The Rolling Stones are an English rock band that formed in London in 1962. The band has gone through multiple lineup changes over the years with the current lineup featuring original lead vocalist Mick Jagger, original guitarist Keith Richards and guitarist Ronnie Wood, who joined the band in 1976.
As a critical part of the British Invasion in 1964, the Stones gained fame and acclaim with popular hits such as “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” “Honky Tonk Women,” “Sympathy for the Devil,” “Gimme Shelter,” and “Brown Sugar.” The Stones are one one of the best-selling bands of all time, and have sold over 250 million albums worldwide.
The Stones have also won three Grammy Awards, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. They also recorded the all-time highest-grossing concert tour three times by 2007 and were the highest-earning live act of the year in 2021.
What do we know about the Rolling Stones’ new tour?
Last month, The Rolling Stones released “Hackney Diamonds,” their first album of original material in 18 years.
Tuesday, the band announced they’re taking it on the road.
Starting on April 28 in Houston and concluding in Santa Clara, California, on July 17, the Stones will make their way across the U.S. and Canada.
The tour hits 16 major cities, including New Orleans, Las Vegas, Seattle, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles and Vancouver, British Columbia.
Fans can expect to experience the Stones’ most popular hits as well as new tracks from “Hackney Diamonds,” the band’s “best new work in decades,” as The Associated Press’ Jocelyn Noveck wrote in her review of the album. She argues the 12-song collection is “tight, focused, full of heart and swagger.”
When was the last time the Rolling Stones performed in the U.S.?
The Stones last performed across the U.S. in 2021 for their No Filter tour, marking the first time the band had toured without drummer Charlie Watts since 1963. Watts, the self-effacing and unshakeable Rolling Stones drummer who helped anchor one of rock’s greatest rhythm sections, died in August 2021. He was 80.
