The Stones’ iconic performances in Europe are the stuff of rock and roll legend

The Rolling Stones have been thrilling fans worldwide for decades and their current US tour is a testament to their staying power. But with Europe (and especially the UK) holding such a special place in the Stones’ storied history, it’s only natural to wonder if they’ll be heading our way soon.

Historically, the Stones often incorporate UK and European dates into their larger tours. Many fans suspect that they might circle back home once their US shows wrap up, as they’ve done in years past. While official announcements are scarce, here’s why the possibility is so exciting.

  • UK and European audiences never tire of the Stones and tickets usually sell out in minutes.
  • They’ve frequently ended or extended tours with shows closer to home, generating massive buzz.
  • The Stones’ iconic performances in Europe are the stuff of rock and roll legend, from early clubs to massive stadiums.

Will they be doing a show in London?

London has been the backdrop to many historic Rolling Stones moments, think Hyde Park in 1969 and subsequent return gigs that drew huge crowds. It’s no wonder people are asking if Mick, Keith, Ronnie, and Charlie (in spirit) will grace the capital once again. While there’s no official word about a London date, here’s what to consider:

  • The Stones started out in London’s music scene, so playing their hometown has a certain poetic charm.
  • From historic parks to state-of-the-art stadiums, London boasts major venues fit for their legendary status.
  • Often, the Stones’ UK tour legs include at least one (and sometimes multiple) London shows, though we can’t confirm any details for the near future just yet.

What happened on their last US tour?

If you follow the Stones on social media, you would’ve seen electrifying highlights from their US tour!

  • They didn’t skimp on fan favourites like “Gimme Shelter,” “Paint It Black,” and “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.”
  • Part of the band’s charm is their ability to bring on special guests and keep each show feeling unique.
  • Decades in, they’re still performing with unparalleled enthusiasm, proving rock truly is ageless.

A look back at iconic Stones shows in the UK

One reason fans are eager for a UK return is the band’s storied performance history on home soil. Here are just a few highlights:

  • One of the most iconic free concerts in rock history, with hundreds of thousands in attendance.
  • Whether performing in the ’70s, ’80s, or ’90s, the Stones always managed to reinvent their shows while keeping the classics alive.
  • In more recent years, the Stones have filled up huge arenas, delivering top-tier production and unforgettable nights.
