I should fuckin' hope so!
Expect a confirmation of the first batch of dates within the next month. Just in time to persuade thousands of people that it might be worth renewing their fan club memberships, most of which will be expiring around that time
Up to three months of shows in Europe covering roughly the same period as the original schedule for this year (late May - late August) - with Wembley Stadium at or towards the end of the tour. It will probably be a mixture of stadium shows and arena shows (hopefully with a couple of theatre gigs, although I wont be holding my breath)
Promoters in Poland and Spain have already publicly confirmed that they have secured promotional rights to staging Stones shows in their respective countries next summer.
There will probably also be a small number of Asian shows in the spring - India, Thailand etc. Seems odd though that theyd regroup and go all that way just for a week of shows, though so maybe there'll be a few shows elsewhere. South America certainly was undersold this year in terms of concerts (only 3) so hopefully they will get a return visit. |

South America will sell good. Probably the best Stones market in the world.
Past discussions on this board accused certian US markets as not being a "Stones city" anymore. Sadly, there are no more "Stones cities" in the US.

thanks for the info.
I would put a lot of effort into securing Arena / Theatre tickets! Although Twickenham this August was excellent, I would like to see them in more intimate surroundings - provided it isn't the Manchester MEN Arena, where the sound and performance was below par in 2003. |

Thanks Gazza for the update - ahead of a "formal announcement" from RS.com, they are always the last to provide information! So if all goes well for the STONES, Europe next summer it is! I will wait till the very last minute before making any travel plans, just in case of another round of rehab, illness, accidents, cancellations or postponements. Its like the Stones who cried wolf, it's getting harder and harder to actually believe in them pulling it off anymore. But they did promise to play some of the cancelled shows in Europe, and it seems they want to make good on their promises. |

Well, I can only speak for an infinitesimal part of Europe,of course, but the most likely answer to this question is:
NO !!!!
I will, however, take orders for t-shirts (design and colour scheme to be announced shortly) saying:
"Rolling Stones/Europe 2007
THE NO FUCKING EXPECTATIONS TOUR" on the front
(with a slightly modified Stones lip-logo blowing a gale-force10 raspberry underneath)
back of t-shirt will just have this text:
I lost all my money on flights and hotels for the following concerts:
Date/ Town
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
The t-shirt will come with a black fabric-fast marker each.
Retail price 25£ or 50$ each (pen included)
