For a few days, the Rolling Stones were teasing on the web by broadcasting enigmatic posts: we heard the first notes of Can’t You Hear Me Knocking? (Can’t you hear me knock?) with their famous iconic sticking out tongue arranged in different locations on a map of Europe.
French fans, who haven’t seen the band in concert for four years – their last concert in France took place in Marseille in 2018 after the 2017 inauguration of La Defense Arena (then the U Arena) – are in heaven.
With this tour called SIXTYthe Rolling Stones promise a new show, different from the tour No Filter Tour, which began in 2017 and resumed in the fall of 2021 to sold-out audiences in the United States. A European tour without Charlie Watts, historic drummer who died last August, and has since been replaced by Steve Jordan, and still with their faithful bassist Darryl Jones.

The tour SIXTY passes through Madrid on June 1, Munich on June 5, Liverpool on June 9, Amsterdam on June 13, Bern on June 17, Milan on June 21, London on June 25 and July 3, Brussels on July 11, Vienna on July 15, Lyon on July 19, Paris on July 23, Gelsenkirchen on July 27 and Stockholm on July 31.
The year 2022 is loaded with symbols for the Stones. The group celebrates both the 50th anniversary of one of its iconic albums, exile on main street and especially its 60 years of existence. The band’s birth certificate is set by rock critics at their first performance together in July 1962 at the Marquee in London.
