Rolling Stones to play warm-up show in Paris tonight

The Rolling Stones have announced via Twitter that they will play a show in Paris tonight as a warm-up for their four upcoming gigs in London and Newark.

The band wrote: "The Rolling Stones are playing a short warm-up gig tonight, Thursday 25th Oct, in Paris."

The venue is reported to be Trabendo, a small 700-seat theatre in the Parc de la Villette area of Paris. Tickets go on sale at 12pm local time at a Virgin Megastore on Paris's Champs Elysees.Tickets are to cost 15 euros. Cheap, huh?
