Rolling Stones Reactivating For Isle Of Wight Fest
Rolling Stones
March 20, 2007, 10:50 AM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
The Rolling Stones will return to live duty with a June 10 headlining appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival, according to U.K. reports. The Stones have not played a U.K. festival since the Knebworth Fair in 1976.
Mick Jagger is expected to conduct a live Webcast Thursday (March 22) on the Stones' Web site, likely regarding more European concerts for this summer, including make-ups for dates canceled in Europe in 2006.
At Isle of Wight, which begins June 8, the Stones will be joined by Snow Patrol, Muse, Amy Winehouse, Keane, Kasabian, the Feeling, Paolo Nutini, James Morrison, Groove Armada and Wolfmother.
In other Stones news, frontman Mick Jagger is teaming with director Martin Scorsese to produce the music business-centered film "The Long Play." Meanwhile, Scorsese's as yet-untitled Stones documentary, including footage filmed last fall at New York's Beacon Theatre, is due for release in the fall.

was just gonna post the rumour about there being a webcast as well, but you beat me to it. Thanks
rs.com is down at the minute (as are many of the other Ultrastar sites). They'd better get it up and running again in the next 36 hours! |

Apparently there now WON'T be a press conference, because Keith "can't make it". 
Mick will apparently do a webcast INSTEAD of a press conference. I presume this means that the Virgin radio broadcast wont happen, but I'm not sure of that.
Another organisational own-goal. More people would have heard the radio broadcast than would see the webcast I'm sure. |

Keith can't make it?!
Yeah, cause he's got his day job and it's hard to take a day off, or he's short of money to make the trip, or they just told him and he had other plans 
Major killjoy... I had such a buzz for the pc... Anyway, the good news is they're touring, I'll focus on that.

I happen to be secretly enjoying the fact that the Stones are no longer such a world-wide mania. Bring on the smaller venues. In fact, last night I dreamt they played in front of a laundrymat in a strip mall, and Bill Wyman came out into the audience (all 100 or so of us standing around in the parking lot) and passed out multi-colored plastic tamborines for us to play. |

This is not off to a good start. Late to begin with, an unorganized plan for a radio press conf. downgraded into a web announcement, and KEEF is too busy?? Why TF dont they realize it doesnt give much confidence to the already skeptical ticket buyers? |

I suppose cause the average person who'll buy a Stones ticket, won't bother to search the message boards for information on the press conference beforehand, and he'll / she'll only find out about the tour once it's announced, not even imagining all the things that went on until then. So it doesn't make much difference if the 4 Stones are there to do it - Mick makes the announcement over the net, so it's a sure and done thing.
All this lack of organizing skill gets me too though... I suppose we're all still very sensitive after last year's logistics hell... Let's hope history won't repeat itself! |

Maybe Keith is pissed off by the future solo album from his "friend" Mick Jagger.
The album is announced at the same time that the next Stones european tour ---> Keith boycot the PC ("Dogshit in the Doorway" syndrome).

no need for anyone to get upset. This is nothing new. Stones always do this... they treat Europe like the red-headed step child. The US gets the big and stylish press conferences while Europe gets the phone in. They've done it before.
the good news is that the tour is still a go and they will announce how much they plan to over charge us and what some of the dates that they will later cancel are going to be via webcast and we'll all get to see it. |

Mick Jagger will hold a webcast at 4pm tomorrow through the band's website Rollingstones.com.
A press conference to announce the Stones' European leg of their Bigger Bang Tour was to have taken place tomorrow afternoon in Park Lane, but due to scheduling problems, it is now altered to a worldwide webcast by front man Mick Jagger.
The Bigger Bang Tour, which kicked off in August 2005 has been officially labeled the “top-grossing tour in history” by US trade magazine Billboard.
Despite several set-backs and postponements along the worldwide tour route, incidents included Kieth Richards’ fall from a palm tree in Fiji and Mick Jagger's double-dose of laryngitis, the tour has been raptously recieved.
The tour has also been the subject of a documentary by Oscar-winning director Martin Scorcese.
The webcast is due to begin at 4pm. Fans will be able to ask Jagger questions as the announcement occurs.

17.00 Central Europe Time
16.00 GMT

Hmmm, I wonder if my coworkers'll object to some noise from my speakers at 1700... Or my boss... To hell with'em! I'll watch. Without sound if I'm forced to. |
