I don't think anyone knows for sure but it's sort of the reasonable conclusion to come to, no ? If anything it seems that it's what they did in 2012 with the O2 and NY shows and since that went well (better than expected?) they got the machine going again.

The weakest link is now Sir Michael. The "bug" on his voice seems to be chronic. Which means he can manage a few concerts but sooner or later the "bug" will reappear.
So I think we will have seen the last of long tours for The Rolling Stones. It's not doable anymore.

"chronic" ? Because one show in two years of touring got canceled?! Looks like a case of the [www.youtube.com]

It seems that Keith could release his album sometime between March and June and play a couple of gigs on his own and Mick could finish the Sticky Fingers re-issue for a mid-year release too.
Touring is another story.

Well it's a "story" we've been seeing for the past two years now so it's probably time to give it a bit of a rest, the 50th concept is a bit "stale"...The Keith solo LP and the SF project would be a nice change of pace before getting going again but of course they'd need to find a good "incentive" other than money.

BV, any news about SA, NA and EU?

LATEST UPDATE:

The rumoured shows in South America will not go on as rumored for Feb/Mar/Apr 2015. May be they might get something organized for later in 2015, but don't count on it. As of now, the last show of the tour will be in Auckland New Zealand Saturday Nov 22, 2014.

TOUR DATES - Confirmed and rumoured : [www.iorr.org]

PS. The main problem seems to be the economy in Argentina. They really want to go there, BA would be the fundament of the tour, but right now it is dificult to do the funding as it seems. May be later, say Nov/Dec 2015 some say.

PPS. They did Europe and North America already, so unless they get bored I don't see any more shows now in these markets. May be later.

Any rumours of a London show while the are so well oiled ?

So it might be true that the recording sessions this December happen and they will make another album released next summer and a tour promoting the album in the fall like they did in 1997, 2002, 2005. But with fewer shows of course.

At the same time, I was wondering how the fans in Peru & Chile could afford ticket prices. I think the fare would have been reduced to accomodate eagerly awaiting fans.


I have a quesion & comment:



Why would the economy of one country compromise an entire continental tour ?

Also -The Stones recent North American last year did not span U.S. southern states.

All this talk about London shows...

They were supposed to close out the tour. But now there is nothing to close out, as long as they still work on South America options. May be later. Everything is open now. As we all know, they don't HAVE TO tour anymore. But they love it, only problem is they need a reason. They have been all over now, except for South America and Africa, more or less. Everybody who can travel with a flight of say a few hours could have seen them now, except for these two areas. London got two times Stones, O2 and Hyde Park, also Glastonbury. I don't understand why they are expected to perform in London every year. They don't play London every year. But may be of course. It's all open.

I notice the tread has change it's now not 2012. - 2015 rumoured shows. Think be knows this it for a while

Now I'm kicking myself for not going to Australia, I thought I'd wait for South America instead.

To everyone that's there or going enjoy the rest of the shows in Australia and New Zealand.

BV, what about rumours on stadium shows in NA around May-June? Stones are hugely rumoured for Rock In Rio in Las Vegas in May'15... That plus, let's say, Bonaroo in June, would alone make a good excuse to go out in the States and throw a few stadium shows in between...

Also, I'd say success of this year's European tour could lead them to add more shows in 2015... Let's be fair, they haven't played some of the continent (especially Eastern Europe) and the demand seems to still be there.

From Keith's recent interview it seemed that they will certainly spend a good part of 2015 on the road... So I'm not sure why they could have changed their plans.

If the discussion is South America in the second half of 2015, then what would be the logic in folding up until then? Doesn't add up. There's something to be said for the energy being so palpable only since Europe. No--latter 2015 is too long in the recliner. It would be a squander. Holiday, maybe some toying time in the studio to give them a "reason" and then a return to the States springtime, summer next year. Bonnaroo sounds about right.

London, well you don't know if you can wait untill 2016, at that CW is 75...

A few more conserts in their hometown could be likely. It is not Paris, Berlin or Madrid, it's London, the guys hometown, where they grew up and started playing, and as I could see in Hyde Park last years, the English loved it...

<<So I'm not sure why they could have changed their plans.>>

Who knows indeed, but this insurance case probably doesn't help, even though the amount is a drop in the ocean for them.

I think this insurance claim thing has really annoyed RS.com, as a lot of personal stuff has come out, and that is just not right in my opinion.

Doesn't effect their enthusiasm to play live gigs, as they are definitely on a roll at the moment, and I'm sure they want to keep on keepin' on.

Just got to sort out all the red tape and 2015 will be on at some time,but who knows when and where.

A new studio album would be one perfect reason to play any venue that they like, anew! What better reason could there be?

Any reliable source for that or just a guess? What georgelicks posted the other day looks like the more likely scenario : Keith solo release and Mick spending time on the SF reissue.

I don't know what they will record but I heard around here that there are studio recordings planned in December. Don't know who posted it..

This website says YES

I remember reading this some months ago on this thread.

its not that far fetched-mgm resorts own that piece of property where the festival is going to be held-outside of a couple of shows at the hard rock they've hosted every stones gig in las vegas since 1994.

Why is McCartney touring South and Middle America in 2014 then?

Brazil (6)
Chile (2)
Uruguay (1)
Peru (1)
Ecuador (1)
Costa Rica (1)

So it´s all about wanting to do it. A tour would be possible without Argentinian shows as you can see. But why not play 5 shows in BA and
make no money? Where´s the problem? Get back the money in the
States!

No one really thinks that economy gets better in a few months time. Anywhere.

As for recording in December - the official reason given for not rescheduling Hanging Rock was 'prior commitments' or something similar. Not sure if that actually means any real band commitments though.
I personally doubt they are up for another months work straight off this tour though- but boy are they sounding great at the moment!

I just noticed that the 'rumoured' shows for South America have gone from the iorr showpage.......[www.iorr.org] ..........what happened? who's said what to unrumour them?.......

If you read B.V report on the show from Auckland then he says there will be more next year.

You can't get out BIG dollars out of Argentina, that's the main problem, 5 shows were like 25 million dollars, an impossible mark to get out of the country right now with all the controls that the goverment put during the last 2 years.

Where in the Auckland thread did you see this Nate? I've seen some BV comments in other threads though like the 2012-2014 world tour thread. What a great 2 year run the Stones just gave us!!
