Unconfirmed sources claim talks for a new show are focused on dates from November 27 to 29.
But, on his Triple M Hot Breakfast program today, McGuire urged caution about a new Hanging Rock date.
“Maybe, maybe, maybe,” McGuire said. “Nothing is confirmed. But with the goodwill of the Rolling Stones and Michael Gudinski doing his best for all the punters ... maybe something will happen at the end of this month.”
The Rolling Stones cancelled their Hanging Rock show last Saturday after frontman Mick Jagger suffered a throat infection. It left 20,000 fans devastated, and the local economy said it would lose more than $2 million.
It was the Stones’ second cancellation at Hanging Rock this year. In March, the Stones called off their original tour of Australia and New Zealand after the shock death of Jagger’s girlfriend L’Wren Scott.
Angry fans lashed out on social media last week pleading for the Stones to reconsider a date at Hanging Rock.
Jagger tweeted on Sunday: “I am very sorry we had to cancel the show at Hanging Rock and disappoint so many of you that had planned to come. Thank you for all your supportive messages over the last few days, I really appreciate it.”
Stones guitarist Keith Richards posted a handwritten note that read: “One of our men is down. S*** happens. All is well.”
The Rolling Stones will perform in Sydney tonight.
Comment is being sought from Gudinski’s Frontier Touring Company.
