I've heard that it will be at Flemington Racecourse - what a HORRIBLE venue. Their last concerts at Rod Laver Arena were awesome - why not there again???? |

Yes understood but they have played small venues in Europe. Personally I'd rather see them with guitars and amps and none of the bullshit - at a good venue. "Stadium rock" is for pretenders like U2 and Greenday

a couple of posts on rs.com suggest that the Japanes dates may be cancelled or moved.
If they move then maybe the Stones will hit Japan and Aus later in the year.

Tokyo show would be CANCELED????
Rumor has it that the Rolling Stones would cancel the up-coming Japan tour. It might be laughable. But somebody gotta do something to prove it wrong as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more reluctant the public become to buy the tickets. It could seriously hurt your business. This self\-claimed “man living in this kind of entertainment business with great rope for twenty something years” kept on popping up at various message board for Japanese fan and kept on telling this dirty secrets. So Japanese fan needs re-assurance from the rolling stones once and for all. Let’s make it clear with a bigger bang.

Re: Tokyo show would be CANCELED???? [re: k-sawada]
This reminds me of what happened to another U.K. big name last year. The band cancelled their Japan dates just as it had been rumoured. Actually they rescheduled the tour and made it to Japan later in the year , which was not bad at all.
As with the Stones, though I suspect at the moment no one can assure that the rumour is wrong, I think at least it worth feeding back what has been going on on the local discussion boards.
Let's hope no more 'insider' should come up to hurt ticket sales further.

If they postpone, i dont see them coming here at all. They'd be too buggered. It will be nearly a year on the road. Plus, unless its after September, the venue hassle here in Melbourne is still there.
I got no problem going to Sydney to see them. Only adds an extra $400 or so to the cost of the experience. It just looks bad for us Aussies though. I doubt they are coming now. Todays performance might spark thing up a bit, but i think the venue hassle has fucked us. I cant see the Stones agreeing to play in 3rd rate venues. |

well at least we get them on our continent, and we get to see them. Im currently moving uni's from darwin to Orange (in regional NSW) so for me is a 3.5 hour drive to sydney, so not that bad.
if the NZ shows are dead set then they will be here, if only in sydney. |

Anyone know where the NZ concerts will be? I would rather go to NZ than Sydney if the venue is a good one (I HATE stadiums - bad acoustics, no intimacy .. etc). Bugger the cost, this could be the last time (sounds like a song lyric) |

I have officially given up hope of an aussie tour and I have decided not to travel either.
Up until a week ago I still believed we would see them here but now time has run out for an April tour and I wont be holding my breath hoping to see them tour later in the year.
oh dear, how sad, never mind. |

I'm so jaded, financially I would be screwed right now if the Stones do come here in April. I think I'll go and see Deep Purple and Status Quo instead who are touring here together & I know will be nowhere near as expensive to see than a solitary Stones show. doh.... |

Price does not matter. Rolling Stones at Rod Laver Arena, $1000 a ticket - I will be there. |

Maybe this will teach us to stop spending money on health, education and public transport, and start building more 50,000+ stadiums with roofs on them!
Oh, and Jap shows are not cancelled. |

Hey Corgi, we have a 50,000 seat stadium with a roof on it -Telstra Dome. Saw Green Day there in December - Telstra Dome sucks as a rock venue as does the MCG,as do all stadiums - no atmosphere, lousy acoustics. My Chemical Romance supported Green day and they were awesome - watch out for these boys they are hot. |

Yes, my newbie friend, but a little thing called AFL football is on in April. Heard of that? Also at the MCG. Hence, no A-grade stadiums are available. And, not until October either.
Egon - It's just the local mafia types again. This latest guy was a barred lawyer and money man for the mob. he's number 29 or so in the gang-land feuds going on. He lived not too far from me either. He lived virtually across the road from a cemetary too! I know that place well. I used to drink there when i was 17.
