The Rolling Stones have announced the first date of a 2014 tour of Australia and New Zealand.
The band will open the redeveloped Adelaide Oval on March 22, 2014.
Pre-sale tickets will go on sale from 11.00 am ACST on Thursday, November 21 until 6.00 pm ACST Friday, November 22 (or earlier if pre-sale allocation is exhausted).
General public tickets will go on sale at 9.00am ACST Monday, November 25.
“It’s great to be invited to Adelaide to open the historic Oval,” says Mick Jagger. “We’re really looking forward to doing this gig, it will be the first time we’ve been to Adelaide in nearly 20 years, so see you there!”
“Hi everyone down in Adelaide, it’s been a while since we were in your back yard,” adds Keith Richards. “See you on March 22 when we’ll take over your new stadium and make it our own, look forward to it.”
The Rolling Stones will announce more Australia shows, and one in New Zealand, in the next few weeks; the band has confirmed that Mick Taylor will be joining them for the tour.
Last week, the Stones released their new concert film, “Sweet Summer Sun – Hyde Park Live.”
The band were recorded at July’s historic Hyde Park shows, which saw the band play two concerts before a combined total of more than 100,000 fans.
“Sweet Summer Sun – Hyde Park Live” is available on DVD, Blu-ray, 2CD + DVD, 3LP + DVD, and a Deluxe Edition featuring a 60 page book + DVD + Blu-ray + 2CD package.
