LICKS. Few cities no shows in South America, Mexico, NZ, Australia, mainland China.
ABB: More new cities. NZ. Australia, South America, China, Puerto Rico, Mexico City, Monterrey Mexico, new cities in Japan, Russia first time in 8 years, Athens first time in 8 years, Norway first time in 8 years. Portugal and Switzerland confirmed now and not as late additions.
No shows have been cancelled. Read the IORR pages properly. I list a RUMOURED show because the venue or city have been LOOKED INTO and may get to be a show. They look at different options. A show never booked and never contracted are not cancelled if I simply remove them from the rumoured list. If you can't read the IORR list without getting upset with it just read what you find officially on RS.com and you will have less worries but also less information about what will happen eventually.
I think this tour is great. More people get to see the Stones. More new cities. More new countries. Bigger crowds and more fun. New people that never could see the Stones. If the Stones wanted to make money they would not take their tour 10 hours flying down to Buenos Aires for 2 shows at ticket price 40 us dollars but rather made 2 more shows at MSG at 250 dollars average ticket price. Very simple. Or two more shows in any major US city. Or two more shows in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain or any other market were tickets are selling hot hot hot.
This tour is for everybody, and with such a big operation you just have to be patient while they build it and makes it all OFFICIAL city by city!!!
