Just watched a video clip from New England Cable news off the Boston Globe web page. Although neither Boston City officials or the Red Sox are saying which artist will be playing Fenway, the news media all think its the Stones.
The clip also mentioned that a formal annoucement by the act playing Fenway is expected on May 6th.
We finally may hear about the new album, etc. Its about time. |

Not a good day in the UK for the annoucement, the results of the general election will be that day, if expected the election goes ahead on the 5th. |

we can always watch the press conference live on Sky News interactive, just like in 2002!
Sky News have actually given extensive live coverage to the last two Stones tour press conferences
I remember 3 years ago posting that we were getting it broadcast live, yet it didn't appear to be live on TV in the US, which was weird! |

Good tid-bit. If the Stones are indeed the act it seems that they do have something planned for that date if the sources are correct.

Regardless of the date it should be interesting to see how they announce.Traditionally they have done some major splash in NYC.That might be difficult this time as Fenway Park is in Boston and there is such a NYC-Boston rivalry...Plus they've kinda used all modes of transport in NYC getting to these press conference things.The pressures on though with U2 off and running strong and Springsteen with new album cut out now...so lets hope the guys can pull off kind of album (or parts of anyway)that will make the tour less of a nostalgia event.Course I'll be at as many shows as I can regardless!!!!!!!!!!!See you in Beantown!!!! |

In '97, VH1 gave the Stones great coverage. In '02, nada. Most of the 3 big cable newsers give a Stones PC passing coverage. I hope it's done in NY as I have zero intention of traveling to Bahstahn. |

Yeah, I think they have used all possible means of transportation there are to announce a tour. What next? Land on their own personal jet plane?! A submarine?!?!
I sure hope the conference will take place on a weekday so I can take good advantage of the office's adsl connection  |

If it's Bahstahn they could just show up on the USS Constitution, if the Nat'l Parks Commision allowed it. |

I read on Shidoobee that it's rumored that the press conference is at Fenway. |

These announcement don't get much attention here, maybe a 3 sec. newsclip on some showbizz-news show. If there's no other big news it may be on national tv news. But May 5th we celebrate Liberation Day (WWII) and May 6th is the day a controversial Dutch politician was murdered 3 years ago, so they'll probably be more interested in reviewing the Liberation pop festivals and in looking back and interviewing the politician followers on memorials 'n stuff, I just know it, fat chance  . The Stones don't get much coverage until close to the dates they're playing in Holland. |

I saw a minute coverage on CNN international back then and more than 2 minutes coverage on CNN is spanish.
I think that CNN international is the same worldwide. |

I'm thinking they will jump out of a plane with parachutes all dressed in camo. Except Charlie will be in his usual jazz atire.

May 6th actually seems very early to announce a tour that won't start until late in August. |
|
|
| Gazza |
last tour announcement was May 7th 2002
Tour began officially 3rd September
The earlier its announced, the more interest they make on ticket sales. Think of it that way.
It seems a bit different in the US than Europe. Sometimes our big summer tours are announced prior to the preceding Christmas, including the Stones ones |

LOL Tough drive tonight! I should have remembered as I was actually there. I just really hope they do it in NY again. Or Philly. I could make it there. |
