I'm also in the Chicago area! Not going to lie, there are some shows that I want to see on 5/31 and 6/1 that are going onsale on Friday and part of me is thinking I should wait to buy tickets for anything local in May/June until the Stones dates are out!

PC was about Stones date in Chicago. Nothing about tour reveal. Was supposed to be attended by some important people in Chi. Didn’t happen. Oh well. Doesn’t mean the info was wrong. Just meant it didn’t happen. Just like if the date changes,doesn’t mean it wasn’t the plan. You have disputed EVERYTHING I have said. I’ll keep my info to myself going forward.
I haven't "disputed EVERYTHING” you've said, and I’m not sure I’ve “disputed” anything you’ve said actually. Rather, I've only raised questions about what didn't and still doesn't quite make sense to me. And since bv mentioned "respect," I'll add that I've never called anyone here a "such a little @#$%&" as you did in just your 13th post on this forum several weeks ago.
I did not "dispute" your first post here nine months ago stating that there would be a Soldier Field date on 6/30 this year, even as many others raised questions, noting that it was the same weekend as the big NASCAR race and attendant street closures. Nor did I raise any questions when you went on to cite as indicia of your reliability other shows that were previously-announced or widely-expected. Nor did I raise any questions a month later when, after it was known elsewhere that the tour had been postponed, you added the same and supplemented your comments with an indication that Soldier Field had also postponed or canceled two other unannounced events.
Not did I "dispute" your posts here several weeks ago indicating that the show would be made up this year, as I already expected, or your follow-up two weeks ago specifying the same date as last year. Indeed, I believed them, or wanted to, despite my general disinclination to believe something simply because someone posted it on the internet. And I remain prepared to believe them today.
What raised my antennae, however, and inclined me towards some additional tire-kicking, was your follow-up indication that your contact said that Live Nation had canceled a press conference about the Stones. As I've already said, that didn't and doesn't make sense to me - LN rival AEG is the tour promoter - and I don't think it should make sense to others either.
Still, I didn't "dispute" your contact's claim per se - I never said it was false - even while saying that I had an indication that might point to an alternate date that I acknowledged could be wrong. Rather, I raised the question and waited to see if there was a satisfactory answer. The same went and still goes for the idea that a press conference would be held to announce a single show on a tour that won't be announced until several weeks hence. While I could come up with a possible explanation for that on my own, I haven't seen a good one from you yet any more than I did to the previous question.
Which, again, is not an assertion that the claim is false, only a reiteration that I have outstanding questions and think you should share them rather than asking us to take the word of the contact of a random anonymous person, getting defensive, suggesting that I am responsible for supplying competing intelligence, and threatening to take your ball and go home.

This is a very entitled mindset.
People who share inside info generally do so without revealing sources, as that inside info will dry up if anyone finds out who’s sharing.
We’re not entitled to any info until the band announces a tour, so enjoy the rumors, and keep an eye open for the actual announcement down the road.

I also have some reason that others don't to believe that they will play another festival next year, but that isn't anything that I'm able to confirm at this point.

They will play the extra added day at Jazz Fest

The afterthought didn't refer to anything I was told, but instead to evidence I went looking for that is also available to anyone else who thinks to do the same, which I seriously doubt anyone has. I have good, non-selfish/parochial reasons not to be more specific about it.

Nice. Extra date is the new opening day. Would be great!

I was referring to May 2, It's not the 25th. Tour starts elsewhere too close to the April 25th "added" date.

Would I be on target in expecting a possibly-first show on the 23rd?

Not if they follow their semi-recent pattern of 3 days off between shows (not including the mid-mini-tour weeklong break). If they play May 2, the 2 shows prior would be April 24 and 28. But what do I know?

Sometimes they take more. Sometimes they take less. I have a reason for asking about the 23rd.

They very rarely take less (I know their last 2 only had a 2 day gap). Overwhelmingly, they do 3 days off more than anything else. So, do you have any inside information or are you just throwing out wild guesses? Say something or don’t. A lot of wishy-washiness coming from you lately.

How do you hold a flight that is not ticketed?

Looks like the thread has a revised title!
BV mentioned spring and early summer. This is consistent with what I had been hearing about a tour in April-June.
The lawyer in me still thinks they're mainly going to make up for the 2023 shows they were supposed (remember, Ronnie said: "committed") to play, with some added dates/changes. We'll see.
