Month: November 2023

Across the net, fans discuss access to tickets, the prices (higher than ever) and presale codes.

Reports tell all about the things that happen during hunts like those now. Waiting in the queue, broken connections, seat-maps not showing up and all other kinds of mishaps. Of course, if everything went smooth and well, the pressure to tell about this is not that big in comparison. However, prices like $ 700.- or more for the pit or more for one of the packages will be discussed again like before every tour the band has done since the sixties, hehehe …

A good idea as an alternative is to check out the official Stones site and wait for the button for Lucky Dip tickets to appear there. Ok, there’s no guarantee that you’ll get great seats (but you may) but then you’re there at the show (that’s what counts IMHO) and for a cool price, too.

Codes:

Fan Club – DIAMONDS
Live Nation Presale – BACKSTAGE
SoFi Stadium – RAMBLER
AEG Presale – RAMBLER

Here are some AARP codes:

Finally, the presale for the HD Tour 2024 starts.

I just got the presale code sent via E-Mail from uk-umg.com.

I reads “DIAMONDS”

As for the code from the AARP, that seems to be “FLASH123“.

… is coming up and the rumours keep builing up which is very promising!

I’m definitely not a fan of tabloids anf The Sun definitely belongs into that category. However, yesterday evening, they published the following headline:

“STONES ROLLING AGAIN – The Rolling Stones reveal new project after chart topping album“

Not only that, they also write about a huge tour with dates stretching not only across the US, but could even include the UK!

So in this case, I really hope we can trust these lines; meanwhile, ultimateclassicrock.com too, points towards an announcement which can soon be expected. Maybe tomorrow, 2PM CET…

Seems like we have a date for a possible official tour announcement by the Stones:

Next Tuesday, November 21, 5am (Las Vegas) – hopefully the official announcement for the 2023 Hackney Diamonds Tour of the US!

The shape of next year’s Hackney Diamond Tour 2024 is getting clearer.
We have strong rumors for a tour with 16 venues and a possible numer of 20 gigs for this tour! The tour could start in April and may last until July 2024!

Although not officially announced, we can expect this list to (hopefully) become true, judging fromrumors and advertisings

Here’s the list of the venues in alphabethical order:

• Atlanta
• Chicago
• Cleveland
• Denver
• East Rutherford
• Foxboro
• Glendale
• Houston
• Las Vegas
• Los Angeles
• New Orleans
• Orlando
• Philadelphia
• Santa Clara
• Seattle
• Vancouver

In places like Chcago and LA, two gigs might be possible, so there’s a list of ca. 20 gigs for the Hackney Diamonds tour next year…

The official Stones site already teases us to sign up in order not to miss any big (sic!) announcements:

Check denverpost.com for this: “Cryptic banner hints at Rolling Stones’ return to Denver in 2024 – A mysterious banner has appeared at Mile High, as it did 5 years ago” or the houstonchronicle.com: “Are the Rolling Stones coming to Houston? Two sculptures offer a clue“

denverpost.com: “Are the Rolling Stones coming to Denver’s Mile High Stadium? Sign(s) point to yes.“

CBS news: “What does this Rolling Stones banner hanging on Empower Field at Mile High mean?“

It’s not only soccer but Formula One, too

astonmartinf1.com: AMR23 takes to Las Vegas with The Rolling Stones: To celebrate the launch of The Rolling Stones’ latest album, Hackney Diamonds – and an exciting incoming announcement by the legendary rockers – the AMR23 has been adorned with The Rolling Stones’ iconic tongue and lips logo for the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

THX to Daniel for the tip!

Hi there, folks – sorry for the silence; but here we go for the next bunch of  good news…

Beatles and Stones meet in some Top Ten lists, which is kind of weird in a way – again they seemed to have agreed not to clash with each other, just like in the good ol’ days, seperating their new singles by some days…

And: Keith of course promises that the band will produce more music until they drop: “‘There’s plenty more material!’ The Rolling Stones will make more albums until they ‘drop’” => music-news.com

The next tour: rumors tell of some more or less 20 possible gigs next spring / summer in the US of A…

Mick spend some days in India – for Diwali, festival of lights…

Mick enjoyed some free time in India; the Hindi message reads “Thanks and Hello India. Away from daily chores; I felt very happy to come here. , With much love to you all, Mick.“

Some days before, he met up with Martin Scorsese:

Nice find: Todd S. posted a really cool video on X (Twitter): “Keith Richards recording his cameo for THE SIMPSONS. This is fantastic.”
Thx Jose from [UC] for this!
