Overview

  • The band’s representative confirmed they opted out after reviewing promoter proposals for a multi-month run across the U.K. and Europe.
  • Promoters had floated numerous ideas and dates for next summer, but no engagements were finalized or announced.
  • Bernard Doherty said the group will return to live performance when they are “good and ready.”
  • The Stones most recently completed a 16-stop U.S. stadium tour in 2024 supporting Hackney Diamonds.
