Probably because they didn't sell out last time...
Would have fought they would play in Hartwall... but no.
Same thing happened to Norway after 98.

I would guess that at least one show will be announced later in Stockholm or Helsiki. Otherwise you finns will have to go to S:t Petersburg! Or Gothenburg.

Yes, we are back in Dark Ages (=prior Voodoo Lounge Tour); we Finns need to do pilgrimages to Sweden
In '82 there was a mass movement to Ullevi stadium; perhaps we are repeating history...
It also looks like that the Stones are repeating the 1982 European Tour formula: mostly just big stadium shows, no arenas or other smaller venues. I hope this also reflects to the music they present... (that was a bitter joke; I think the European leg of the Tour would be musically the most boring and safest ever: only war heroes + two odds to the masses. It looks like they are just collecting the last Euros they can get from Europe)

Sorry but money collecting compare to the States is nothing in Europe.
More hazzle with borders, don't forget that trucks still have to have make customers. Then much more hazzle to travel during summer time because of vacation. Dealing with so many ticket vendors. Actually big money is only UK.
As Europeans including myself do not want to pay for upscale ticketprices we get the leftovers that's very, very clear.
Exception was Licks Tour.
So either pay a little fortune and you will get arena type shows or forget it and take the warhorse theme. Anyway I do not think that they will make a show in both St. Petersburg and Helsinki.
If they really do a arena show in September that might be different.

They ARE NOT coming to HELSINKI.
If they,and they play at st.petersburg,helsinki is automatically out.
2003.sold only 40 000tix,and VERY slowly.They are NOT going to take that risk
again.Because,simply i would sell only 30k.Going to petersburg,they get russians
and finish,the ones who wants to go.Like me.
I also think that,stockholm is out.Only UK,Germany and Holland are getting
multiply shows.Besides,they do only stadiums in europe,so thats why Hartwall
Arena is out,they don´t carry different logistics,just for helsinki,very stupid
idea,business wise.Besides,we finish don´t deserve that show.lasy time was just
bad,badly organized.
