If people are taking bets that there will be a tour by September, that sounds like real easy money to me. There will not be a Stones tour of the USA in four months time, trust me. maybe there will be a tour ANNOUNCED by then, but a real actual touring tour? No way, San Jose.

Maybe I am not following close enuff and the bet is not on a major tour, just some couple dates thing? In that case, could well happen by then I guess.

Dr Anthony Fauci said he has given his permission to The Rolling Stones to play live concerts but Mick must wear a mask throughout the show,even when singing and playing the harp.And he must stay 6 feet away from Keith on stage throughout the shows so no joint singing at the microphone by Keith and Mick

Hi everyone. New member. First post.
Looking at the NFL schedule and considering they plan to have full stadiums all season, it looks like The Stones could (in theory) start their US tour September 10 (one day after the NFL regular season kickoff) Since they take at least 3 days off between shows, they could fit in all 14-15 gigs in between September 10 and November 5. Thoughts?

Hairball, here's what I posted on March 23

"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."

And here's what I posted back on February 21:

"We are still at the pre-teaser stage. This is where they tell you to subscribe to the mailing list and post those live songs. In years past, those have always been signs of an imminent tour date announcement, is all I'm saying."¨

In late February they did remind people of the mailing list and they did post all those live clips. Yes, it's died down since.

But - as I said back in February - we already have a tour. There's no need to actually "tease" an announcement anymore. You have a tour you signed up to do, you sold the tickets (even if you refunded some of them). You just have to re-schedule it. Of course they will be making a bigger deal out of it when they actually - eventually - hell, hopefully! - DO reschedule it.

Can't remember if any "signs" were there before the rescheduling of the 2019 dates after Mick's heart surgery. I wanna say they did post on Facebook etc. saying "we are going to have the new rescheduled dates soon" or something like that before all systems went go.

And yes I believe am being very realistic about all this. Sadly, we're all just watching the sand slowly running out on the hourglass. Can only hope the band is still in good enough health to perform when the time comes. From a purely legal/contractual standpoint the realism here is that there's still ink on the dotted line on the US tour, but nothing else that we know of so far, however strong those 60th anniversary London/RAH/UK rumors may be.

Even if the tour goes on end of 2021, will there be enough of an audience or demand for it?
I still have tix for Buffalo. It will depend on weather and the status of what percentage of vaccinated population is. I'm more hopeful for a 2022 tour. I know my wife would feel better about being in a stadium with 50,000 plus people in 22

Of course there will be demand.

I heard from an inside source that, because of their escalating age, Chuck's piano sound won't be plink plink plink anymore, it'll be plank plank plank.

Yes to 'the demand' question, without question. Plunk plunk plunk is actually what the piano will sound like so you had that one wrong.
