Rolling Stones 2015 tour
Rolling Stones 2015 tour, The Rolling Stones will play a high-profile gig in Indiana, which has been targeted for boycotts over a controversial “religious freedom” law, the band revealed as it released the dates for a two-month U.S. tour this spring and summer.
The band made no mention of the Indiana controversy.
"We are excited to be back in North America playing stadiums this summer," Stones frontman Mick Jagger said in a statement. "We look forward to being back on stage and playing your favorite songs."The 15 city North American tour kicks off in San Diego on May 24 at Petco Park and ends at Quebec's Le Festival on July 15. The world’s greatest rock and roll band currently does not have a New York concert on the schedule.
But the Stones’s “Zip Code” tour will hit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 4 — a concert that will likely provoke controversy in light of the state’s law that opponents say allows businesses to discriminate against gays.
The just-announced dates represent the first stadium-level shows by the Stones since the 2005-7 "A Bigger Bang" roadshow. The band last played in our area in December of 2012 as part of a 50th anniversary tour.
Tickets for the new shows go on sale Monday, April 13 at rollingstones.com. American Express cardmembers can purchase tickets before the general public, starting Wednesday, April 8.
The North American tour will coincide with a special re-release of the band's classic 1971 album, "Sticky Fingers." The new edition, out May 26, will boast unreleased studio outtakes from the original Muscle Shoals sessions, as well as live performance from that era.
