The Stones’ logo flies over Denver’s Mile High Stadium
Nothing has been announced officially yet, but a number of inside reports suggest that the Rolling Stones will be making another go-round across the United States beginning in spring 2019. Again, this is still in the rumor stage, but at least one Stones fan site, It’s Only Rock’n Roll, lists a dozen likely stops for the alleged tour, with a handful of possible dates for four of those cities as of November 14.
[Update, Nov. 19: Details are here!]
Other news outlets have also speculated that the band has scheduled visits to their area (see photo at right). Denver’s NBC affiliate reports that the Broncos Stadium general manager told a district board meeting the concert would be announced “next week.”
On November 15, the Stones posted an animated video of their iconic tongue and lips logo rising above the New York City harbor. Scroll down to see it and the full rumored schedule as of now.
Each of the rumored concerts is slated for an outdoor stadium holding a minimum of 45,000 people and as many as 80,000. Also listed is a May 2 stop at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
The Denver Post‘s music site The Know notes that the Stones haven’t played the city since 2005. For that arena show, tickets were scaled from $60 to $400.
In recent years, the Stones have built several days in between performances. Should the tour begin in April, Charlie Watts will be 77, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards both 75, and Ronnie Wood 71.
On November 15, the Stones posted this video on their Facebook page

The Stones’ most recent tour, dubbed #NoFilter, began in Hamburg, Germany, in September 2017, and they ended that first leg of the tour in Paris Oct. 25, 2017. They then returned to the road in May of this year, starting the next leg of the tour in Dublin, Ireland, in May. That part of the tour ended in Warsaw, Poland, July 8 of this year.

RETURNING Numerous times after Babylon!!
Who is it?
Today, November 15, 2018, A Stencil of The Rolling Stones Tongue logo was at the entrance of the Court Street Station in Brooklyn, New York. A sure sign that The Rolling Stones are coming. Is that a clue for Barclays Arena in Brooklyn?
A small correction of the #NoFilter Tour began in Hamburg not in Munich, in September 2017. I was at both concerts.
Fixed; much obliged.
Stones logos appeared several times at jaguars game in Jacksonville today along with a message that said “stay tuned”
Would love to see Jane Lee Hooker as an opening act- if the Stones have the balls. 😉
