I think they are done after this year. End it where it all began.

I agree. The Stones aren't always sentimental (especially Mick but ending it where it began is an "orderly" ending, systematic and very proper English way to end. But I hope they just do it and don't advertise it..........

I would bet they won't finish the next tour in London. The Stones aren't sentimental. It could be anywhere...

Id 'bet that they will finish in London...especially if they know that will then be it .
And not necessarily as an originally scheduled show....but maybe added to the end of the originally planned itinery.
[There are precedents, under different circumstances perhaps, but Remember how the additional o2 shows were tagged on the end of the fragmented ABB tour]

Wouldn't be too surprised if their final show was a private small affair for a billionaire willing to pay the Kings ransom.
Volia . This is it. Beautifully said.Quote

Pretty hard to think that the Stones are any 'The Last Waltz' kind of band. But that said, there was that kind of feel in those O2 shows in the end of A Bigger Bang tour. Especially in the interview of Keith that was released in YouTube at the time. He sounded so sad and sentimental, giving the impression of 'from here it all started, and here it will end. Home'. It was a long and tough tour, so it could be that the Stones were actually thinking that 'this is it'. Not probably saying it loud even to each other, but deep in their hearts, and having some kind of sense of realism. (Well, Charlie used to say that they felt like that after every tour...)

In this press release from Spain, about six months ago, among other things that we already know, they describe the Stones' tour as: A summer tour of big festivals, I've seen many concerts in big festivals when I was younger, but now At 58 years old, I prefer to sit in a chair in a football stadium and be able to enjoy a concert by my favorite band.

But leaving all that sentimental stuff about 'this is the very last show ever' or that them leaving the stage forever supposed to be some sort of a Bigger Bang (sic) I think with the Stones the question is that ANY concert is such. And has been for a long time. The Stones are so damn popular and blessed that they have never needed to promote any of their tours as farewell ones. People think and had thought for ages the tours in terms like that without any official announcement: this could be the very last time to see the Stones. And as live performers they are pretty convincing to give such an impression - offering a huge event, even a triumph by playing like this is the last time ever, giving all they can and all those legendary songs in one token. Which will be techically the very last concert (sometimes during the 2030s...), attended by whoever, private or public, will be just a historical anecdote, and mean next to nothing at this stage. Just another gig for them... (and some another, say, 10 million dollars...)

The Mexico/South America 2023 rumors were first discussed briefly on Rocksoff.org back in January [rocksoff.org]

maybe
but i think they'll continue doing a handful of stadium shows a year for at least a couple more years
just hope they don't do one of those "farewell
tours" and just keep performing until they can't or don't want to anymore
just one day they do and the next they don't
Seems like they've always been clear that they won't say such a thing. Mick is always diplomatic, Keith is always "I'll die on stage", Charlie said it's over when his drums blow up and Ronnie... I have no idea but probably along the lines of "It just keeps getting better and better, mate".
Mick stated that the new Stones LP will be the last one. Which to me says more. No matter what, it's winding down.
