I came across an incredible flight deal to India roundtrip out of Toronto. I want to take it but fear I would miss part of a potential tour since the ticket is in May for $400 USD.

It's on Virgin Atlantic so there's a layover in London both ways. I guess I could just take the London leg if there were a tour and lose the rest of the ticket at that price.

I would closely check details on this. Usually, if you no-show for the second leg of a multi leg itinerary, will automatically cancel out the return legs.

A lot of artists announced European tours in the last week.. Clapton, Guns 'n Roses, Deep Purple..

I guess that the tour announcement will happen in January or later, as the 2025 cancelled tour would be announced in February for the start in late May.

Clapton: only one show in a stadium (17th May Munich Olympiastadium - wrong stadium I guess)
Deep Purple: smaler venues
G&R: indoor shows, no stadiums, one festival
Oasis might announce European dates

Clapton's doing the Olympiahalle, not the Olympic Stadium.

- Foo fighters
- system of a down
- the weeknd
- my chemical romance
- maiden
- linkin park
- zach Bryan


While not a lot of stones fan overlap, venues likely common (eg sotd at spurs stadium and stade de France, weeknd at stade de France and so on)

Italy seems will be granted two shows (venues unrevealed, yet)

Late January would be 3 months ahead of a possible tour start around May. Kind of like 2022 - tickets in March, tour started in June.

If bands are using promoter / local staging then you can double up events and not need several days to a week to turn over the venue. It happens in the US from time to time.

Yes

2 italy shows seems too much. Could be 2 options ofcourse. But who knows

Why not... For this year three Soain shows (and Lisbon) were speculated.

Perhaps not if one of those venues is the Colosseum.

System of a Down can fill a stadium??

Yes, most of their shows are sold out at the moment.

After all this years in IORR I can't understand this immense speculation and guessing and hearsay business prior to tour announcements.Pages over pages of nothing solid to rely on. It's neat in a way. Like children talking about what they probably will get for Christmas. I know that all those posts are an enthusiastic impression of looking forward to a possibly tour. A form of anticipation. But why not just wait and see and celebrating the announced tour-plan and discuss and post than on things which will really happen. Just a though. Never mind.

Few reasons;

- Sharing rumours can have the effect that information pieces are getting together so rumours are becoming more solid. Sometimes they start small and then become solid.
- Rumours provide opportunity for die hard fans to make arrangements before prices go up a lot.
- We are fans. Even a rumour of a show in your country is something that could make you happy and excited.


It's basicly just fans helping fans. For me; I never understood people who don't understand the speculation and say 'just wait and see the announcement'. Even more I never understand people complaining about this in the topic that is specificaly ment for talking about a RUMOURED tour.

Well, what should we all do with our time? Work? ;-)

Isn't this the point of forums? Discussion of the band. Rumours included. It would be boring otherwise.

How rumoursful of caschimann.

I have booked fully refundable hotel rooms based on rumors. Once the tour is announced, the hotel prices jump up and the rooms sell out quick. Rumors can be quite useful sometimes.

Rumours are fun and can be useful. But I also see people spreading rumors based on nothing. Someone on an obscure Facebook group says 'I heard from an insider bla bla bla' and others on Facebook and forum members here pick it up, and snowballing takes place. Oh well, that's how it works I guess.

...and once the annoucment is made, why bother commenting at that point? We would know the dates, venues...no need to discuss further......

This happened last year too: the other bands book stadiums first and announce their shows earlier than the stones

This initially complicates the Stones' schedule for finding stadiums and cities for the tour
(as happened last year), and furthermore, if they do confirm it, it could affect ticket sales since many people have probably already spent their money buying tickets for other shows

I know many people mentioned "insurance reasons," but announcing tours SO CLOSE to their start date doesn't seem like a good idea either

Yeah, it's crazy. Last month, Rush announced fall 2026 tour dates, into December of 2026. For the 2024 US tour, Stones tix went on sale November 29th, 2023...with an opening tour date of 4/28, 2024, lasting into mid-july. To wait until late january/ February 2026 to announce a tour starting in late April / early May is insane (i think). So many tours have been, and continue to be announced next week. But then again, they are the Stones, and will do as they wish......

Die Toten Hosen - once support act for the Stones in Düsseldorf and very well known in Argentina - announced stadium + open air shows for 2027.
