Won't they need to quarantine for at least 14 days before they are allowed to enter the US coming from the UK?

I really truly hope that all Americans fans (and others who are lucky enough to get into the USA without severe restrictions) that The Rolling Stones will do this mini tour!
I patiently look forward to a European follow-up next year, because it looks like going over to the USA will be very troublesome, to say the least, for us.
When I was discussing the surprise announcementment with a friend, going over things like current, still high, risks moving around the USA, health risks for the band members, possible increasing infection rates among fans (delta appears to be florishing there now, with pessimistic expectations by virologists and so on) we wondered if there could be another reason for announcing the tour?

reasons could be:
- to get it done while it's still possible
- contracts surely play a role. There might be a clause that they have to do the US tour before they are allowed to do another tour (i.e. Europe 2022)
- the Stones are not getting younger and it's most likely their last US tour
Health risks for the band members seem to be neglectable – most likely they are all vaccinated and beside that it's easy to keep unvaccinated people away from them. Who's really at risk are the fans and those people who work at the venues…

Maybe they will finally play Slave on stage. The tempo is not too speedy, which could be good for Keith... Might be great if Sonny Rollins could have been staring but his health apparently is not as great as Mick's...

There may not be a B stage

Back in '81 they played SIX tunes from Tattoo You at both the L.A. Coliseum shows on Oct 9 and 11. With the 40th anniversary deluxe edition coming soon, wondering how many they'll play from it this tour?
Granted those setlists were 26 tunes back in those days, so probably shouldn't expect much more than Start Me Up. But aside from SMU (which I can live without) ...would love to hear Waiting on a Friend again...
Seems like it would be an appropriate choice...maybe even a stripped down version on the B-stage...

Yes, Georgie48, American fans are VERY worried about contracting Covid at a Stones concert.( see my post under STONES 2021 and all of those who agreed with me). Many fans that I know who would NEVER miss a Stones Tour are sitting this one out...it's not worth the chance of being hospitalized, or worse. You have to know that in a crown of 25,000 - 50,000 there will be unmasked fans who are not vaccinated...and I still think they'll be touring for their 60th Anniversary of the formation of the band in 2022. I can wait.

Then you have the hypocrites. They're crying about covid, but still going to stones shows.
