They are coming back to Europe - already this summer! On Monday (March 14), The Rolling Stones announced their European tour with fourteen stadium concerts in ten countries for next June and July - including two shows in Germany, first in Munich and then in the VELTINS Arena in Gelsenkirchen. To celebrate their 60th anniversary, the title of the European tour is simply "SIXTY".
The Stones are rolling on and will be back where they belong this summer: In Europe, where they will present their brand new "SIXTY" tour production in packed stadiums, kicking off in Madrid on June 1, 2022 and stopping directly at Munich's Olympic Stadium as their next stop: on Pentecost Sunday, June 5, 2022. The second concert date in Germany will then follow a few weeks later - on Wednesday, July 27, 2022, at the VELTINS-Arena in Gelsenkirchen.
With "SIXTY", Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are building on the huge success of the critically and fan-acclaimed "No Filter" tour, which the Stones ended in the USA in fall 2021 with sold-out stadium shows. The European leg of the "No Filter" tour kicked off on September 9, 2017 with an energetic opening concert in front of 82,000 fans in Hamburg, where the Stones impressively demonstrated why they are undisputedly the most famous and biggest rock band in the world. In 2017 and 2018, the "No Filter" tour schedule included five German cities - Hamburg, Munich, Düsseldorf, Berlin and Stuttgart - which were visited by a total of around 300,000 enthusiastic fans. All shows were completely sold out.
As you would expect for the band's 60th anniversary, the Stones, who will once again be supported by Steve Jordan on drums, will be treating their fans on the "SIXTY" tour to a setlist that will be packed with classics such as "Gimme Shelter", "Paint It Black", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Tumbling Dice", "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Start Me Up" and many more hits. But it wouldn't be a real Rolling Stones concert if there weren't a few musical surprises on every show night. So this time too, a selection of unexpected titles from the band's almost inexhaustible arsenal of songs will find their place on the setlist. And as always with the Stones, there will be a new, gigantic tour production, including a huge stage, spectacular lighting technology and a revolutionary video design - all specially developed for the long-awaited "SIXTY" tour and appropriate for an appropriate anniversary.
Also brand new is the Rolling Stones tongue for the "SIXTY" tour, which was designed by the award-winning British designer Mark Norton.
