MJ has done hours of interviews for Foreign Tongues - working hard at promotion both sides of the Atlantic. I think far more interviews and time, than I've seen around any launch, tour or album, before. I'm interested that, with some obvious limits, he has covered a lot of ground and been fairly open. He hasn't been too irritated talking about the Sixties, often a redline for hi

Chanel Haynes and her 3 piece band performing rock, blues and soul classics and originals in an intimate, acoustic setting. Chanel, who will be touring with Ronnie Wood this summer, will be performing for the first time ever in Amsterdam. The acoustic performance will contain blues, soul and rock songs. A mix of classics and originals, with of course a number of Rolling Stones songs! Link

If this is it, The End of Stones touring, it has been a fantastic run . So many great times to thank the Stones and their team; shared with friends and family. Branson the last show?. …… if it is then it was a great one for those of us lucky enough to be there . We all missed their first show!!

This is an excellent record of what is probably the last US Tour that the Stones will do. (I just can't see them doing a 2027 tour aged 84 - hope I'm wrong!). The photos show an intimate view of the main characters onstage, in LP-sized format. Just considering the number of very well printed photos it is a super momento for any fan - whether they saw every show, just one, or just cou

Keeping this thread on topic: After 4 weeks of recording studio time in London, the new album should be ready by this autumn - so we could expect a release and maybe even launch events like the Hackney Empire press event and Racket mini-gig. Universal will certainly want to make a big fuss of this to boost sales. Assuming everyone is fit and well, we can then hope for some gigs in 2026 (Eur

2025 is the year for finishing and launching another new album. Hence no tour, despite one being planned. Another album is a long-term legacy piece of work. They must be thinking very seriously about legacy now, and there is a limit to how long they want to work each year. Lets face it most people retire from work 10-20 years younger. A tour is great, but won't be there for another 50

At this stage of their career, and in this market for music, they will make much more money from gigs than releasing an album. Even after all the costs of touring they must get close to £10M each from a Tour. However... if they are thinking more about their long term legacy, and who wouldn't when aged 80+, then new music will be the priority. This year is a repeat of 2023 - complete a

Quotebv We are talking about insurance of a tour - of USD 10 million ticket sales per show, multiplied by 14 or 20, i.e. total og 1.4 - 2 billion US dollar. Not really a regular car or personal insurance. I think its $140-200M, not in the billions. But the point is well made - the chances of one show being cancelled, let alone a whole tour, means the premium must be more than the revenue from 1

I understand that the Stones have decided to self-insure for recent tours. That would explain why in the US last year they carried on even when Keith and then Mick were clearly suffering from illnesses. It also explains why there are more, longer gaps, in touring schedule - the extra cost of keeping the whole touring team on the road is clearly assessed to be less than the cost of losing one

QuoteStonedRambler For what it’s worth. Matt Clifford wrote on Instagram „Looking forward to be meeting up with the band again soon“ So they must be doing something. If they don’t tour then that probably means studio time! They don't need to meet until one month before a Tour so it must be studio time. I still think the "tour off" decision was to finish the next album.

I wrote this before - I think like in 2023 Mick wants to finish the next album before touring. It mnay be about their legacy - an album lasts for decades, a Tour for a few weeks.

Quotegrzegorz67 The Times of London now carrying the 'story'! It's behind a paywall so can't see if they've taken it from here or not. For a Tour that was never announced to make the front page of The Times website is very, very unusual. Shows the comms power of IORR, Shidoobee and social media. But it also says something about the Stones fame and the touring era

Not a very clear article, with the obvious error that there were 20 shows in 2024 - not 18. And of course the Stones are three people... The $10M per show is the gross estimate - out of which the tour costs (people, kit, hotels, travel, etc. etc.) need to be paid. A figure of $1M per Stone per show could be nearer the personal income. Then of course there is the Merch - must be $30 profit p

It was a great evening: very entertaining. The focus on the Havers family highlighted the wider society changes at the time. The Stones content and music was very good... except that the (generally) good backing band played a chorus of JJF very differently (like different chords) than I have ever heard. Why?

I was lucky enough to see every show, and it is incredibly difficult to decide on the best. I chose the best 5 based on: setlist, audience and band enthusiasm, quality of playing, emotional feeling after the show. None of the first few made the list, because of the shorter set list and Keith's "cold's" impact. Interestingly the "second" show of multi-city shows d

There will be 2 or 3 days of production rehearsals in Houston and a day off before the first gig, plus a day travelling from the studio rehearsal location. There are also 4 to 6 new songs to learn well - they played 4 in The Racket and will want to try out a couple more, all with the full band and new backing singer (Chanel). So I'm guessing 3 or 4 weeks studio rehearsals, towards the end
