The structure of this tour will be an interesting thing to see. Did anyone noticed that the additional shows in 2021 sometimes only had 2 days of rest in between them? Those were shows added post Charlie, so I think the 3-4 days between shows rule was something he requested. Also I think the decision to do 15 dates per tour was made in his request too? So this tour might be a little more flexible in the number of concerts being played and scheduling than the last few.
I always thought that Mick's voices needs are rest between the shows

RE the Eiffel Tower gig...
This is probably the last and ultimate "venue" Mick never played in so it seems logical he put his weight to have it.
Btw it's not an usual place for musical events. Classical concerts have taken place right below the old lady.
The sad part? If Mick gets this one that might mean it's their last tour. I mean how can you top an Eiffel Tower gig? Going back to the hollow and lifeless "stade de France" for the 5th or 6th time?
Nah...

Stones in Holland seems a 'certainty' this year, but where?
The Stones have a long history with gigs in the Netherlands and I'm sure it's a safe bet that 'we' will get a concert again this summer. I'm curious what venue it will be. Possible options with estimated capacity:
- Amsterdam Arena (50.000)
- Arnhem Gelredome (40.000)
- Nijmegen Goffertpark (55.000)
- Groningen Stadspark (65.000)
- Pinkpop festival ground (70.000)
I hope they'll go for an outdoor location (Pinkpop ground would be great). Least favorite option is the always depressing Amsterdam Arena.

I was in the front on Keith's side and it was really bad. Not as bad as the Amsterdam Arena shows I visited, but bad. Stood on the exact same spot at the London Olympics show a year later and man... HUGE difference.
I have been to the Arnhem show in 2017 as well as to the two London shows in 2018. I was in the pit on Keith side at all three shows and there was no reason to complain about the sound – neither in Arnhem nor in London. (The sound might get bad if you are to close to the stage, but it's easy to avoid this if your are in the pit)

According to the Brazilian producer @jnflesch, The Rolling Stones will visit Latin America again in December this year.
At the moment, there would be 6 countries that are in negotiation for the return of their satanic majesties.
Rumors are currently talking about a European tour, but as it is a celebration of the band's 60th anniversary, it is possible that the Stones will do something similar to "14 On Fire", when the band played shows in several countries on different continents in same tour.
It is worth remembering that there is still nothing confirmed by the band.

The journalist is very well informed and when he spreads these kind of news it's because he checked with his sources, even though some dates may change, as we've already seen after all these years ago. I will celebrate if it's proven true.

Ah ah good one! Or... a gig in space thanks to Elon Musk?

The Sgt. Petersburg gig most likely will remain the only and last time the Stones played in Russia...

They first played Russia in 1998 with a show in Moscow.

A nice addition to the gigs at Palace Square in Sgt. Petersburg and Circo Massimo in Rome (and didn't they once tried to book a gig in Colosseum haha).

Colosseum. Indeed..... so the rumour went.
It was sweeping the UK music press, so because I had a holiday to Rome already planned I called one or two papers. They knew nothing, but one did give me the phone number of The Stones office. So, I called, and whoever I talked to was vague but didn't dismiss the suggestion.
So, we went to Rome, and the day before the planned show we went to look at the Colosseum and decided that it was impossible to have any sort of gig there. Loud music would have blown it over.
We went to the beach instead.
(For the record, the Colosseum has been dramatically renovated in the years since then. Sufficiently for McCartney to play a gig one night to a high paying audience inside, and then - turning the stuff round - a free one to a huge crowd outside.)

That's a good story CC!
I guess that Colosseum gig was one of those crazy, idealistic, stoned ideas of the 60's - any sense of realism didn't damage imagination back then (I recall once reading in some Stones biography that they actually contacted the folks in Rome, but the reply was that the gig was totally out of question). Some even came true, such as the idea of playing a free gig to a half million stoned hippies with Hells Angels as a guard, etc. Anything was possible then - at least looked good in a theory...
Thinking about the 60's - I guess for the Stones as far as historical sites go, probably the oddest might've been the one in notorious 'Palace of Culture and Science' in Warsaw. A historical gig for many reasons, but KGB didn't like what they saw (and Mick's dreams about playing in Russia were doomed for another twenty years).
