Announced today 100 million fully vaccinated in the US. More and more states and cities are fully open or planning to be in the next couple months. Stones should be planning their fall tour accordingly with an announcement by the end of May.

Jesus. Should they? Get real. That’s about 1/3rd of the country. AND many Republicans don’t think they’ll have it. So perhaps 1/3rd of the country won’t bother protecting themselves/family/others. THAT’S the country you want The Stones to tour? Jesus.

Fall is American football season. The 2019 tour had to be done by labour day. Wouldn’t count on a fall tour.

Seems they could work around football games, those stadiums are only used 1 day every other week or so from late August through early February. But then again, I could see the NFL not wanting to a chance on screwing up the field.

Respectfully disagree.
Mick talked about (paraphrasing) "having to finish the US tour", as well as mentioning getting back to the stage "maybe sooner than you think".
I agree and believe him.
Large concerts are on the horizon here in the US imo.
Proof of vax or rapid tests required. (Lakers just did rapid tests for a game, it's coming)

There is no way they can tour until the world is safe vs covid-19. The only places they could tour are Australia and New Zealand, where the borders are covid-19-closed, but I can not see Mick, Keith and the rest of the band- and crew - sitting two weeks in a quarantine hotel down under.
Sure vaccine doses are handled in USA, UK and a few other places at a great speed. Still most of the population age 0-50 are still not vaccinated, and as far as I know. Also, many do not want to get vaccinated. Outside the rick countries in the western world, hardly anyone are vaccinated. Travel to USA and UK is still possible from India, Brazil, and other high-infection areas, via other countries.
We are all in the same boat, unfortunately. I just can not imagine myself sitting in a chair in a stadium, at a Stones show, mask on, 3-6 feet apart from friends. It's not really rock'n'roll.

While I was hoping for the slim possibility of a Spring/Summer 2022 rescheduling, right now even that sounds a bit too overly optimistic.
Seems 2023 is probably being more realistic and rational, but not sure if the Stones will be up for it that far off in the future, and at their age.
But maybe things will change again, and hopefully for the better. I still think best case scenario is a few small shows in London
next year to celebrate the 60th, with limited attendance, restrictions in place, etc., etc., etc.
As for sitting in a chair in a stadium at a Stones show, mask on, 3-6 feet apart... definitely not rock'n'roll at all...more like a visit to a library.

Just shows how widely people range in their opinions and/or comfort levels. I fully plan on attending the July 6, 2021 Black Crowes show at Ascend (general admission grass).
Stones not touring till 2023? Might as well call it a day, if that's the case.

True, but events are still opening up here.
Vaccinated sections, rapid testing, etc will see full full(er) stadiums by fall with or without herd immunity.
From yesterday..
Washington events, religious services to have ‘vaccinated sections’
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Washington state will soon have sections for vaccinated attendees of large events and religious services.
Governor Jay Inslee on Monday announced plans that allow spectator events and religious and faith based organizations to increase capacity with those sections in place.
Under the new spectator events guidance:
Outdoor facilities may add vaccinated sections until their total capacity is 50% maximum or
22,000 people, whichever is lower, inclusive of both vaccinated and unvaccinated sections.

Could do three Lumen Field shows at 22k a piece. right now.
By Sept., in anticipation of football etc., they will have stadiums back to full capacity. Rapid tests or vax proof likely required.
