The Rolling Stones, who have toured every year since 2012 and whose principals are all in their 70s, have announced a North American tour for next year that launches April 20 in Florida and wrap in Chicago on June 21. The initial announcement includes 13 dates, however there are several days between each tour date so additional shows seem likely, even with the Stones’ average of 3-4 days between shows. The dates were first announced by Rolling Stone.

Jimmy Gustafson and Poobah are still at it, and in the R&R hall of fame...

I'd prefer "Rock'n'Roll Survivors Tour". They're doing what they love. Gotta hand it to them!
When they play “Start me up”, they’ll be using defibrillators. Geezer rock.
I can’t respect the RRHF until Grand Funk (greatest garage band of all time) is inducted. Donna Summer is in there but not Mark Farner? That’s crazy!
I’ve never gotten to one of their concerts; always sold out by the time I tried to get tickets.
This must have been the tour I saw, but thought it was the Some Girls tour! Cotton bowl in Dallas, TX...where they blew up the giant balloon girl???!!!
The music was rocking and amazing but so loud that I could not hear that night and most of the next day! Thought I was going to be deaf forever!
It is what it is LOL. They have Woody Guthrie as a feature? LOL
THE coolest thing in the R&R hall of fame when I was there was Janice Joplin’s 64 convertible bathtub Porsche hand painted by big brother and the holding company.
Can you say “Hell Ride?” :)
Saw them a couple years ago for the fifth time. They sounded better than they ever had. I’ll go again if they’re close to Orlando.
We need to start thinking about what kind of world we’re going to leave to Keith Richards.
And I've been collecting Social Security since retiring nearly 5 years ago.
That The Stones and Paul McCartney can still fill stadiums is quite the testament to their cultural impact.
That being said, I believe both are selling nothing more than nostalgia now. It seems to me they've just been phoning it in for the last 45 years.
For my own personal musical tastes, The Stones 1964-1972 era was unequaled. ("Brown Sugar" was their last great rocker IMO).
And McCartney ran out of musical gas in the mid-70s.
So where are Tosh and Kansas today? Still selling out stadiums?
:)
Exactly! Linda Rondstat is in the Hall, by not Grand Funk? Ridiculousness!
Wow. Sorry, you’re musically illiterate.
“And he is still drinking smoking and smoking pot. Unreal.”
Good for him!
