The word around the campfire before was that the Stones wanted to tour in 2021 but the insurance companies wanted to push it back to 2022.
Also, I heard this:
"The logistics company that handles their trucks were receiving inquiries to tour as early as May. May of course won’t be happening but it does show their intent to tour sooner than later."

I hope it all goes forward as planned - I enjoyed some of those early Eric Church tunes when driving up through Bakersfield,
and then up to the mountains of the Sequoia National Forest while listening to the local country radio stations.
There was one catchy tune about "mustard on a hot dog" ...lol...I think it was him, but can't think of the title of the tune.
Anyways, details of tour from Taste of Country - Eric Church Tour
"Church has become a leading voice in country music's push to get back onstage. He recently posed for the cover of Billboard getting his vaccination,
and in an accompanying article, he emphasized that getting vaccinated was the only path forward for things to return to normal after the COVID-19 pandemic".
And this Taste of Country article from April 1: Eric Church/Billboard Vaccine
"It became very clear to me that the only way to really get back to normal is through vaccinations. You’ve got to get needles in arms," says Church, who, at the start of the pandemic, met with various health and music industry specialists to devise a plan to begin playing live shows again. "If you believe you shouldn't [get vaccinated], I don’t have a problem with it. I’m a liberty guy, too. I get it," Church adds. "But I view this a little differently than most other things. We’ve never encountered this."
To Billboard, Church's team shares that they're working on plans for a post-pandemic tour. They've been working on scheduling show dates — though plans have needed to shift pretty constantly — and hope to pay any additional costs associated with new protocols on their end, rather than push it to fans via ticket prices.
Church's manager, John Peets, explains that their plans also include tickets going on sale closer to show dates than before, given the potential for COVID-19 testing or vaccination proof for entry to concerts.

Wondering if either proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test will be required...if I were to attend any concert, I would hope so.

I realize that, but wondering if the artists themselves will have any say in the matter? Or maybe a stipulation from an insurance company?
And I would imagine some bands and artists will want to err on the side of caution - not only for themselves, but for those in attendance.
If providing proof of vaccination or a negative test is the route they or their insurance company requires, they probably won't be allowed to perform in that particular state.
I'm sure Texas and Florida (among a couple others) will welcome anyone no matter what - even if they're a walking corona timebomb!
But some states will clearly have some level of restrictions for the foreseeable future such as here in California.
Per your link:
"In California, for example, starting April 15, venues looking to host larger gatherings like concerts and sporting events,
will have the option to host larger events if they require proof of vaccination of guests".
The Stones could possibly play here in very large venues soon - call it the No Vaccination - No Entry tour.

Mine were fairly inexpensive, couple rows up in the upper balcony, didn't want to spend too much since I saw him in late 2017. Assuming the stage/video screens are similar to last time, I thought it would be better to be higher up so I can take pics of the screen which stretches the whole length of the floor.

Any word on how the NFL would feel about having an extra 40,000 plus fans in their venues on an off day? Just curious, I'm going to assume the NFL would like to be close to full capacity themselves by Fall. Can't see any team signing off any concerts in their venues if the NFL itself isn't going to be at 100% capacity.

He is going to play in the round & the talk is it's going to be some sort of stunning presentation. He's going to be 79 by the time the tour happens & is still breaking new ground with his show. He's saying it's his first farewell tour. He's honery enough (God bless him) that he'll keep going for awhile. Seems to be in reasonably good health.

considering the substantial damage he's done to himself plus entering his 79th year the end of this year.

I'm not sure I would hold my breath on any of those happening though.
