The Rolling Stones Tour in Australia 2014, originally scheduled to start in Adelaide March 22, 2014, was announced on Nov 20, 2013 i.e. four months ahead. The shows went on sale one week later, and sold out in an hour or so.
Japan has been closed for tourism for almost three years now, but they open up next week, by Oct 11.
If The Rolling Stones go ahead and tour Australia and/or Japan early 2023, as there has been rumours about, then they do not need to announce any shows until late 2022 or early 2023.
Remember we are post covid still, Mick and Keith will be turning 80 next year, and they do know they will sell out any gig in an hour or so these days.

I’m one who’s long thought, HOPED, going on past experience, that they would be in Australia in Feb/Mar 2023. But surely that would have been announced and, in fact, on sale by now? It’s only 4-5 months away after all. I’ve now given up hope.

Rod, don't give up. I'm rooting for you and Rockee to get some shows. It's time to go south!

Tks. As BV was one who mentioned the short time frame of past tour (where I had thought it was about a 9 month lead time, in error), and as he is someone who is somewhat in the know, I am now once more, very hopeful!

I personally feel that ROLLING STONES will not be touring next year. As Mick Jagger will be turning 80. And I cannot think or imagine that Mick Jagger will be dancing around the stage at 80. That will be too much to ask from the front man.Also Keith Richards will be 79. So considering there age I feel 2022 maybe there last.

So at 79 Mick can still do it but at 80 he can't? Why that? Because of the number?

I guess we won’t hear much now until after Christmas.
If we are lucky we’ll get either a few Europe or US dates next year, anything beyond that is a bonus. The days of extensive multi continent tours are over.
I do think the band would want to tour Asia / Australasia and / or South America but the logistics may not be in their favour given their age and post covid touring requirements / insurance costs.
