I think they mainly wanna play here because many Thousands of people can afford tickets for 300 Euro. Not because they especially love the Dutch.

I always thought it was because Keith likes to smoke alot of weed!
Now that recreational use of pot is fully legal in California (beginning Jan 1st you can walk in to a store and buy) maybe he'll pay a visit here more often - with or without the Stones.
It's already legal in several other states, with several others about to follow suit.
But Keith probably has a prescription for medical marijuana for his head which is legal in most states and has been for quite awhile (legal in California since 1996 and Connecticut since 2012).
Anyhow, since there's no new album in sight according to Don Was, can the UK expect the same or similar setlists to the No Filter Tour? Will Dancing with Mr. D be the most talked about again?
Will they still play blues covers? Will the newest original songs played be over 20 years old? Same prices or higher? Will they play at least one theater/club gig? Same stage? Will they be the best shows ever?!!!

Rumors include a big show at 11 july in holland. Also there is no date (14th july is rumoured) for the werchter classic festival. This is the same festival the Stones played a few times.
I have no clue if it will happen, rumors are everywhere and i am definitly no insider or whatsoever.

Do people really believe that they will play shows in Australia,Canada,USA and the UK all next year.
I realise people have hopes but you have to be realistic.

Not a chance in hell. The logistics of moving stages and crew around and Tour Economics mean that it’s not cost effective to move all their stuff half way around the World for 1 or 2 shows. The strong rumour is a British Isles Tour and at a push, a show or 2 in nearby continental Europe e.g Belgium. Their days of mini tours of more than 1 continent in a calendar year are at an end. These guys are now 10 years past State Retirement age.

Why should they choose Belgium as the only continental show? They've been there four years earlier and in 2017 they were not in Belgium, but there were many shows some 100 km around. Wouldn't make a show in Budapest or Zagreb much more sense?

I merely quoted Belgium as an example as it’s nearby and wasn’t visited in 2017. Budapest or Zagreb would be nice and I would go, but it all comes down to money and I’m not convinced these cities could withstand 2018 ticket prices.

You mean they tour because of the money?? Ha ha ha. Maybe in fall 2020 we had 50 or more European shows incl. UK from 2012-20 and none of them was behind the former Iron Curtain. There was indeed a rumour about Werchter 2018 and also Holland I think (Nijmegen?).

Because they won't play only UK probably.
Also I don't think 2018 is the last touring year. The best times are long gone, but they're still too fit ... and not rich enough.

I mostly agree, except they do seem to be rich enough. However, I think the stones will keep going as long as they are healthy enough to do so and are able to somehow convince Charlie to come along. As stated before: probably just one tour per year and at least three days in between each show. A couple surprises in the setlist but the bulk will be the usual. Not grim at all if you consider what we will be faced with in a few years or less. The other possibility is the UK tour is the last. Ending where it began does make a compelling and convenient ending to the stones story.

I think it'll finish in London, but 2021/22, not 2018.

Unfortunately no Stones on Werchter...
[m.hln.be]
To be short: in this interview with someone of the organisation of TW Classic, the strong rumor of the Stones headlining this 1 day festival, is denied.
