did I miss something here? Can someone point me to a thread? Are they really going to do stadia with no support? Didn't they have openers in Europe last year?

In the U.S. for 2013, there were no supporting acts other than the classic rock tunes blasting from the PA system. Not sure about Europe or 2015, though...

There were opening acts in Europe, and for the outdoor shows in Aus/NZ.

Mick Taylor?

For a stadium show I would expect some openers, unless of course the Stones are gonna play some nice long 3 hours sets which would be friggin' GREAT, but I don't see them pulling it off in the outdoor heat and humidity of the venues on this tour.

There is another thread which basically has no information, a bit of speculation, I expect this thread will be merged into it very soon.

I would think they'd have to announce the opener(s) pretty soon if there are any - we're just over 3 weeks from the opening night.

I'd like to order an Alalbama Shake please....lol

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers feat. Mick Taylor, Eric Clapton, Stevie Winwood and Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart would be some opening act...

2 1 2 0

dont need them , waste of time .

The Temperance Movement was touring the US. Don't know if they still are.

I thought these guys were great openers in my several Euro concerts. It'd be nice to catch them again.

Motorhead would be cool

GNR

North Mississippi Allstars!

Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts!

Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters!

Rather see the band play a couple of hour and a half so sets.

I assume a lot of these shows will be subject to 11:00 PM noise ordinances (unless promoters and Stones threw some weight around, which is conceivable). Usually The Stones allow their openers a good hour long set, so with turn around time, that means maybe 90 minutes for The Stones with openers, so I suspect we won't have them. Hoping for a return to 2 1/2 hour sets by the Stones, with 23 - 25 songs. It's probably too much to hope for, but other artists their age do manage to play longer than 1:45 or 2:00. I guess we'll know in a few weeks.

This would be the only band I would care to see be as an opener on this tour, that thing they do is great.

Besides that, I have made an art form of skipping (done my best to skip) every opening act at every Stones show I have been to in the last 20 years. We dont need no stinkin badgers.

That's easy to do considering the 1 hour & 15 minute break between acts as often the case at Stones shows

If you're going to the Nashville show, it seems a possibility. They are playing nearby before heading to Europe.
