The Rolling Stones are revving up their lucrative rock ‘n’ roll machine once again: The iconic band has locked in a round of summer stadium shows.
The Stones unveiled the 2020 leg of their No Filter Tour, a 15-city run that will kick off May 8 in San Diego and traverse the continent before wrapping up July 9 in Atlanta.
Rolling Stones tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 14 (local time in each market). A presale for American Express card holders will run 10 a.m. Feb. 12 through 10 p.m. Feb. 13.
Six decades on, a Rolling Stones show remains one of the time-tested customs in rock. The band’s 17-show outing last summer grossed more than $178 million to top the year's North American box-office chart.

Saw them on the Steel Wheels Tour, that was a good show!
But they miss Bill Wyman more than they admit.
Hey
You get offa my stroller
Don’t mess around with this blue haired crowd!
Really? I’m tired of these old geezers still playing crap music I grew tired of in the 90’s.
Give it a rest already.
We have pretty much stopped going to any major big band concerts as you end up standing for 2hrs as no one sits in their seats that they paid for. It about kills us.
We do have tickets to see Toby Keith at our local fair this summer.
Strolling Bones.
Will Petty Nancy intro them?
She’d shred it.
Best Rock and Roll band ever!!
They must be up to their 99th Nervous Breakdown by now.
“We have pretty much stopped going to any major big band concerts as you end up standing for 2hrs as no one sits in their seats that they paid for. It about kills us.”
Yep, happened to us at a Garth Brooks concert. The folks in front of us stood and screamed the songs for 2 1/2 hours

It was 50 years ago last December when I first heard this song in the PX at Fort Knox while in BCT.I can remember the moment like it was yesterday.
They’ll be playing all their hits...
“Start Me Pacemaker Up”
“(I Can’t Get No) Ass-Scratchin’”
“Mick’s Little Helpers”
“Brown Charmin”
“Seniors Tuesday”
“Sympathy For The Clintons”
“Pricking My Thumb”
“(This Will Be) The Last Time”...
“I’m with you pal. No hits in 40 years, and outside of some big screens and fireworks, watching grandpas acting 25 is rather embarassing....especially at $200 a ticket.”

OK, Bommer.
“how much would a decent ticket cost?”
At least $300 for floor level, close.
“Saw them on the Steel Wheels Tour, that was a good show!”
I saw that one, too. Alpine Valley WI.

Around 1987, Jerry Reed put on a show in Garden City, KS. I did not see it but just about everyone in my office did.
They all agreed, it was the best show they had ever seen. Some of them had seen some of the big ones too.
Steel Wheels at Shea Stadium
Letterman did several Top Ten Lists on The Stones. One of them was “Top Ten Names For The Stones’ Latest Tour” and one of them was “Hey,You,Get Off Of My Barcalounger”
I wonder how old their groupies are now?
