Tickets will go on sale Monday 8 April for The Rolling Stones 50 And Counting Tour.
The tour debut in Los Angeles will be followed by performances in Oakland, San Jose, Las Vegas, Anaheim, Toronto, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia.
"50 And Counting" continues the exhilarating celebration of the band's five decades of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood bringing their iconic music and ground-breaking stage shows to audiences around the globe.
The Rolling Stones won NME’s 'Best Live Band' Award in London, and over the past year have delighted follower with their greatest hits album ‘Grrr!’, a groundbreaking documentary film ‘Crossfire Hurricane,’ and a photographic book ‘Rolling Stones: 50’.
The band will also play a massive concert at London's Hyde Park on Saturday 6 July - the first time they’ve played there in 44 years. In the UK’s capital they’ll be supported by The Vaccines, The Temper Trap, Gary Clark Jr as well as Palma Violets, Tribes, The Boxer Rebellion and more across three other stages.
And top all that The Stones are also headlining at UK's Glastonbury Festival on Saturday 29 June.
"'50 And Counting' has been pretty amazing so far," said Jagger. "We did a few shows in London and New York last year...and had such a good time that we thought...let's do some more. It's a good show. Lots of the classic stuff everyone wants to hear...with a few little gems tucked in here and there. The stage is shaped like lips and goes off into the venue so I get to run around in the crowd. It's great fun to be able to get that close to the audience."
"From day one at rehearsals it sounded so fresh. You could tell that everybody was dying to get their teeth into it. It was like...open the gates...let us out!" said Richards. "Cause man, it is the life and blood of us to play in front of people."
Tickets for Oakland, San Jose, Toronto and Chicago go on sale beginning Monday, April 8 at 10AM local time and will be available at www.rollingstones.com.
Mick Taylor, who was a member of The Rolling Stones from 1969-74, will be a special guest throughout the tour.
The band will treat their generations of fans to an evening of classic Stones hits like "Gimme Shelter," "Paint It Black," "Jumping Jack Flash,", "Tumbling Dice," and "It's Only Rock and Roll," curetted with lesser known gems, and a cover or two.
The stage design for the tour is based on the band's ubiquitous tongue and lips logo, which extends out into the crowd, allowing the Stones to interact directly with their audience. Known for their groundbreaking sets and use of cutting-edge technology, the Stones' set design will feature video screens and special effects that will enhance the high-octane experience of attending a live Stones' show.
