Could also be other markets in 2025 and Europe after that.

I wonder how this happened, as the Stones toured in the 60s and 70s when they worked with smaller settings than stadium stages.
He could not have been hidden behind or under the stage.
So where is he? Or did he play only occasionally ??

Where do you see them playing in 2026?

Some of you are hilarious. 2025? Let’s wait for a 2024 tour first. Father Time is undefeated.

Dunno. It was just a remark that there're fans in other parts of the world who saw them the last time 8-10 years ago (when it's 2024).

Err, sure, there're and here're. Mick mentioned in a recent interview to a Finnish newspaper that he would like to come back to Finland...

At last, a note of common sense. Well said. And not alone 2025. There is mention by someone else of 2026. Its almost like time has been paused. Everything is all 1980 again. Or whatever.

Even Jagger can't keep going forever. Much less Keith and Ronnie.

On another strand referencing Hackney Diamonds there are increasing references to the NEXT album following. And even ANOTHER one again after that.

Lets just enjoy what we have good people. We are getting the new studio album of originals we have all wanted. Its not even released yet. And we may well have a tour somewhere next year.

Whatever may or may not happen after that is something to consider further down the line...

Hey let’s get thru the 2024 tour first, after that if health permits etc
One day at a time. They will be 81 next year. I would like to see them continue but as the newspaper have said time is not on their side now. We’ll see be patient.

I have some info about next year. I know they have a hold on a stadium in late June.

If this is correct, unlike the show scheduled this summer, I believe it would be separate from the NASCAR race weekend, which is reported to be July 6-7, though that could be subject to change.

The contract does not set those dates in stone, however

Not sure I do see them playing in 2026 ? A bit too far ahead to even consider things like that, me thinks !

I can see 2024, 2025 at a stretch. But 2026 ? Lets get 2024 done first ....

Yeah, I was actually asking Irix that question.

It has to end someday, and we're already on borrowed time. Many on this thread have said that we cannot take any future shows/tours for granted when it comes to 80-year olds. And that is true.

That said, fingers crossed for that 2024 US tour that seems to be the word around the campfire at the moment.

We have been so blessed since 2012 when the more or less annual tours began.

anything else than first USA, then UK/Europe (and then maybe somewhere else) would surprise me. I know it might get boring but I repeat my point once again: With not too many shows left before they have to stop touring they surely will concentrate on their biggest markets.

('not too many shows left' = if they do some 14-15 shows each year it's realistic that they won't do more than 50 shows)

maybe there might be a slight possibility that they might do shows in the US and UK/Europe next year to promote the new album

Topi,

Do you think if they do the USA in 24, South America in 25, Europe again in 26, Japan and rest of Asia in 27, that they will then return to the USA in 28? It will certainly be their turn again.

I think if Mick had the intention to continue touring with the Stones he would have squeezed in a dozen shows this year, or at least got the band together to do something, there are a lot of crew members out of a job this year.

BV mentioned in this very thread there are no plans to tour as yet, so why people start discussing where and when the Stones will tour in 2025 is beyond me.
It becomes increasingly unlikely with each passing month that they will ever tour now Mick and Keith both reach 80 this year.

Fingers crossed though as this band continue to defy logic.

Well, in an interview on Dutch tv last week that I watched, Ronnie said they were going to tour America next year, and Mick said they would tour but didn't know the places yet.

I said they have no plans to tour this year.
I am sure they do have plans to tour next year.
In fact I posted the following four days ago [iorr.org] :

Just replace 23 with 24 then was the plan:

The Rolling Stones North America Tour 2023

For all we know, those crew members may well be occupied with some of other tours that are underway.

Paul McCartney will already be 81.5 years old after his concert on 16-Dec-2023 (Maracana Stadium, Rio De Janeiro). When the 'Hackney Diamonds bassist' can do it, then Mick & Keith certainly can do it too.

Yeah, of course they will! Return to the US in 2028 I mean. After all Mick and Keith will 'only' be 85 or so by then. And Ronnie a mere 80ish. Kids really. First flush of youth and all that!

Forgive me. I cannot help being just a little bit irreverent. And maybe your original comment was made in jest? I certainly hope so because it is extremely difficult to take it seriously. Other contributors here have wisely encouraged us to be cautious about looking too far ahead. And I agree with them. Personally I feel we are tempting fate by being reckless and unrealistic in our horizon scanning...

Well yes that's true but Paul only needs Paul fit and able, Mick needs himself and Ronnie and Keith to be able to tour, it just becomes harder to pull it off at these ages.

That sounds more encouraging BV than this thread is going nowhere a couple pages back. Nothing signed, no plans no tour or something to that effect.
So we have a chance, that will do for me

Someone on Shidoobee has posted that their friend who works at Lincoln Field told them the Stones have booked the space for June 2024.

So, Chicago and Philly appear to be on the books for next year so far

That's really interesting. So the plan has been for summer '24 since february i guess. The tour is still postponed technically.

Another interesting fact is that they may play few shows in other places too

"A lengthy queue for vinyl-record manufacturing, however, meant the Stones couldn’t release the album immediately. “I met with the heads of the record company and said, ‘Well, when can you put it out?’ ” Jagger says. “And they said, ‘What about Christmas?’ I said, ‘F—k off. Christmas? No.’ ” The compromise: October. The band is talking about touring the U.S. and hopefully elsewhere next year".
