"The 2015 Zip Code tour started in San Diego at Petco Park (a baseball stadium)."
Not only was I there, someone literally died on my girlfriend during Gary Clark's set

I haven't looked around in a while but I'm going to guess that, based on what I have read with the possibility of the Stones touring NA again that they will NOT perform at the 2020 New Orleans Jazz Fest because, no matter how it's viewed, JF and fans got burned by what happened.
They can deal with The Who this time around with the all very likely possible lumbering cancellation... which, as it has been, more and more older acts are having trouble (except Jimmy Buffett - must be all that weed he's smoked - maybe they should get Willie, if he can handle the heat and humidity like Buffett can) keeping up with.
Ah, yes, see, getting old does indeed have some downfalls...

if the usa gets another tour. i would expect them to play Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, it holds around 106,000 and could easily be the biggest show next tour. remember that some college stadiums are much larger then pro football ones. fingers crossed for more shows next year....

I'm not sure there is room to get equipment into Michigan Stadium, is there? Looking at photos of the bowl itself, there's no tunnel to get the cranes in to erect the staging...
And, I'm not just saying that as a Buckeye fan... I'd drive up in a heartbeat for that gig!

Yeah, I would attribute any potential early lack of enthusiasm more on the fact that they did play NO last year albeit not JF.
Right there with you on California options hairball
Also - Vancouver. Stayed across the street from BC Place over the weekend and would love to see them make a Vancouver stop (or two) this time.

Being two hours away and knowing A2 like the back of my hand, I would love it if they played The Big House. Two things however:
1) There has never been a concert in UofM Stadium and the trustees guard the venue closely. Sniff, tradition and whatnot.
2) No alcohol sales inside or out. People can party their asses off outside but it stops at the gate. This is not a bad thing, really. My favorite Stones show (out of nearly 40 since 1975) was Michigan State in East Lansing about 75 miles from A2. No alcohol sales there either and it made the whole affair much more enjoyable.

I remember all the hoopla surrounding ticket sales for Jazz Fest in the news that was posted here - people waiting in long lines, etc. all wanting to see the Stones.
Of all the postponed shows, that one must have stung the worst due to it being cancelled.
For the people who bought tix solely for the Stones, weren't they instead "gifted" with the remnants of Fleetwood Mac and/or the option to get a refund?
If that's the way it happened, FM sounds like a nightmare of an option, but can't blame it on the Stones imo.
If they do decide to play there again, I doubt there will be as big of a demand though - at least initially...many people who planned going last year will think twice.
Still hoping for some more California shows in the north and south...

Now admit it, u only want them for the south. I remember your glee over the post Levi's fiasco and your suggestion that they could play more concerts in the southland!

Annoucement will be probably late in february, for two reasons, to avoid another postponed tour and to make more publicity on this 2nd us tour to follow.

Levis was a great show, and not sure what you're referring to in regards to the post Levi's fiasco...was it the bickering between the city and the 49'ers over the curfew and noise ? If so, yeah that was funny.
Doubt the Stones would ever play there again for a variety of reasons, but with talk of baseball stadiums, wouldn't mind seeing them back at Oracle Park (aka Pacific Bell Park aka SBC Park aka AT&T Park),
as I've seen plenty of great shows there and San Francisco is a nice city (aside from all the people defecating in the streets).
But if I was scheduling the tour, I'd totally bypass the north and keep the Stones down south (L.A., Anaheim, San Diego) where the weather is much nicer as are the people - and ther wouldn't be any childish bickering about noise.
Would also love to see them in Seattle some day, and even north of the border somewhere in the Canada - Vancouver would be nice.

So I'd guess the LA and Vegas stadium concert dates should not be scheduled earlier than mid-August; and they will not have full confidence when both stadiums will be complete for a few more months.
