1999 ‘Bridges To Babylon’ European Tour overview

Following the postponement of the summer 1998 UK leg for tax reasons, by the end of the year it was apparent that the four ‘make up dates’ would be supplemented by a few additional shows on the continent as the Stones played half a dozen additional outdoor concerts at locales in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain which had been skipped in 1998. The only indoor date in the 11-city tour was a theatre show at Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London where the Stones treated the 1,800 fans who had queued the day before to pay a mere £10 for their tickets to a riotous night featuring rare performances of ‘Melody’, ‘Brand new car’ and a onetime only (and surprisingly marvellous) ‘Moon is Up’. The rest of the tour was relatively similar to the ‘No Security’ setlists with a couple of stadium friendly warhorses brought back in.

Counting the ‘No Security’ North American leg as part of the same tour, the 21-month ‘Bridges to Babylon’ tour grossed a record $362.5 million in ticket sales over 152 shows.

Number of shows – 11

Number in circulation – 11

Recommended shows - Stuttgart 29^th May, Imst 31^st May, London Shepherd’s Bush Empire 8^th June, London Wembley Stadium 11^th June
