Stones to visit the ‘eternal City’

Good news coming up, folks! Italian press reports point towards a gig in Rome!

Lots of press sites come up with almost the same text, where the date for Rome for the upcoming Hackney Diamonds Europe Tour 2025 is given as “end of May 2025”. Then, the possible date for an official announcement is mentioned: end of January 2025! That’s good news, innit? :mrgreen:

The Rolling Stones in Rome: the concert at the end of May 2025 at the Stadio Olimpico
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ron Wood return to the capital after 11 years as part of the Hackney Diamonds Tour

Rome, November 13, 2024 – It seems that the official announcement will arrive only between the end of January and the beginning of February, but the European leg of the Rolling Stones’ Hackney Diamonds Tour is practically a done deal, as is the only Italian stop at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, scheduled for the last week of May to kick off the long summer of rock in the capital.

After months of rumors, in fact, even the site stonenews.com, very close to the band, explicitly speaks of a ‘Europe-Tour 2025’. Speaking of the offers on the table, Mick Jagger said in the summer: “We will evaluate the proposals and go wherever it will be more fun, it could be Europe, South America, anywhere”. Well, it will be Europe for twenty nights or so between May and July. The choice of the yellow-red and white-blue stands would be due to the eminently stadium-like nature of the tour that brings Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ron Wood, 218 years old between the three of them, back to the capital eleven years after the glorious stop at the Circo Massimo of 14 On Fire and eighteen after the (less fortunate) one at the same Olimpico of the Bigger Bang Tour.

Having started on April 28th from the NRG Stadium in Houston to surf the wave fueled by the release of the twenty-fourth studio album by the English band ‘Hackney Diamonds’, the loud-mouthed caravan returns to our country after the celebratory show of their sixtieth anniversary which also landed at San Siro in July 2022. Given the location in calendar, Ron Wood will turn 78 just a few days after the show in the capital, while Sir Mick will be 82 in July, but they don’t seem to have the slightest desire to hang up their guitar.
