In the past they've taken a full week off between London shows.

just mention again that
Glastonbury festival is 25 to 29 of June

I would expect them to announce and sell 1 or 2 UK shows 1st
Glastonbury is already sold out

Glastonbury means a lot more then a small show

I know the Vienna show is very hard to book because the are reservated for many other great events. But why concentrate on the boring Ernst Happel Stadium, there are other possibilities.
Who knows the Donauinsel? Many great concerts took place here!! That would be a great end to the tour!
[Donauinsel]

In principle there is also the "Flugfeld Wiener Neustadt", where they played in 1998, which is not far from Vienna, if the accessibility of the Happel Stadium is the problem. Reaching the "Flugfeld" from neighbouring countries is perhaps even easier than getting to some location inside Vienna. Also Neil Young and Pink Floyd played there in the 90s. But I don't know if the area is still available for events the size of a Stones show, I haven't heard anything about shows there for a while.

When do we think the announcement will be if we have a full list? 2 weeks?

With so much activity from BV and rumours swirling around I am going to bet that The Stones tongue on their social media will change next week before the first pay day of the year. When the tongue changes it's party time.

I guess then they will start a special promotion again in the cities where they will play. The locals will tell us.

The agenda listed seems pretty well full.

May : 5 concerts for 120 Millions people of which 4 gigs for 60 millions.
June & July : 9 concerts for 255 Millions people

Still hope for a 2nd concert in France. But I am grateful to them to be still on stage.

What was the price order in Spain in 2022? I want to understand what to expect in this approx.

It is hard to see what the venue will be for The Rolling Stones for the tour start in Barcelona. Their first show is said to be May 11, at Camp Neu, but the works there are delayed.

Barcelona’s Camp Nou return pushed back until May at the earliest (The Atletic / NYT)

By Pol Ballús and Colin Millar - Jan 17, 2025

Barcelona’s return to their Camp Nou stadium has been further delayed until May at the earliest.

Work to refurbish the Camp Nou and increase its capacity to 105,000 — the largest in European football — began in June 2023.

The Catalan club’s original plan was to return to playing at their home stadium before the end of 2024, with Barca president Joan Laporta outlining their aim to re-open at a reduced capacity to mark the club’s 125th anniversary on November 29.

In October however, the club said the return would not take place in 2024 and would instead happen in the “second half” of the season, while in November this was pushed back again until at least February — with a further three months now added to the timescale.

Barcelona have been playing their home games at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, the Montjuic venue for the 1992 Olympic Games, while refurbishment work takes place on the Camp Nou.

In an email to the club’s socios, Barcelona confirmed their agreement to play at Montjuic would be extended until April 23, which would encompass their home match against Real Mallorca on that weekend.

Barca’s next scheduled home fixture would be against Real Madrid on May 10, a situation that has been complicated by the Rolling Stones having a scheduled gig at Montjuic on the same weekend as that scheduled fixture.

The club have a contract with Barcelona’s city council to play at the stadium until March 31, but that has now been extended until the end of April as works continues for the Camp Nou’s redevelopment.

Barcelona and builders Limak have agreed a date of June 2026 for the ground to be completed — with current costs for the project at €900million (£766m; $984m at present rates).

Remaining at Montjuic for the remainder of the season is a significant financial blow to Barcelona.

For the 2023-24 season, it was estimated that playing at Montjuic would cost the club about €90million (£75m; $100m at current rates), taking into account lost revenue and money spent to get the ground match-ready.

In September, the price of the Camp Nou reconstruction project was projected to be €900m, with costs for the wider Espai Barca project — of which the stadium renovation is the most significant part — were put at €1.5billion. According to the official Espai Barca website, the project “involves remodelling all the facilities that Barcelona has in the Les Corts neighbourhood of Barcelona, ??and the Johan Cruyff Stadium at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper in Sant Joan Despi”.

Barcelona's Camp Nou reconstruction is 24/7 - but will they really be back this year?

Attendances at Montjuic have been lower than expected and the club have been forced to cut ticket prices in an attempt to boost demand.

Only 17,552 fans out of 80,274 season-ticket holders took up the option to move to Montjuic when the club had made 27,385 places available.

Barcelona are currently third in La Liga, winning 11 of their first 12 matches before picking up just five points in their most recent seven league games.

Hansi Flick’s side are six points behind league leaders Atletico Madrid and five points from second-placed Real Madrid.

Barcelona return to action with a trip to Getafe on January 18 before travelling to Benfica three days later in the Champions League.

Camp Nou delay creates fresh headache for Barcelona
This is the confirmation of something well-expected in Barcelona. The Camp Nou revamp is behind schedule, and right now it remains unclear if Barca will be able to play there before the end of the current campaign.

That is not great news for the club, who had in return to their stadium a resource to increase their matchday revenues for the second half of the season. However, all the rumours coming from the club’s board were pointing in that direction.

Barca’s vice president Elena Fort confirmed in an interview to local radio station RAC1 that there had been some complications with the works, and that as of now there is not an established date to come back at their stadium.

Executive sources keep insisting their plan is to return before the end of the season, even if it is on a one-off occasion. However, there is a looming problem around the corner.

On May 11, a couple of weeks after the end of this new license extension, Barca are expected to host Real Madrid in the second Clasico of La Liga this season.

The game was expected to be played at the Camp Nou, as Barcelona projected to be back at their stadium with limited capacity by the start of 2025. On that very same day, The Rolling Stones will be in the city performing in a concert that was expected to be hosted (guess where) at Montjuic.

Now there is a risk that Barca will still need Montjuic by May 11, and either The Rolling Stones’ concert or the Clasico will have to find a new venue. At this point, and despite club sources insisting with their optimism on being back at the Camp Nou, all scenarios are open.

The only other outdoor venue in Barcelona that I can think of is Parc del Fòrum where Primavera Sound is hosted in early June.

Wouldn’t 17 and 21 May work in any case at Montjuic? 11 May looks early.
Other articles indicate the football game will just have to move- Espanyol new stadium?

I was wondering if the opening show may be delayed until the 13th. That would give them time to put up a stage after the el classico on the 10th. That would have enabled 13/17/21/25...29 in Rome.

But a date of the 13th does not enable a date of 20th for Lisbon, so who knows...

How would Espanyol allow Barca to play home games there? Espanyol are big rivals?

Here's Barca's fixture list. [www.fcbarcelona.com]

Not sure, we’ll see how they deal with all this.
Just can’t see how two major events can go ahead in Barca on the 11th

Own lucky Dip button? That sounds interesting to me. can you tell a little bit more? lucky dip sale in ,2022 was rather stressful.

Sorry, button for Presale, not Lucky Dip. But Lucky Dip is always stressful but chances are good.

More info in the Madrid link here:

About the Lucky Dip - have you ever had it while going to the show alone? How it is handled since normally LD is a pair of tickets, is that correct?

Just some speculation;

Could it not be that Lisbon and Seville where the backups of Barcelona in case this would happen?

Robbie Williams is sure to perform at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen on 19 June. I wonder if it's realistic that the Stones can perform there on 17 June, but if it works out, I'll be very happy.

They'll probably use the same stage

With so much dates being out and open an anouncement must be in the works. Most of the times they anounce monday, wednesday presale, friday public sale.

Bet it will be anouncement tommorrow or (probably) the 27th.

At Parken they dont need the frame of the stage, they can hang the lights, PA and screens from the roof. Pretty much like an arena but bigger scale.

Depends on the stage... In AMS they did this in 2022. But don't think the 2024 stage can be used for this.

They even did hang the No Filter Stage in Amsterdam 2017

I just booked an extremely cheap train ticket from Hamburg to Munich an back.

With so many questions unanswered - maybe an announcement later on. In 2018 they announced Feb 26 with a tour start May 17. And back then they were younger. :-)

Maybe the tour start ends up being Lisbon...

Do you mean Barcelona will not happen at all? Then hopefully they add some 2 or 4 shows elsewhere. That would be even better. Many locations are still waiting for the Stones.

No concerts listed provisionally on mu Twickenham events roster for June/July this year so definitely won’t be there for the Stones show. I’m guessing Hyde Park or Wembley stadium are the best bets?
