The Rolling Stones have finally announced their
much-anticipated 50th anniversary concerts, in which all the band members will
reunite on stage for the first time in five years.
'Sorry to keep you all hanging around but the waiting is
over. I've always said the best place for rock and roll is on the stage and the
same is true for the Stones. I'm here with Mick, Charlie and Ronnie and
everything is rocking. See you very soon!' - Keith Richards
They will play London's O2 Arena on November 25th and 29th,
and the Prudential Center, Newark, on December 13th and 15th,
2012. The shows are set to be explosive, with the band recruiting their
long-term collaborators, set designer Mark Fisher and lighting
director Patrick Woodroffe.
Tickets for the London shows go on sale Friday, at 9am,
while the American dates will be available October 26th at noon
eastern time. Click here for more information. If you're not able to get
