Month: December 2023

Since some time, rumours tell of another tour The Rolling Stones will add after the US HD-Tour 2024

This could happen in fall 2024 and could be a tour of the EU. And not only this, but tour dates in Australia were also mentioned.

As always, we don’t have any official note about these possibilities. What we do have, however, is that the band likes to add tourdates after the US tour but has also plans to go into the studio in order to finish the next album.

Mick usually says that he hopes (!) the Stones could visit Europe for another tour next year.

Meanwhile, rumors tell about venues already booked for next year’s fall!

German radio station SWR3 has a nice page with 3 parts of an interview with Mick (thankfully they left the English without German overdubs) from around December 8th. There he says that he is sure that the next tour will be a European tour but that he doesn’t think it will happen in 2023. (Well that must have been a mistake; he must have meant 2024). Instead, he said, he thinks they will go into the studio after the US tour.

And this would leave further tour plans to 2025… well, let’s hope for the best! Already this far, this band has broken every record rock’n’roll has known so far and thus, we must be the luckiest bunch of fans on the planet, right!? 🙂

Chanelle Haynes will go on tour with The Rolling Stones on their US tour in 2024.

Together with Darryl Jones, Chuck Leavell, Matt Clifford,  Tim Ries, Karl Denson and Bernard Fowler, she will be part of the backing band and especially responsible for the ‘Merry Clayton’ part of Gimme Shelter.

In 2022, the Tina Turner impersonator really had the balls to quit an scheduled evening show of the Tina Turner Musical in favour to play with The Rolling Stones and in order to jump in for Sasha Allen who couldn’t perform that night. Don’t miss rollingstone.com for the story of this!

Do you remember the Gunslingers Tour, Ronnie did with Bo Diddley (or vice versa)?

Well, Steve Portigal, well known for good the ol’ Undercover mailing list, just felt he liked to share a digitalised copy of a VHS recording of this tour.

This was recordes at The Ritz, New York, November 25th, 1987 (feat. The Jim Satten Band) – [Doxy Collection, Remastered, Live on Fm Broadcasting]

Happy, happy birthday to the riffmaster, heart and soul of The Rolling Stones!

Rockmusicassociation says it nicely on Threads.net: “… Richards rocks harder now than most of the generations that followed him. Keef, the Rolling Stone, is no mystery. He just plugs it in and rocks it out. Born in the rock 12/18/1943. #keef  @KeithRichards #RockHonorRoll photo by Carolyn cole“

Well, these old boys still know how to make the headlines!

Due to the ‘overwhelming demand’, The Rolling Stones have added second date at Chicago‘s Soldier Field show to their 2024 Hackney Diamonds tour – Sunday, June 30! Here’s the list of tourdates by now, also added to the startpage:

The tour sponsor, the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) had their website crashed due to the ‘unexpected high demand‘ of presale tickets. The important word in here is ‘unexpected’ IMHO. I think, they could have forseen this, right? However, the site was back up and running by the afternoon.

According to lanatione.it, Mick and Keith are or have been in Firence, Italy. “According to rumors, the two stars had been in Florence for about ten days with their entire entourage made up of sound technicians, producers, service and security personnel, busy creating some songs for a new musical project.” By now, they have left Firence again, it is said.
