ngl, not too thrilled about the Gelsenkirchen rumour and it doesn't make too much sense, it's just such a bland and boring and random city (especially considering that almost all other cities on the list are capitols or otherwise nice big meaningful cities in the respective countries) what happened to Cologne, Frankfurt, Hamburg or Berlin?

Gelsenkirchen as a city doesn't make sense, but the Ruhr area is the most densly populated regions in Germany. And it doesn't matter to them if the play Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund, Cologne, Düsseldorf or maybe even Bochum. The choice of were to play in (or close to) the Ruhr area is just a matter of available venues.

the argument about population density makes sense yeah...now that you mentioned Bochum I guess Gelsenkirchen wouldn't be the worst choice possible lol...Düsseldorf would be the nicest out of those cities but they've been there twice in more recent years (and I am STILL kinda sad that I didn't go there in 2014 when my friend asked me to come along, could have started my Stones journey 3 years earlier, but I basically just was studying and didn't have money :/..)...still hoping rather for Cologne instead this year

beside that: as I pointed out before I think the Gelsenkirchen rumor is quite reliable. Who would make up a rumor about Gelsenkirchen – espcially people runnung a french website? (how manny people in France know that something like Gelsenkirchen exists?) Therefore I believe the have some real source (note that Gelsenkrichen hasn't been mentioned before anywhere else. So they didn't just copy it from some other fan website

As to where in the tour itinerary that "Gelsenkirchen" show might be, could it be the 5th slot?

1. Madrid
2. Munich
3. Liverpool
4. Amsterdam
5. ?
6. Milan/Monza

Meaning it would be a weekend show on Friday the 17th - again, giving you 3 full days off before Italy.

Just call it Schalke and people will know

I personally trust in the Gelsenkirchen rumour! Friday June 17 would fit well for me as Thursday is a bank holiday in my part of Germany

I'd really love the Stones to play a show on the 12th July to actually commemorate the 60th anniversary. IS that a realistic wish? Obviously if they do that it would need to be a show in London, anywhere would be perfect.

If Lyon, France is July 19 and Hyde Park #2 is July 3 as rumored, and they have 3 days off between shows, July 12 looks like an odd fit.

July 3- HP#2
July 7- ?
July 11- ?
July 15- ?
July 19- Lyon, France

Obviously, I'm just working with rumors and previous patterns here. They could make July 12 work if they want, but I keep hearing that The Stones aren't sentimental. Guess we'll have to wait and see...

July 11 rumored Brussels. See. I thought so.

After the Covid break almost every band is going to tour this year and thats why booking venues is extremly complicated this year. The demand for venues is currently a lot higher. I heard this from a guitarist of a big heavy metal band who told me that they planned to do a lot more shows on their upcoming tour but they couldn't find enough available venues. And thats why I think all those speculation about why the Stones would play in a certain venue won't help much cause i think they have to schedule the tour more along venue availability than anything else.

It's been 20 years since Forty Licks. Just let that one marinate.

It’s been 17 years since the last album of original material. FROM A ROCK AND ROLL BAND that still … works. Let THAT marinate.

Its been marinating in what is left of my brain for some time already. And I guess that is how it will remain. The Stones have actually got more attention for NOT making an album, than they would have received if they HAD made one.

The French fan club often has pretty good "insider" info. I wouldn't dismiss what they announce as non-sense.
They foresee exactly 14 dates which is compatible with previous tours.

"Paris accueillera le groupe à l'Hippodrome ParisLongchamp, où il était passé deux soirs en 1995 à l'occasion de la tournée Voodoo Lounge."
They don't write "might" they write the gig will take place at Longchamp, just like in 95. Hope the weather will be mild this time.

My guess (no source) is RAH could happen on on July 7th after London 2nd show. RAH is not booked and I hope this could be the RAH-day!

Just thinking aloud:

Where in July would Gelsenkirchen fit? Right after Hyde Park #2, that is, on July 7? Or after Brussels on the weekend beginning July 15?

Or at the end of July after the Lyon-Paris-Vienna trifecta (in whatever order those cities may be)?

(Note that sympathyforthedevils.com has Brussels in June, whereas BV says it's in July.)

My guess is July 15th for Gelsenkirchen if the Devils are right that it will take place in July. Since the info on Gelsenkirchen came exclusively from them (and only from them), it would be strange if they'd mixed up June and July.
On the other hand: It seemed like the Paris shows was originally planned for mid July and ever they changed that they are putting either Gelsenkirchen or Bruxelles on that date.
Might well be that this hasn't been finalized yet

So the rumour for Switzerland is Berne...that would be Stade de Suisse. Probably the smallest stadium on the tour. Hope the prices won‘t be higher than in 2017.

Thats really good to know, hope it materializes. As for prices, last time in Zurich I had lucky dips and got semi good seats on the far left side. I never pay above 200 for a ticket

Sorry, didn‘t want to cause any false hopes. That‘s just what I read on the french sympathyforthedevils-site. Don‘t know how reliable that is, but I also hope it‘s true :-)

Guesswork or sourced?

What kinda presales? Bild for germany?

The mailing list/"fan club" presale is a sure bet. In the US, there was a plethora of radio/venue/season ticket holder presales as well, not sure if Europe will feature that many.
