Was just thinking I don't believe Charlie would have signed off of the unpleasant 2022 stage design (he was always in involved in that side of things). Be interesting to see what they do next year in that regard.

i was also wondering about the stage

any of you in the know hear anything about it?

I’ll try to hear a bit around and see if I can get any details! I work with a lot of the people who’s been the stage crew and riggers for some of the tours

Maybe I should bring my goalie gear.

IORR VS Shidoobee game of shinny would be a highlight of the tour. I'll bet Steve Jordan could fill the other net

Pickleball round robin tourney?

thanks i'd appreciate that

I enjoyed 2022 stage -- I suspect it wasn't captured well in photos for folks who didn't see it in person.

I need to see dates but likely 6 to 8 will be my number. Even though its close really want to avoid No Fi stadium.

Anyone think the Bowery Presents teaser could actually be a small venue show for this tour? My thought initially was they just posted it because of the Racket show but I see they have Forest Hills Stadium. Capacity says 13,000. I think Waldbühne held about 20,000. Just a thought

They are an independent promoter but affiliated with AXS/AEG. I think they are just sharing the video, I wouldn't assume they are going to be touring their club circuit.

I've of two minds on this. As I said previously, I agreed that TBP were likely just sharing the video. I also dismissed out of hand the idea of a Forest Hills show.

However.

The teaser was posted by 16 venues (and two affiliates of the Orlando venue), at least two of which we expect to get two shows, and just two AEG affiliates or divisions - the Bowery Presents and AEG Presents Southwest. It was not shared by the main AEG accounts, their touring division Concerts West, their ticketing partner AXS, or other affiliates or regional offices like Goldenvoice in California, AEG Presents Las Vegas (though they did repost the Stones' signup message), AEG Rocky Mountains in Denver (though they did post a picture of the tongue on the outside of Mile High stadium with an eyes emoji), AEG Presents Cleveland, or PromoWest in Columbus, etc.

This makes me question whether those two regional partners/offices were in fact teasing shows at venues to be revealed. The Dallas-based SW office presents shows in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Clearly, that would cover Jazz Fest, which traditionally reveals its lineup in early-to-mid January. I think it would also cover the Ridgedale venue, just over the Arkansas border, though it had nothing to tease today itself.

Bowery has also presented shows in New Orleans in the past through its Atlanta office, but is based in NYC and Boston, and presents shows from Virginia to Maine, as well as in Western NY, and not only at the amphitheater in Rochester, though I'd imagine the stadium in Buffalo would similarly promote something from its own account.

What piqued my interest was their amphitheater at the raceway in Virginia. While Richmond isn't the sort of market that would make a smaller show economical or otherwise attractive, the track itself could be another story, assuming the infrastructure were able to handle a concert setup, splitting the difference between D.C. and Raleigh. I'm sure this is just a bit of fanciful imagineering, but they did play the Brickyard that one time.

And as for Forest Hills, they did appear there in '66, as immortalized in the present venue design, and it's also a storied tennis location for one of Mick's old aliases.

In theory, Bowery could also be posting for a stadium that lacks a social media presence separate from that of its tenant. That's technically true, for example, of M&T Bank Stadium, and Camden Yards for that matter, though the Maryland Sports Authority account appears to communicate on their behalf.

Commonwealth Stadium also seems to lack a social media presence apart from the Elks, though that seems very far afield for Bowery.

Over in Phantasyland there's a compilation of what the tour could possibly look like, but they have too many shows and not enough off days in between

For reference - in 2018 the 2019 US Tour was announced on November 19 (the Monday of Thanksgiving week) and tickets went on sale November 30.

"19 shows in 16 cities. NY LA and Chicago two shows"

If the first show is 24th April (as has been suggested), and the last date is 17th July (per IORR tour page), 19 shows would suggest three longer breaks during the tour.

From rumoured dates I've seen, the three off nights would need to be something like 19 May (after 6 shows), 4 or 7 June (after 3 or 4 more shows), and 23 June (after 3 shows, leaving 6 shows to the end of the tour). Not sure if I buy that or not. Perhaps there are only two breaks and the early June date gets filled in? But, then again, I'm not 80 years old.

The cities that get double dates can be done with only two days off.

I thought the three day breaks were because of the performers rather than the equipment??

Anyway, BV has just updated the tour page and is showing Houston as 28th April, so maybe the tour is starting later than initially rumoured, which would fit the 19 dates info. But if there are two breaks, the week before Philly doesn't make sense to me, as that's pretty much exactly halfway through.

2 breaks suggests to me something like 19 May and 19 June (5 shows, then 7, then 7). Hope I'm proven wrong and there's only one break and 20 shows though!

Had my CHI dates pinned down ok.

Aw, man…hoping Buddy opens for them in Chicago! Or at least does a guest spot.

I booked a few nights in LA just in case. Quite shady neighborhood close to the stadium. Most of them are rated poorly at booking. Anyway - cant wait for the announcement and excitement.

wow . . . . Ladies & Gentlemen, the Rolling Stones. One more time for all the glory and all the memories.

Looks like there could be two breaks. One after SEA, another one after PHI.

Woz indicated that the tour started 4/24 - later specifying Houston - and that it would include 20 shows, not 19, and he has not posted anything to the contrary, so I guess a judgment has nevertheless been made that both were incorrect? I'm not sure who declared that there would be 19 shows or of their reliability.

I too expected Seattle on 5/15 for a long time based on both the prior tour plan - which put them there more than a month later, no? - and evidence about next year that others may be relying upon as well. But there is also similar evidence for a later date that others may not be seeing. Are others sure about that date, when average low temperatures remain in the mid-high 40s/circa 8.5 C? And, if Topi is correct about the timing of the breaks, that they're going to take a break after a Wednesday show?

It's BV who said 19 shows in 16 cities, so...

Looks like Bjornulf will miss strawberry season again. I hope he can settle for strawberry jam.
