I hear Mick Taylor is available, due to a recent change in his schedule.

Warm Up Acts for the Zip Code Tour

Seems obvious they are going to have some but I've heard very little about who is scheduled to play. I can't imagine they haven't all been chosen yet and that word hasn't leaked out on the names of the bands.

I'm guessing Alabama Shakes might get the slot in Nashville since they play Bonnaroo in Tennessee on June 12 and have a break in the schedule before heading to the UK for a June 24 show.

Anybody heard any rumors or have solid info on the warmup acts? Any other guesses or hopes on who's going to play where?

peace

bump..

Seems like we should be hearing something soon. This lack of information is a bit disturbing. Maybe waiting till (most) the ticket are sold so they have negotiating power on the warmup bands fee? A hot band could indeed help sales in places like Columbus where tickets are not selling as fast as planned.

Can't recall what the precedent for the time this info is announced with Stones shows....but I'm ready now.

peace

Okay if you're going to open for The Stones, you gotta be pretty damn good and get the crowd pumped up. George Thorogood & The Destroyers/Lynyrd Skynyrd/The Boss/John Fogerty would be good bands to open for The Stones I think

Aside from Indy. I don't recall any mention of opening acts being advertised.
