This variant business is really going to pick up steam in the next few months.
You can’t make that claim without providing evidence so where is it?

It’s already picking up steam. Check out any news source. It’s starting to feel like February 2020 again.

So once again where is your evidence that it’s going to really accelerate over the coming months?

I’m at work I can’t really look it up right now. But you have the same internet that I do. There’s plenty of info out there.

The variants (mutants) are not a big problem vs the vaccines. Some more vaccinated people will get mild covid-19, due to variants, but few will be really ill. I have posted details about this in the "corona virus" thread.
The biggest concern regarding touring would probably be finance and insurance. The risk is very high, mind you shows and tours have been delayed for some reason or another the past few years, health issues, hurricane issues, then add covid-19 and the band members age. I think they would need to scale down the risk from 14 shows or so into a lower number, but as there is a startup cost, this will be a challenge financially.

I think Christmas 2021 is too optimistic. Especially because by then it will be winter, and cases will have picked up again. That light at the end of the tunnel is just another oncoming train!

Maybe they can add some pay per view packages whilst playing live to generate extra income for a smaller tour but I have no idea how much that would add financially.

Just read these two announcement on The Who facebook page - unfortunate, but seems the safest, smartest, and obvious thing to do at this point.
"We are sad to announce that due to Coronavirus our #TeenageCancerGig at the Royal Albert Hall show has been cancelled.
If you have tickets for our March 20 show your ticket provider will be in touch with refund info soon.
Teenage Cancer Trust still need your support to help make sure young people don’t face cancer alone.
Please consider donating the price of your ticket: Teenage Cancer Trust
And:
“We are very sorry that we have to cancel our planned March 2021 UK and Ireland shows. Please excuse the delay but we wanted to wait as long as possible to see if we could indeed play them.
However, as you can see the current situation makes this impossible. Thanks for all your wonderful support and we hope to see you in the future when conditions allow.”
~ Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, 15 February 2021

Hopefully they'll continue some day when it's safe enough - the last two shows I saw at the Hollywood Bowl in 2019, as well as both shows at Desert Trip were amazing.
Wow Hairball, you were at the Desert Trip! Off course you saw the Stones too. The Stones did an old Beatles song, I vaguely remember. Didn't sound that great. What did you think about it?
Desert Trip was fun. My only regret is I didn't go both weekends.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is an announcement over the next few days confirming rescheduled US tour dates for Spring 2022.
Agree with other posts here that something is likely to be announced soon, what with the recent social media activity.
My thoughts Lets hope its true )) See you on the road during the summer 2022 tourQuote

Life will be normal within the next 12 months. The Rolling Stones will perform live in some way during the next 12-18 months. I am ready wherever they go.

even if there are shows – the question is: who will be able to attend them? For example: if they do shows in the USA they might not let you in if you are from Norway, Germany or the UK…[/quote
Some people have exemptions and have been able to travel to the USA during the pandemic.Recently apps have been developed and are now in use by certain airlines to show you have tested negative in order to travel.Many countries are looking at vaccine passports and these will be in use this year.There will be many major airlines and some countries that won’t let people board planes or enter if they have chosen not to have the vaccine but for those that take the vaccine international travel will be possible again this year and there are actually many countries that have been open during the pandemic.
