The Rolling Stones are reportedly preparing to announce a European tour for 2025. The iconic rock band thrilled fans in the US earlier this year with their sold-out Hackney Diamonds tour, which launched in Houston in April and concluded in Missouri in July. Following their stateside success, Sir Mick Jagger , 81, Keith Richards , 80, and Ronnie Wood, 77, are said to be planning a major series of UK shows for spring and summer next year.
A source told The Sun : “The Stones had phenomenal success on their North American Hackney Diamonds tour and there is no doubt their European shows will pack the same punch. “Mick, Keith and Ronnie have now signed off on the shows which will take place across stadiums next year.” The insider added that the band will be making the announcement in the next few weeks.
They added: “There is no slowing the band down. They cannot wait to get back out on the road and perform for their fans over here.” The Standard has contacted The Rolling Stones’ rep for comment.
Last week, Wood hinted at the Rolling Stones’ plans for a European tour in 2025. Speaking on BBC Radio’s Front Row, the guitarist shared that the band is aiming to embark on a "tour of Europe..
. next year." In October 2023, the Rolling Stones released Hackney Diamonds, their first album of original songs in 18 years.
The record debuted at number one in the charts, marking the 11th time the band has achieved such a milestone. The album quickly became the fifth fastest-selling release of the year and ranked as the third most-streamed album on Apple Music. To promote the record, the legendary rockers performed in 16 major North American cities, including New Orleans, Las Vegas, Seattle, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Vancouver.
The Stones’ previous U.S. tour was in 2021 with their No Filter shows, which marked their first performances without drummer Charlie Watts since 1963.
