Clive Davis will be promoting a huge concert in Central Park in NYC in August, any chance the Stones will be there ? Word is that it will be free, and televised

No

Doubt it.

That would be great. I think their show at the 121212 in Madison Square Garden was fantastic. And the free shows In Rio and Havana were amazing

Sounds like a great place to be very very far away from. Probably feature Gulliani and Garfinkel.

Giuliani won't be there. I would bet $50 the Stones won't be either.

>Giuliani won't be there

Hopefully he will have another appointment, in a Federal courthouse nearby.

who would want to play an outdoor show in New York in August? With all that damn humidity. That said, I'm sure it happens all the time.

Mick could use this as a means to shift a few more tickets if the fall tour takes place, maybe they will be well into reheresals by then and could do three songs!

The rumor is Billy Joel.

unlikely.
The Stones rarely play festivals where they are not the main act.

They'll arrive via a flatbed truck blasting Start Me Up.. NYC and The Stones are back!!

In seriousness, very doubtful they'd make an appearance at this unless they happened to be playing a nearby gig, and this will be too early.

Will be interesting to see who does appear. Billy Joel, Springsteen, Gaga would make my partial guess list. Would be fantastic if Simon and Garfunkel made an appearance, more likely is Paul Simon solo. Macca would be a great choice amongst the non NY'ers.. but I think that's highly doubtful as well.

Gee.. if only there was some precedence we could refer to, to confirm whether they would perform for free to help the NYC area after a disaster.

Of course, so was I

Guess this proves they're just asssholes then.
Good point.

*Also, four days earlier it was Barclays in Brooklyn, and it was fantastic!!
For the record, I don't think they'll be there, although Irix's post below highlights the possibility.

Since the Central-Park-concert should take place 21-Aug-2021, the Stones could do it instead of a Pre-Tour Club-Show and then start their regular US-Tour in September 2021 .... [www.NYTimes.com] , [iorr.org] .

8 Artists slated, and I can almost guarantee that they will be NYC-centric, so my guess would include:

Paul Simon, possibly Simon & Garfunkel.
Springsteen - already reprising his Broadway stint.
Billy Joel
Jay-Z/Beyonce
Alicia Keys

other possibilities: Bon Jovi, J-Lo. Would be something if Barbra Streisand performed.

30 July 2003, Toronto…. The Boys do step up when they can.

I think the Stones might if they are asked, i would never right them off, i didn't imagine I'd see them at Glastonbury but there they were in full Glory, if Ronnie is well enough why not.

It will be Amazing if Simon And Garfunkle settle their differences to sing too, Wow.

There will likely be someone more contemporary for the younger crowd. I could imagine Taylor Swift doing it.

No, they wont play. While we all are waiting, Ronnie will probably release a new sola album.

If they had a few shows under their belt and were in form, maybe, but I doubt they'll start out at such a high profile event cold, as their first gig back.

In the middle of Stones activity and mini tour . Versus hauling out that behemouth vehicle and all of the moving parts inside and outside for a free gig . I am a doughting Thomas on that . Also that would mean they would have to spend time and energy rehearsing - for a freebie -nah

The were already two months in to the summer European tour before taking a detour over to Toronto, then took a week off before resuming the Euro tour.
That said, I agree this will probably never happen...without rehearsals and at their age...has train wreck written all over it

It wasn’t planned to be a week off. They had to postpone a show in Spain just after Toronto, since Mick got sick.

That's a lot of qualifiers, (which we all were aware of).

Was responding to the simple "For free -NO" post.
Didn't realize I had to refute all the logistics, the day of week, and the kitchen sink as well.
