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.

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

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

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?

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.

They're NOT playing Prague so it doesn't matter!

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...

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

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!!
