Is cardiff the end of their world tour? I think it looks like a lot Licks at the exception of Latin America. And that is a very short detour, 7 or 8 cities. I thought the Stones wanted to go to China? DO you think they will go after Cardiff like they did with Licks and Hong Kong? September or October?
Well, about USA, I think this could be the first time they back to USA, once they end in Europe (No Security is other theme).... so, I doubt they will do it now...
And about Europe.... well, we need dates for Athens, Rome, Belgrade, I´m sure we will have some others shows in Netherlands, I still hope some Wembley Arena... mostly of this shows could happen in September... At least, I think so...
Like with the Licks tour, I believe they have plans for 5-10 shows in Philly, MSG, Boston, Chi arenas to close the tour in September. But what happened with Licks was that Mick lost his voice two times so they had to re-schedule 3 shows and add a few more to get the re-scheduling profitable. So there went the US shows 2003. I did actually have a list of them.
If everything is going well and they don't get any delays then may be US will get the closing arena shows. But then again if they sell millions of tickets in Spain and Italy and Greece then may be they just keep touring there in September. A Stones tour is not a fixed plan. Or if something happens, delays, accidents or whatever, then they need September in Europe. It is a flexible plan where they release shows and take it where it is most popular.

not the case from what I've heard....
I expect a short tour of North America in the fall
There were plans to play more US shows immediately after BOTH Euro tours in 1998 and 2003
As Bjornulf says, Mick's throat problems prevented the 2003 from continuing for longer than it did. They would have almost certainly have been playing into 2004 otherwise
As long as the ticket sales numbers in Europe won't get any better, I suppose they won't add shows in September. They more likely will play some Asia and US dates.
They did, but the plan was probably to hit the States soon after the European leg ended. But by then they had to make up for some cancelled shows, due to Jagger's throat problems. So no US dates...
I say either a No security type tour in the US starting in jan. 07. Since they will most likley take a break after Aug or early sept. Or if that dosent happen new Album and new wourld tour in fall of 08 through 09.
anyone know why they only play toronto once? well i mean if you dont count rehearsals...i think that if they do the return they should play toronto...and play hand of fate
