According the newspaper "Rzeczpospolita" the Stones will be in Poland in june '18
[www.rp.pl]

[Translation]:"As we learn from well-informed sources, the game enters the show in June. Also, the British media have reported that the band Mick Jagger and Keith Richards perform in England, as well as on the mainland stadiums. At the same time the British fans Jagger apologized for the fact that there was a chance to play this year under the banner "No Filter Tour"."

As I expected: they seem to plan a 6-7 date tour in mainland Europe to make the 6-7 date UK tour possible. They would get many critical media comments if not at least one show in the decade would be in Eastern Europe. That's the only reason they might do one or two shows in Poland, Prague or Budapest, former Yugoslavia.
But it is still a rumour; Warsaw is rumoured nearly every year and then almost never gets a show.

Best news I've heard all year (2017), and if or when it's confirmed - it'll be the best news I will probably have heard in 2018. Especially as I'm currently living/working here in Poland ...

I know Warsaw well and would go to the show on 1 condition: The gig does NOT take place at the Stadion Narodowy. Fine Modern Stadium as it is, I'm told by my Warsaw friend that concert acoustics there are an absolute car crash, so bad that you sometimes can't tell what song's being played.

Is it also bad at the Fos,pit area?

Count me in!!

This journalist writes a lot of bull so take it with a grain of salt. This article does not even seem to be written in proper Polish. If it happens and I hope it will, it might be one of the festivals. There is Warsaw Orange Festival and Open'er Festival in Gdynia. For the latter it would be the first time I would not need to travel to a Stones concert.

I was there on the pitch at McCartney's gig and it wasn't so bad. However, people on seating areas were complaining

My friend was at that show on the floor and said the sound was awful where he stood. Open'er in Gdansk would be a fantastic choice, or even the Stadion Slaski, finally ready after years of delays, having already hosted the Stones on BtB in 1998 - an excellent show which I attended.

Gdansk? Warsaw or Chorzow will get the show I think (if there is one).

I was at AC/DC concert on National Stadium in Warsaw and it was the worst sounding gig I have ever been. But I think that there is a great chance to see them in Chorzów (standing place is bigger and there is more seats). And about this article - RP.pl 'Rzeczpospolita' is not a junkie tabloid but opinion-forming daily magazine. So something maybe is happening. We will know - maybe - in March?

This thread has moved to 'sticky' status- that's usually a good sign!

Gdynia would be great. Visited it last summer and I would be more than happy to get back there for a Stones gig!

I think it's because Ronnie is scheduled for some interview(-s?) on BBC etc. - he usually spills the beans; so probably BV reckons that'll be as good as any official announcement...

As I get older and hear the way people say things in a different context I'm starting to think that, just as with how people say "the Lower 48" when there is no "Upper 48" since "Lower 48" implies there are 48 "upper" states (how come no one ever says "It's going to snow in downstate New York?), "the Stones just keep going, man" is a bit... much. I think people like the idea of it more than understanding it. My dad says 'The Stones, they're still kicking ass' - yet he has no idea what they've been doing, he just sees something on Google News or whatever and wow, man, they're still going.

They're no where near hitting the road, they just fly around for a little while. Especially not in 2008-2011. That's 4 years, without throwing in the end of '007 and the front portion of '012.

Taking so much time off is not relative to "keeping going", really. Look at Bob Dylan. Or Willie Nelson. BB King kept going and he was 300 years old and didn't take such big breaks.

And, with all that time the Stones had off, no new album has come about...

I get it, how the Stones "keep going". I just laugh about it a bit.

I don’t want to be a wet blanket, but here is my honest opinion.

On Ronnie’s Christmas greeting video, he said:
We just don’t know what 2018 is going to bring.

I took his heartfelt, meaningful message implied
The RS are waiting and seeing.
I have a feeling nothing is signed.

Great news for those in Poland!

I think Ronnie has aged very much during the last 2-3 years. Hope there isn't something serious upcoming..

It just means that Ronnie doesn't know anything. But does an employee always know a company's future plans?

Steady, it's not news yet so don't get too excited. Only a rumour so far, fuelled by a newspaper article. Loads of gig rumours in all sorts of places have come to nothing in times past!

Indeed grzegorz67, but officially published rumours are better than no rumours at all!

No, it means he's learned to keep his mouth shut after his boss, Mick Jagger, got pissy at him.

According to polish music journalist Piotr Metz from Polish Radio 3 (which is very reliable source) Stones will play in Poland in 2018. Probably it will be National Stadium in Warsaw. The capacity of the stadium is about 72000 for concerts.
This is bad news - the sound there is awful. Anyway it seems like it's going to happen.

I thought he was the source.
Not sure when we talked about it exactly but didn't he have the same kind of info in 2014 which resulted in nothing?
Probably some company is bidding but I'm afraid that's all at the moment

Yeahh but i think Metz wouldn't say it on air if he wasn't sure
