Just to clarify only parts of Australia are in lockdown, for once my city of Melbourne is not in lockdown!!

Still, not a good sign.

no it's not especially here in Australia as the Government has screwed up the vaccine rollout.

Are you going to the Stones Sticky Fingers 50th anniversary at the Palais in 2 weeks? I'll be there barring no lockdowns....

It doesn't happen often but when I see posts that say something like July 1 and it's still June 30th where I am... it's a good giggle.

Well down here in Australia and NZ we are ahead of the world in many ways!

You Am I are 1 of my favorite bands of all time. Pity they're not more widely known outside of the Southland. I've hung out with Tim Rogers a few times & got on well with him. A mutual love of the Who was the icebreaker. You Am I are such a great live band. I hear they have a new record. I'm going to have to track that down.

I get that around New Years when posts show the following year

So like international date line is a thing of some fascination still? Wait till it sinks in that the earth is round, that will come as a real shock to some.

It really messed with the flat earth society. Just another reason not to get the vaccine.

Weird comment. In fact bazaar. Lets me guess you still live in your Mom’s basement.
Lets talk about the tour again

The article mentions Billy Joel moving stadium shows to 2022 after postponing from 2020 to 2021...but he is playing the same stadium here in Buffalo that the Stones postponed were to play in 2020.....in 7 weeks from now, to full capacity (assuming he can sell that many tickets)

"In other instances, the question over the aging rocker issue comes into play, putting them at higher risk from a contagious disease, although nobody’s talking about it specifically.
The Rolling Stones, for example, have three members in their mid-70s, and drummer Charlie Watts just turned 80. As of early June there was no word from the band on rescheduling
15 stadium dates postponed from 2020, but the thinking might be that they would rather see further separation from COVID by waiting until 2022 to hit the road again".

Well now we're in early July, and still no word....

Rip this joint, gonna save your soul, round and round and round we go......

Another week slips away without an announcement. Realistically it seems the tour would have to be announced within the next few weeks for a late September start.

On the 7th day God created The Rolling Stones

My thoughts exactly. here in the US we head into 4th of July weekend with no new news.

Gonna have to break the 7/4/2015 show this afternoon at work!

Yeah. As I said earlier, my hope for a 2021 US tour won’t start fading until after this 3 day weekend. I know there are tons of factors working against the 2021 tour, but I wouldn’t be surprised, if in true Stones fashion, they announce the 2021 make up dates during the 4th of July holiday. Obviously total speculation. Can’t hurt to hope!

Frankly, I'd be very surprised if they announced prior to a US/Canadian border re-opening announcement, which now is expected July 22 at the soonest.
Was widely expected to be opened (to vaccinated travelers) on June 22nd (the restrictions are done on a monthly basis since March of '20)

They have sold tix for Vancouver as we know, and the border impacts other cities as well (Buffalo/Detroit). As it's unlikely for them to have any "inside info" on the border reopening, they wait like all of us is my bet. Likely there's a plan B/C/D in place.. announce anyway like they did Dublin, drop Van from the schedule, move it to the end of tour etc. but I'm sure their preference is an open border.

Would expect there to be some more solid rumors hit the board before then, but I for one am not going to set my hopes an any official announcement soon.
A late July announcement for a Sept/Oct tour would be consistent as far as tour announcements go, particularly one that has already sold many tickets and all the other pandemic variables.

That last sentence is key.

It would not surprise me at all to have right around a month’s notice for the tour start, in which case late July would make sense timing wise.

Based on what others have said, the pieces appear to be in place with dates booked, etc.

It does appear to be a matter of waiting for some type of green light whether that’s visas, COVID data, the Canada border, etc.

If it was for sure going to be 2022, it could have been announced already with the remaining tickets sold quickly, as many others have done.

It seems clear the intent is to tour the US in 21 if possible which would free up 2022 for a 60th Anniversary tour in Europe.

Agree with all of this, but especially this.

The Flat Earth Society recently tweeted that they had “members all around the globe!” Go figure!!!

You’re totally right. I agree with the end of July thing. Forgot about that.

That said, what would you all predict would happen if the Canada restrictions last past July 22?

If Canada extends the border closure another month, through Aug 22nd without offering up a firm date on re-opening (it's possible they extend but also announce a Sept date for reopening for ex) then I think the boys move it to the end of the tour perhaps with an asterisk and announce the rescheduled dates.

Second guess would be moving the Vancouver show to Seattle or elsewhere.

They will not move the Vancouver show to Seattle. If they cannot play in Canada this year for whatever reason they will have to wait until next year to tour...which I think is the most likely scenario at this point.

It's a scenario I suppose, but very doubtful one venue/show would change their intent on getting this leg of the tour in this year as is their obvious and stated intent.
