I'm really excited - last tour was great with Hamburg being my home town and the tour opener plus Spielberg (with mud but huge concert) and Lucca (simply beautiful); it was a great time and I have so many good memories.
I plan to do three shows with my father and a few friends, maybe Berlin, Prague and Warsaw. That will be at the end of the tour this time where they are wamed up.

Thank you to Bv for all the great work at this point! You are truely adding your not so small bit to the Rolling Stones' legacy. When I briefly met you last year I couldn't really say that as I'm a rather shy and introverted person.

A full new tour in sight with announcement in a few days, all Stones healthy and in good shape and it's 2018 - thats as good as it gets pre concert!

I wish you all the best in the next days of booking and arranging around the dates.

Is there still a chance that they will do Stuttgart on 23/6 (on the way down to Marseille) and Berlin on 30/6 (then on to CZ, PL), which seems to make more sense logistically?

It's not the resident's decision in Dublin is it? They can meet all the want but it's the council that has final say.

We might see a tour announced sans Dublin on Monday. Or with Dublin TBC.

Thats correct. Obviously there WILL be objections (there'll be people who will object to ANY concert in their neighbourhood) but its the councils who weigh it all up and make the decision on the licencing application.

Likewise with Twickenham.

And so too Murrayfield, which only hosts 2 or 3 shows a year.

Of course - same with every outdoor show - although what I was emphasising was that Croke Park and Twickenham are the only shows (that we know of) were there appears to be an issue with getting a licence approved because theyve exceeded the maximum number of shows allowed.

Murrayfield and Twickenham (and perhaps Croke Park too) are in upmarket residential areas with strong local objections and usually place a strict limit on the number of concerts that can be held there. There's never an issue with the likes of Hampden, Wembley or the Principality as they are all well used venues and a gig is just another event to add to the many so water off a duck's back to the locals.

A tour without Spain/Portugal, Netherlands/Belgium and Scandinavia. That's pretty strange. Reality or will there be one, two surprises until early next week?

Historically there was definitely a limit with the old Wembley (id assume its the same with the new one). I think it was something like 10-12 shows per year and always under the condition that there was a 10.30 curfew. Twickenham's curfew time was the same when the Stones played there (they even cut a show short in 2006 after starting late so as not to breach it!)

These things never usually come up as an issue until the agreed number of shows per year get breached, which is very rare as there arent many acts who can fill stadiums in the British Isles. I would imagine theres a limited amount of gigs for pretty much any stadium thats in a residential area - its just that it rarely tends to be an issue because there arent that many.

they had indeed - because historically when they start playing less songs per show, it rarely goes back up again.

But the first Twickenham show started later than anticipated solely because of the weather. They shortened it by one song precisely for that reason and so they could finish for 10.30. They then kept that 19-song length for the rest of the tour

PS - the Aviva Stadium would be a bit more 'upmarket' area wise than Croke!

There's been a strict 10.30 Curfew for all outdoor concerts in Greater London for several decades. Just ask Bruce Springsteen

** Croke Park Residents Complaining About Extra Gigs.. Told To Stop Whinging **
This morning on Dublin Talks we spoke to a resident from the Croke Park area who doesn't want more gigs taking place in the stadium this summer.

He wasn't expecting the response her got, however. Other listeners from the area who phoned in said its time to "stop whinging" and get on with it..

Things got a bit heated. Listen back here >>>>>>>>>>>

Sorry this may have been mentioned before but any idea of Ticket prices?

See here - but with Caution: [iorr.org] , [iorr.org] .

holy @#$%&
€320- Cat 1
€220- Cat 2
€150- Standing

Not official prices, but secondary market prices.

There'll probably be about two or three ticket prices for standing areas alone, ranging from 'hmmm, not bad' to 'you must be f***ing joking' .

And there should be Lucky Dip tickets of course, which will be the cheapest of all and most likely double figures per ticket, not treble.
