When was The Rolling Stone's last tour?
The Rolling Stones last played the UK in 2022, appearing twice at British Summer Time at Hyde Park, with a warm-up show at Liverpool FC’s Anfield.
Before this, The Rolling Stones toured the UK in 2018, making stops at The London Stadium, Manchester United’s Old Trafford, and The Principality Stadium in Cardiff amongst other British stadiums.
So it's definitely time for them to hit home ground again and put on a Rolling Stones Tour 2025 in the UK!
The Rolling Stones played a 20-date North American tour between April and July 2024, hitting the likes of Las Vegas, Orlando, Los Angeles and Chicago.
The tour concluded in the States on 21st July in Ridgedale, Missouri.
In an interview with RTL in Germany on 8 December 2023, Mick Jagger said he hoped that The Stones would bring their tour to Europe once the North American tour is finished.
Do The Rolling Stones have a new album?
‘Hackney Diamonds’ was released to largely positive reviews, including a 78% aggregate score with Metacritic.
Many fans online have described the album as The Stones’ best since 1981’s ‘Tattoo You’ which featured the iconic track ‘Start Me Up’.
‘Hackney Diamonds’ immediately sounds like a classic Stones album, touching on all aspects of the band’s career from guitar anthem, ‘Angry’, to country ballad, ‘Depending on You’, and Keith Richards-led acoustic track, ‘Tell Me Straight’. The second single from the album, ‘Sweet Sounds of Heaven’ is arguably a career-best track and wouldn’t be out of place in a set sat next to the 1969 classic, ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’.
