Seems fishy that they’re all Saturdays

Looks very interesting - thanks for the post.
So Tour-start 2nd May in San Diego and Tour-end 1st August in Atlanta.
I don't do Facebook. Anyone mind reposting all the dates on here?

There was no such idea for this year, Rollin92.
They aren't finished yet
It was said by Bv that the Stones were considering pinning London dates on as the end of this tour/ each coming tour. I am interested to know why that was dropped.
I never said that.
They do rarely mix shows on different continents for the same tour, last time was 2013, which was an unusual year.
the fact that Britain (incl. London) left the EU doesn't make London a part of the USA…
Eh??? Agreed and I certainly hope not but irrelevant. We are not the 51st state. I doubt if Britain leaving the EU will affect any band's touring plans. They toured before we joined and they'll tour long after. Logistics are not affected in any way.

But the Guns-N'-Roses-dates on that Facebook-site seem to be correct .... [UltimateClassicRock.com] .

I bet the dates will generally be 4 days apart like on the last tour.

Pretty sure they won't all be 3 PM start times too.

I just wanted to point out that it is very unlikely that shows in London/UK will be part of an American tour (since Brexit does NOT turn the Uk into the 51st US state)

Completely in agreement with you that it would be messy and logistically complicated to add London to the end of a US Tour and the only time I can ever remember it happening was 2013.
Same.. just added a new one for the earlier FB rumored dateQuote
Hairball
Hoping the original rumoured May 17th date for San Diego stands correct, but now seems it could be earlier in the month?
Refundable hotels booked both near stadium and downtown 16-18 (will decide best option later), but if it's a different date need to cancel and scramble for new reservations.
The thrill of it all....

It’s the fact that the Stones don’t think about the home crowd enough that gets to me.
They cared enough to play there in 2012, 2013 and 2018. How many times did Asia and South America (both big markets/fan bases for them) get toured since 2012?
Topi, the States have had countless gigs since 2012. 2012, 2013 and then a five year gap does not equate to a lot of gigs. No disrespect to South American and Asian fans but my point is that the Stones are a British band and the U.K. seems to be an after thought to them.
The Stones could have thrown London dates in this year if they really wanted to. They clearly didn’t want to. It’s the fact they didn’t want to that is galling especially at this late stage.

But what if the whole Stage/Lighting/Sound-Equipment is from Europe (e.g. StageCo Belgium) ?
It would barely make a difference if the Cargo-plane lands in London-Heathrow instead of Amsterdam-Schiphol and Trucks bringing then the Equipment back to e.g. Brussels ....

You mean a vinyl box release: Brussels 1973 / 2020 - same setlist? Great idea.

Most of the rumoured dates around are incorrect. Please see the dates to be trusted in the current IORR list.
The Rolling Stones Tour 2020
seems to be a fine collection of America's B-cities (at least from a European point of view), no places that I'd like to visit…
