Quotetimbernardis QuoteTopi I personally don't think the Stones themselves will ever announce a "final"/"last" show. Not even if they fully knew/planned that it would be their last one.

Quotebitusa2012 Quoterichie26188 I guess we won’t hear much now until after Christmas. If we are lucky we’ll get either a few Europe or US dates next year, anything beyond that is a bonus.

I do think the band would want to tour Asia / Australasia and / or South America but the logistics may not be in their favour given their age and post

QuoteStonedRambler Quotepftw04 I personally feel that ROLLING STONES will not be touring next year. As Mick Jagger will be turning 80. And I cannot think or imagine that Mick Jagger will be dancing around the stage at 80. That will be too much to ask from the front man.Also Keith Richards will be 79. So considering there age I feel 2022 maybe there last. So at 79 Mick can still do it but at 8

After the release on Blue & Lonesome in December 2016, The Stones usually featured just two of its tracks - Ride 'Em On Down and Just Your Fool - as a 'twofer' on their next tour - the 2017 No Filter tour which took place that fall in the US. They usually played these songs at numbers four and five on each set list. On a couple of occasions they played Hate To See You Go in pla

Whatever happens, future performance-wise, I hope it is because The Stones WANT it to happen. And not because the band is leveraged against some kind of projected future earning, or tied into an unbreakable contract to play until they drop! Why do I fear this? Simply that, because of The Stones enormous commercial and financial appeal, some faceless financial operation we never heard of has ma

QuoteStonedRambler QuoteGerardHennessy In fact my reasoning is totally based on what has been happening, or more correctly NOT happening, since 2006.

The creative fire has gone out! That is NOT a criticism. Far from it. But it IS why there has not, and almost certainly will not, be any new album of original material. It would simply be WAY more bother than they are now minded to give to it. At this stage, in their very late 70s in Mick and Keith's case, the energy, enthusiasm and desire to get stuck into crafting an album of new mat

QuoteBeastyBurdeny QuoteJAF4JJF I saw an article from the UK a little over a month ago that there are plans for Australia! I would love that! Is DailyMail a credible news source? No!

I'd go further and say that seeing such a story in the Daily Mail is almost a guarantee it will NOT happen...

The fact is that, for many thousands of people, Stones concerts are EVENTS rather than purely musica

QuoteGeirGG I don’t agree at all. The band I saw nine times this summer showed no signs of slowing down, and looked more vital than ever. They will do whatever they want to do in six months or a year - and their choice will not be based on their age. Retirement and old age is still not on the cards. Long may they continue to look - and feel - vital. And if that takes them much further afield in

It's all ifs, buts and maybes. They might do this. They might do that. They might do the other. Who knows? Of course it is fun to speculate. And who can blame those in less frequently toured territories from wanting to see the band in person. But we need to remember that next year both Mick and Keith turn 80. And Ronnie - The Kid - bless him, will hit 76 in June 2023. Let us hope their he

I have no doubt at all that some version of a Virtual Stones Experience will be set up. For a commercially-savvy operation like Rolling Stones Inc. - or whatever it is called - it makes perfect sense. Indeed, for all we know, it may already be in hand, while Mick, Keith and Ronnie are available to contribute to it. Views will vary enormously on its suitability, validity, relevance, appropriate
