I took my girlfriend last time (Sixty Tour), but she didn't like it. Now I want to visit a Stones concert again next year, but I can't do it to her anymore, but I don't know any fans my age or younger (I'm 38..). Grrr! Maybe I should force her, I went with her to see Taylor Swift too!

Just get a ticket for yourself, then.
Either that or go with someone else.

Does it mean Olympic Stadium? Would be much better than the Circo Massimo. It will be pretty hot there in July/August.Quote

Google translated for you -
many are expecting the new dates for the European stages soon, and according to our sources the Italian dates are already being organised, one of which will almost certainly be at the Olimpico in Rome"

There's also a third option.

I am thinking this will be different.
A two part tour of Europe with a nice break in the middle.
A second part UK tour with several concerts throughout.
The cost of travel within the UK is more feasible and people will travel.
My guess is 15 shows for the European and 10 for UK with the last shows at Wembly.
I said I am guessing.

Probably the 1960s last time they did ten dates in the uk- even 1990 was only 8 nights I think (and 20gbp or so a ticket).

Its all very well listing the relatively large number of different venues in London, the band will want to avoid clashing with other big acts performing at the same time. Oasis and Coldplay will attract reasonably significant numbers of punters who might otherwise go to see The Stones.
Oasis are the really big counter attraction given the fact it will be their reunion apprearance. Of course dyed-in-the-wool Stones fans will go to see them regardless of any counter attractions. But the money-people in the Stones business operation will want to maximise attendance to the greatest degree they can. And that means getting as many casual fans to buy tickets as possible.
There is a huge amount of choice available to music fans in the UK each summer. The Stones cannot simply take it for granted they will pull a huge audience regardless. They will need to schedule cleverly. Assuming, of course, that health, personal circumstances, and the tyranny of the ageing process do not intrude upon things before next year comes along...
Stones won't be able to pull off another full UK tour like in 2018, as they will need to cover the whole Europe with like 15ish dates. I see them sticking only to 2 London shows + maybe one more (Glasgow or Manchester?), at absolute maximum. In such case I don't think pulling crowd of 120-140k in London would be a huge issue for them. Nobody is expecting them to plan 5-10 nights at Wembley, as they don't want to become a residency band, at least not yet.

I was surprised that the Hackney Diamonds tour was announced so early - November, I believe. So much depends on insurance, which is expensive. Insuring a bunch of old guys is risky. We had one tour delayed when Mick had heart valve surgery, but it was able to go ahead with a few months delay. Then last year the tour was scrapped just days before the announcement because someone (Mick?) didn’t pass the insurance medical. Much can go wrong between announcement and hitting the stage. Maybe they were trying to capitalize on the success of Hacnkey Diamonds and decided the risk was worth it. I’m sure someone knows more about this and can comment, but an early announcement would surprise me

how would you see it if, suppose, the rumours are true and they release NEW album shortly, then promote it where?
