I think if the tour starts in NJ or Chicago it will definitely be the original dates. The worst thing for any fan would be (no matter of living locally or travelling from abroad) to miss out on the concert because of 1-2 weeks, which would be the case if they play NJ or Chicago in early July.
This could be the reason why Philly is now slated for late July as well, as they could head West (or wherever) first and than return East, making it almost two months after the original date.
Of course this could be complete nonsense as well... just announce something!
Conversely, many fans have now made other plans for the original dates and IMO it would be extremely lame and disrespectful of the fan base to play any shows on the original dates. This is prime time summer weekends and folks move on when you tell them something is “postponed.” Words mean things, and in this case postponed means not on the original date.
Completely disagree. We’re coming over from the UK. Flights and hotels not changeable. It’s a one off for us and I suspect, many others. We’ve kept our tickets just in case and it would be hugely frustrating if they were able to play those dates and didn’t.

Yes, keeping the original dates for New Jersey and Chicago would be extraordinary good news.
The only thing for me would be finding tickets. I will be in each city at initial show dates, but i have no tickets...

Do you really think they're going to cancel the Cirque du Soleil shows?

Apparently CdS is not inside the stadium but on the parking lot and was scheduled for that even before the postponement. Also on the 21st they have have on show only which is at 4.30pm.

Correct. That show is running from May 18-July 6. The parking lots will be very full though. The big top alone is the size of a football field, plus other tents, plus their 70 trucks, etc. Assume they will put this on the south lot but don't know. Add in the Stones 70 plus trucks etc etc and all of the sudden parking becomes very crowded.

An announcement of dates is expected this week or next week. There have been talks about starting the tour with the Chicago dates, i.e starting June 21. Some rumours have talked about starting 2-3 shows before that, i.e. NJ or even the Boston date, but as the announcement is taking time, and they need time for rehearsals, this is a long shot, even if it is still possible.

These Cirque shows are a non-issue in Chicago.
This scheduling was not, is not and will not be a problem.
From the website:
"The Grand Chapiteau (Big Top)
The Grand Chapiteau seats over 2,500 spectators per performance.
The Grand Chapiteau is a temporary structure which is supported by four masts. All seats are cushioned with backs."
I do believe that THE ROLLING STONES would take priority

It would be so nice if they could start at least in NJ. It seems NJ shows are the ones most fans from abroad are aiming at.

It dawned on me that the L.A., Glendale, and/or Santa Clara shows could be rescheduled to dates while I'm still in Chicago with my wife until July 5th.
Always something new for me to worry about......and if that happens, oh well, but certainly hoping it doesn't!!!
I could survive without Glendale and Santa Clara, but Pasadena...GRRR...haven't missed an L.A. area tour since 1981!!!

I'd think those shows would be later in July than that if they start in Late June. California will hopefully be late July/very early August.
