The City Council of Oslo Norway have approved the 55,000 capacity field Voldsløkka Idrettspark (sports field) for two more concert days in 2022, in addition to the originally approved week-end of 3 days. Voldsløkka as a large concert venue will replace Valle Hovin, which is no longer available for concerts, due to unstable concrete grounds.

I sommer blir det «mega-festival» på Voldsløkka (Nordre Aker Budstikke 25-Feb-2022)

JJHMick, looks like there won't be a Paris show at all. According to French newspaper stories Lyon will be the lone French date.

imho,it's unbelievable, especially having in mind the moment(60th ann.), that they are not playing in Paris this year ...
ok, Stade de France is booked, Champ de Mars unavailable for security reasons, but what about other venues? Le Parc des Princes...Hippodrome de Vincennes, to name a few

I agree, would seem strange they'd omit Paris on what undoubtedly is the last hurrah, but just quoting what the reports are saying.

Wow! Finally after 60 years the Stones will play in my neighbourhood ?

@Topi,
yes, my opinion exactly like yours, "...would seem strange they'd omit Paris on what undoubtedly is the last hurrah..."
i quoted your post, just as reference to raise the question about Paris

I think Paris will be added later.
Time to find a agreement with the authorities

According to all the rumors so far these are the cities:
1-London
2- London
3- UK show
4- Vienna.
5- Munich
6- Berlin (or Frankfurt)
7- Lyon
8-Helsinki
9- Gothenburg
10-Emilia Region
11-Oslo
12- Spain (Madrid?)
14 shows...! only 2 cities left.
I hope that finally Paris can be included. A city closely linked to the history of the Stones

They really should add Denmark. The Box in Herning or Royal Arena in Copenhagen are both very good indoor arenas. Otherwise there’s still the option for Parken Stadium or, dare I say it, Horsens again. It wouldn’t make sense to skip Denmark. Their shows here are always close to sold out.

Cannot see them doing an indoor arena show given the general scale of the other rumored venues. Logistically, Denmark would obviously be much easier to do than Finland.

(I still don't really believe the Helsinki rumor even if I would love to! )

Where‘s the second German show coming from? Any reliable sources or just wishful thinking and best guess based on recent tours?

will there be lucky dips for the RAH? Where there for Hollywood Florida?

Almost everything is rumors until the official dates come out.

Yeah, but there‘s rumors and rumors. Otherwise we could put any town on that list.

Impossible to say, we don't even know RAH is happening.

I think there was a very limited number of dips for the Hollywood, FL show. They weren't advertised very much and only appeared briefly. They also weren't made available on the first day of sales, only later. [iorr.org]

Seems that the RAH is actually free on July 12.

Todos los rumores han sido citados aqui en algún momento, cual es el problema en crear un listado?

Wouldn’t #3 on this list be the 3rd UK show?

Rod

Excuse me, it would be the third concert in the UK

3rd Uk now Anfield,Liverpool in June via BV - so RAH would have to be 4th show

Also, Vienna date changed to July 23 on BV's list.

I had already booked a hotel for that night as well, just based on a hunch. Then I saw Gazza's post on Rocksoff.org saying he'd heard July 23 as a possible date.

Statistics. There has always been at least two concerts in Germany:
2018: 2
2017: 3
2014: 2
2007: 3
2006: 5
2003: 9
1999: 2 (out of 9)

Anything could happen.

I think they could do RAH at basically any slot they want, because they obviously won't need to haul their stage around for that one.

One logical spot for it would have been in between the two Hyde Park shows, of course. However, it seems to be booked from Tuesday onwards that week, so there's that.

Also, they could also just add it on at the very end of the tour, even leave it unannounced at first.

Booked 2 nights anyway, this is even better since on friday my flight would arrive a little late.

Pro tip: never ever fly in day of show!

could be a great weekend, flying on friday, showday on saturday and back on sunday. Vienna should be romantic so I can sell this one at home.

LOL, same situation....just explaining/justifying budget issues to my wife, how beatiful Vienna is and Johann Strauss "An der schönen, blauen Donau"

Rumors,rumors and rumors,,,,, They ALWAYS will play in The Netherlands! Whatever the place will be. They play in The Netherlands if they do an European Tour!

Can't reveal too much, but I have a conctact in Oslo City Council who told me some time ago that Stones made an enquiry about Voldsløkka.
