Ringo announced last night on Stephen Gilbert's sbow that his summer All-Starr Band tour will be postponed until 2022. I expect most major summer tours to follow suit.

I've never seen Ringo with or without his many different All Star bands, but come 2022 I might have to check it out!
Would have liked to have seen him when Joe Walsh was with him, but not sure whose in the band now...
I think I recall the lead singer of Men at Work might have been one of them...and maybe Steve Lukather from Toto...?
On second thought, I dunno...maybe will have to pass on all that, but plenty of time to figure it out..and Ringo will be 81!

Interesting , yet not very promising or surprising article from Pittsburgh w/mention of the Stones:
When Will Live Shows Return To Pittsburgh’s Silent Concert Venues?
"Concert halls, arenas and stadiums have been silent for a year now, and those looking to rock this summer
will likely be disappointed. Kenny Chesney won’t be coming, nor will the Stones or Springsteen".
ConcertsCovid19
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Live concerts have been on hold for more than a year now, and many are wondering what the future looks like for live music. With vaccines kicking into gear and herd immunity on the horizon, you’d think people could be rocking again this summer. But music promoters say it not that simple. “?My favorite guitarist of all time, David Gilmour from Pink Floyd. The next one, Bob Dylan. The third one, the original Who,” said music promoter Rich Engler. Engler has known them all and produced their shows, but after more than 6,000 concerts and 51 years in the business, he’s never seen a time in his life like this — the year the music died. “There’s been bad years and there’s been phenomenal years, but never a year just wiped away, and people’s lives too, it’s crazy,” he said.
Concert halls, arenas and stadiums have been silent for a year now and those looking to rock this summer will likely be disappointed. Kenny Chesney won’t be coming, nor will the Stones or Springsteen. “Everybody’s on the sidelines. I’ve been talking to Bruce’s camp. It’s the same thing,” said Engler. Engler is looking to book some shows but can’t make them work with capacity limits at 20 percent and doesn’t want to advertise or pay the bands up front if he needs to move those dates. Even if herd immunity kicks in June or July, that won’t give promoters time enough to plan big shows. “At the theater, and arena and stadium level — way too risky. Everybody’s praying for the fall,” said Engler.
Kevin McMahon of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust says, “there are many variables out there.” The summer may not be an entire washout. Allegheny County does not yet have a line-up for free concerts at Hartwood Acres and South Park but says it is going ahead with scheduling them. And McMahon says there will be some concerts with limited attendances at the Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival. The Trust has begun scheduling its Broadway Play series beginning in September but concedes most concerts and theater events will need to wait until later. “When does that start up again? Our best assumption right now is certainly still the fall. That’s what we’re planning,” said McMahon. It’ll leave a whole industry to stand down for months to come. “The sound companies, the stagehands, the lighting companies, the roadies, some of the people on the low end don’t make a lot of money. They have to be really suffering,” Engler said. But Engler says don’t expect to get any discounts from the performers themselves, who are used to being and living like the rock stars they are. “They’re all spoiled. They get overpaid already. They’re not cutting anyone a break. It’s pay up or shut up or move over,” said Engler. Still, if vaccines pick up and venues get an all-clear early, Engler says some smaller shows could get scheduled in a hurry. But for now, the big acts will stay on the sidelines.

I have tix for 3 of those tours in other venues so I would certainly love for them to happen. Not very optimistic though

It's a bit strange it comes from the stadium confirming single shows and not from artists confirming these shows or the whole tours.

Ringo's shows are just fun.
You won't walk out saying it was the best show ever, but you'll walk out with a smile on your face thinking it was an enjoyable evening.
I've seen many incarnations of his band, from having Jack Bruce, Randy Bachman, Billy Preston, to the most recent version (which I didn't think I'd care for but my son wanted to go, but it was very good).

Totally agree- he’s fun!

None of the shows at Wrigley Field are going to happen. There are still too many unknowns to schedule a show or tour of this size and it's not financially or logistically feasible to have shows with 75% or less capacity. This summer is going to be concert and festival free. Look for big shows to return in 2022.

FWIW, the Stones just update their social media profile pictures. They don't do it that often, and it's often done in conjuction with a release (such as the GHS reissue and the Ghost Town single last year). It's just the generic red tongue at this point.
