Does anyone know if an East coast U.S. tour is in the cards for 2018? I'm flying to Paris to see the Stones on Oct. 22 but I'd love to take my kids to see them closer to home in New York City!
Thanks!
How about Western Canada/ Pacific Northwest?!!!
the Fraser Valley!

I look at Paul McCartney and he's touring more now than he ever has. Roger Waters is touring a lot, too. They're both similar in age to the Stones.

Thank you, finally someone else who doesn't look at the Stones and think they're about to keel over immediately and that every short tour is going to be the Dramatic Last Stand. There are many performers in that age group and older who tour constantly.

Has Paul aged the way Keith has?Quote

True, AQ. Do the people on the McCartney boards constantly fret about his imminent demise?
Note, though, that the Stones have 4 moving parts to get into alignment before they can do anything. Roger and Paul don't have to worry about that. (And Rog doesn't have a helluva lot to do on stage.)

My last Stones show was Buffalo 2015 and I want to remember them for pulling off what I considered to be a great, solid performance that night. Personally, I am scared that if they return to the US (and without an album of new material) and play a sub-par show that I happen to attend, I will be very sad.

I have heard they will return to Europe, after the UK gigs, for more shows. USA has had their share, so sorry baby.

It's hard to imagine them doing stadium rock shows for much longer. But will they, as Bill Wyman once predicted, wind up sitting on stools and playing blues songs? I can see them at age 80 doing that.

What about a South American tour in 2018?
Just dreaming of course, but it would be great to see them here again sometime.

Why would they go back to Europe when they can't even sell out all the current tickets?
I think your just daydreaming and being cynical - unless you can provide a source?
After the UK, they'll probably go back to South America, and from there back to the US.
They love it in the US, they can charge more for tickets, and there's many more options available as far as venues!

Not sure if they have a ending date in mind, but if they do tour the U.K. next
year, they will have come “full circle”. This might be tempting to end it where
they started.

...Take four months off and then have have an early Spring tour in the UK of about 10 dates and then one last show televised world-wide and then hang up the guitars.
Call it quits on the 50th anniversary of the release of the Jumpin' Jack Flash single? The 24th of May 2018.

...however, if any finale was planned it would take place in the UK, that's for sure.

Interesting Sighunt and I can relate to your dilemma.
I had a great time seeing the Stones at the two Desert Trip shows - especially weekend two - and I recall saying that I wasn't sure if I want to see them again as it would be hard to top that experience.
Well I took a gamble, and spur of the moment saw them in Vegas with my wife the following week. We happened to be in Vegas for her birthday and as a surprise I bought two heavily discounted tickets the day of show via stubhub. Great floor seats, and was ecstatic to be in the building, but then it kind of went downhill from there. Mick was still very sick after the cancelled show, and the setlist was abbreviated down to 18 songs. He held back singing, didn't have all of his signature moves, he lacked energy, and he simply wasn't himself. Thankfully the backup singers and the rest of the band filled the void, but it was still a far cry from being a great show imo. Can't blame Mick for trying though, but maybe they should have cancelled that as well due to the circumstances. So that's the memory I have of the last time I saw the Stones, but try to forget it and consider Desert Trip II the last time I saw them. I now tack on an asterisk to the *Vegas show whenever I mention it as it was somewhat tainted, and is a blemish on my list of the many Stones shows I've seen throughout the years.
*Indicates short setlist and Mick being sick.
