The Rolling Stones will probably tour ’til they die:

The most successful touring band in the history of the business will crank it up yet again. And, like every Rolling Stones tour since 1989’s Steel Wheels, this trek will be promoted worldwide by Michael Cohl, this time under his vintage Concert Productions International banner.

The tour, announced at a press conference held by the band May 10 at the Juilliard School of Music in New York, begins Aug. 21 at Fenway Park in Boston. Following American Express and fan club presales May 10, tickets will go on sale May 14.

Fan club members pay $100 for other perks and the opportunity to see the exact seat locations available before they join, Cohl says, or they can be refunded if they are unhappy.

The working title of the trek is the Rolling Stones on Stage, though Cohl says that could change. No support acts have been named.

The title refers to a production element that places some fans literally onstage during the concerts, with several hundred seats in each market built into the set at about $50-$60… With a new Stones album expected this summer from Virgin Records, this will be the first time since the Bridges to Babylon tour in 1997-1998 that the Rolling Stones have toured in support of new material. The group has worked with producer Don Was in Paris and New York on material.

Joining Stones members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood on the road will be their longtime all-star sidemen Chuck Leavell (keyboards), Darryl Jones (bass) and Bobby Keys (horns), as well the same backup singers and horn section. source
