stadiums vs. something this massive, but then again sometimes these settings can be really fun and memorable.
Depends on weather, the convenience of getting in and out, and the overall logistics. Hoping the rumour soon becomes fact for those who want to attend!

Maifeld in Berlin is a large open-air field near the Olympiastadion and the Waldbuhne and can hold 250,000 people in it for festivals like rock concerts.
Thanks for that!
Great sound.. nice to relive.

Prague - another beautiful city - don't recall it being rumoured/mentioned before today.
When was the last time they played there?

My thoughts exactly, Gazza. Strange there would be no show the first weekend into the tour.
Also, the May 25 in London scenario means Edinburgh cannot be on that weekend as speculated earlier. Maybe Edinburgh is the midweek show the week after?
There is room for three shows between Manchester #2 (5th June) and London (19th June).
Two of those shows are likely to be on weekends. For me, that window is the most likely scenario for the rumoured cities (Southampton, Edinburgh etc) outside London.
I also find it a bit odd that the first Manchester date is scheduled for a Saturday with the second one being on a Tuesday. For ticket sales, its much easier to shift tickets if the additional show is on the weekend.
Its also a bit weird to have two different stadiums used for London. If theyre going to stage three stadium shows in the city, why not have them consecutively at the same venue? From what I can see, the London Stadium is free for that last third of May. Would make more sense to have all the gigs there and just scrap Twickenham completely. But with seemingly no weekend gigs at all in London, that makes me wonder if they may do something in an arena as well as Twickenham.
Seems odd to me too that Twickenham would still be on the schedule with earlier London gigs. If it doesn't gets scrapped, I agree that could point to two arena shows in May - or maybe one at O2 and one at London stadium?

I don't think an event on June 24 would prevent the the Stones from there on June 23.

All great news!
But given the history of the band and the prestige of the venue, I’m surprised the Stones aren’t playing Wembley Stadium. (Yes I know it’s not the same one the Stones called home from 1982-1999, but wenever Stones staidum shows and London come to mind, it’s Wembley, not Twickenham, that people think of).

Still some gaps on the rumored schedule in the UK portion and between Marseilles and Prague, so maybe another show or two to be added?

If every gap was filled it would be 17 shows, right? I guess they'll take a week off once in a while because they don't do more than 14 shows in a row, I've heard somebody say on here.

Being that St Mary's stadium in Southampton only seats 30,000, might be the choice location as far as "intimacy" goes.
Compare to Old Trafford stadium in Manchester which is double the capacity at 60,000, and Croke Park in Dublin which is almost three times the capacity at a whopping 80,000.
Letnany field in Prague is also at 80,000...I assume this is sprawling open space outdoor venue?

Guys, Waldbühne or Wuhlheide in Berlin are most likely out of question - not only Stones charge more now than in 2014, but also big No Filter/No Stopping stage with 4 giant screens wouldn´t fit on small amphiteatre stage. This tour is supposed to hit stadiums or open air areas, not small places, I´m afraid...

prague is really awesome, but it is a shame that it wont be letna. it would be better than the letnany airport, but cool anyway!
it is on a metro line, so accesible, but a bit slow to get out.
other than that, just a huge field, nothing unusual.

Huge field sounds like mug from Spielberg to me 
I hope to be in Prague and Warsaw. You know, year ago I thought that I will never see the Stones live. Saw them by the first time in Spielberg and right now there is a chance that I will see them two times in one week! I can't believe. I am waiting for official announcement and think to go for a rehab from iorr.org

i dont really like fields much, i find arenas and stadiums more comfortable and ... somewhat more compact than the wide field. plus this really is a field, so pray for a good weather.
this is how it looks like
sometimes there is seating on the sides, which i figure will be the case with stones

Really hope to see more billboards,signs etc. tomorrow and the upcoming days leading up to the announcement. When they utilized this type of marketing for Zip Code,all the cities(-Hollywood) were known prior to the announcement..Not dates, but locations. Either way, so excited to be able to make any of these shows!!!

So throwing this out there. I will be coming over from California from about June 30 to July 16 for the Roger Water, Eric Clapton and Paul Simon Hyde Park shows plus any Stones shows during that time frame (hopefully). I am a long time taper (search my name on here or Google) and will be looking for any and all help especially with securing a field/pit ticket and accommodations. Willing to pay for all but having help will make my life easier. What's in it for you will be immediate copies of the recordings since mine won't be shared until I am back home in California.
Here is one example of my work for those who do not have it.

btw it is the plain fields on the sides of the airport, not in the airport itself.
but still, a big field.
also czech people are kind of similar to germans, so the middle of the crowd is very often "dead", in a stadium its a better atmosphere.
then again, warm evening, sort of festival feel with a lot of beer and some friends... hope it is going to happen.
also looking forward to germany and poland. but i would really like to see them in london.
