Exclusive: Rolling Stones to mount 18-concert tour this spring
The Rolling Stones are mounting a 2013 late spring North American arena tour
that will total 18 concerts with multiple-night stands in some cities.
On this round of tour dates, arenas with professional and college sports
commitments are likely to be sitting on the sidelines
New promotion company Virgin Live, who promoted the Stone's 2012 outing that celebrated the band's 50th anniversary, are on board again. Virgin Live marked the coming together of veteran Australian promoter Paul Dainty's Dainty Group and mogul Richard Branson's Virgin Group.
On previous tours, the Stones were promoted by Live Nation. The last Stones tour promoted by the mega promoter was their 2005-2007 A Bigger Bang Tour.
The Stones last played five arena shows Nov. 25 and Nov. 29, 2012 at London's O2 Arena, Dec.8 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY and Dec. 13 and Dec. 15 at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
