This can only mean that they plan to tour the new album in the US first, surely?
Excellent point Dandy..
It would seem highly likely that would be the case

In Kansas City on the Zip Code Tour there were Thousands of tickets available a few days before the show. Floor seats a few rows back were like cheeeeeaaaaaap.
I don't think KC would be an option this time around.
They can do a few repeat markets too.
LA new stadium is already booking acts - Kenny Chesney and Taylor Swift. As of now the stadium is it's own draw and also the Rose Bowl didn't quite satisfy demand and I thought it was odd NJ and Chicago got 2 but LA only got 1.
Also the new Las Vegas stadium is going to be finished on 7/31. This would make a great opening.
NYC could get more.
Then a few in Canada.
Might even be able to swing Mexico into the NA leg this time.
Eastern Canada (Halifax or Moncton or Quebec City)
Hartford, CT or State College, PA (huge stadium, wanted Stones in 2015)
NYC x 2 (Maybe the other stadium)
southern show (Charlotte/Atlanta/SC)
midwest (Detroit/ST Louis maybe even Notre Dame stadium)
a few more in Canada (Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, Vancouver)
LA
Las Vegas
Dallas
Mexico City x 2

USA makes very easy logistically.
With 32 NFL football teams and 31 stadiums (NY teams share) going down to 30 next year (Los Angeles teams will share) (guessing they do not play la stadium) and taking out the 13 stadiums toured this year you have 16 possible + Jazz Fest makes 17

No list is complete without Los Angeles (or somewhere in SoCal) - San Diego would be a nice option.
The Rose Bowl show was probably the best seller of all the recent NoFilter shows, so no doubt the demand is here!

I was at the premiere of Ronnie Woods documentary in London on Saturday night and whilst there I did hear the same rumours about possibly returning to the states next year instead of Asia and Australia the reason given was the lack of big enough stadiums and the fact that they pulled in 20 million each from this years tour.

20 million each .... that's the real reason.
The lack of big enough stadiums (Asia, Oceania) could be right: while the US-Tour 2019 had average 50,000 seats - [iorr.org] - the Australian venues (except Adelaide) were in 2014 with average 15,000 seats rather small. Even for the (twice cancelled) 'Hanging Rock' Festival site were only 20,000 seats planned. Macau, Shanghai and Singapore had in 2014 combined only 26,000 seats - [iorr.org] .

New Zealand (36.000) and Japan (3x 49.000) weren't bad at all. If they would do 5 shows in Japan, they can also live happily ever after
Adding a "first time ever" visit to South Korea could be attractive too.
Ah, and that's all for Springtime. With a relaxed Summer holiday in between, they could then reserve Autumn for North America again. I would drink to that

gregorz67--I wouldn't read anything into where they go. In my view they will never announce "this is it" and won't stop until they have to due to death or infirmity. And that will just happen naturally unfortunately, as opposed to them saying "this is it". I don't think they will ever say that.

Tour the new album? What new album?!!!! You guys are putting the cart before the horse!
Be prepared for a continuation of the standard NoFilter shows (which were great), but if there is a new album I'll jump for joy - even though they'd probably only play one or two tunes from it.

I agree that they'll never actually say "This is it". They never have. The Who on the other hand....
But I do think they'll want to end it in London so finishing there after a tour mostly elsewhere gives them that option as an 'insurance' so to speak.

This morning on my way to work at 0555 EDT, the woman on Sirius Classic Vinyl said she's hearing rumblings of The Stones returning to the New Orleans Jazz Festival...
Perhaps some of our fellow IORRians also heard this on an early commute?

Maybe so, but I was there and the stadium was totally full at show time. Hoping they go to the east side the state this time tho for Chuck's home town.

It's a shame if this is the reason. And erroneous. They played a few ARENAS in Australia last time round....But here are some STADIUMS in OZ
ANZ Stadium Sydney . 83500 capacity
Perth Optus Stadium - 60000 capacity
Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane - can do 60000
Adelaide Oval can only do - 53000
but the
MCG in Melbourne - a lazy 100,000 capacity
THEY DON'T HAVE to play in Singapore, Macau and Shanghai - Nor Arenas in Australia, WE DO HAVE LARGE stadiums in Australia - they're not exclusive to the US you know.
We even have - uh hum - electricity! I HAD to answer that serious question from someone from Nashville only 5 years ago who could not understand how we could host The Stones in 2014 because of this problem and seemed staggered we actually did have electricity! But then he also though Australia was just south of England...
