The recent interview with Chuck Leavell in Forbes strongly hinted at a US tour being next. That article, dated October 25, did not appear by accident. It's part of a long slow media awareness campaign. Now you have the cheerleader bits. I'm guessing it's a spring arena tour that will coincide with the album and they would rather play some new tunes in comparatively smaller arenas as April-May is not a time to be playing outdoor stadiums in most of the US.

Yeah, that would be a pretty bizarre prank. And I doubt the people that run Mile High would have kept the banner up if it was a prank

That’s a tough argument to the football fans esp. Bronco and New England who are out there December January.
It’s not cost effective to mix stadium stages and arena stages, is it?
I’m the biggest pansy when it’s cold, but I’ll get boot warmers gloves whatever
It’s gonna be a blast!

Stupid is what stupid does. I don't see the Stones being so stupid as to play outdoors in Foxboro in May.

California had shows in 2013,2015,and 2016 and special ones to boot (Echoplex, Staples Center with a 23 song set, Fonda Theatre, Desert Trip). I have no sympathy for you Californians.

It's not the crowd comfort that worries me....it's the near 80 yr old men on stage outdoors in early May. It makes me pause and wonder is all...I know there was a lot of chatter from the band about the unpredictable weather after they did the mid to late fall stadiums on second leg of bigger bang...different seasons but similar temp range.

Yes. Concern indeed, having gone to the October '06 show at Soldier Field in Chicago (one of the coldest if not THE coldest show in their career) and seeing Mick run around in a scarf and winter gloves and then getting sick in the days leading up to the Beacon shows that were shot for "Shine a Light" the following week. April/May is different than October, but sometimes only just...at least in the midwest/east!

Yes that Soldier Field show in October of 06 was freezing. As I remember the some
of the band were in coats and hats. Keith looked miserable.

Even more reason to believe they will return here - they simply love California and all it has to offer!
Women, wine, and song, not to mention the fine weather and all the great people - even the northerners! .[/quote
Careful there Eric.

I had heard rumor and it is only rumor that A Stones Tongue citing was also seen in Cleveland near the stadium on Sunday. I don't want to speculate but I am looking for some sort of evidence of it and was wondering if anyone knew anything about Cleveland.
I know they have not played there since 2003 so it could be possible.

October 2002, actually. The rumor might be because Cleveland's premier rock radio station was discussing the tongue's appearance at a stadium during a broadcast Monday, but it was in reference to the two sightings we've all heard about and not in Cleveland itself. I would love another Cleveland show (though I couldn't guarantee I would actually be in town to attend), but I rather think it won't happen. The demographics and past attendance are likely factors against it. Cleveland may have the Rock Hall, but it isn't much of a rock 'n' roll town any more.

On Facebook, someone pointed out that the Boston hotel prices being up on certain weekends may also be because of college graduations in May.
But still, just for example, take a look at hotel Renaissance Patriot Place in Foxborough, MA on the weekend of May 10 to May 12. You're looking at 1,340 USD (!!!) - non-refundable - a night, whereas the weekend before it's 236 USD a night.
The Hilton Garden Inn next door is fully booked for the May 10 thru May 12 weekend - and actually a few nights afterwards.
Wait a minute. Hilton Garden Inn? This is the Stones we’re talking about. Shouldn’t you be checking availability of the Presidential Suite at the Four Seasons?
