Rolling Stones reschedule European gigs
The Rolling Stones will begin their European tour in July after Keith Richards was given the all-clear following brain surgery.Last week, the band announced that they were postponing 15 shows in Europe, in order to give Richards time to recover from his head injury and subsequent surgery.
The first performance will be at the San Siro stadium in Milan on 11 July, a show that was put back from 22 June. The Rolling Stones will then travel through Austria, Germany, France, Holland, Switzerland, Portugal and Spain.
Their UK dates in London, Glasgow, Sheffield and Cardiff in late August remain unchanged.
But gigs in Barcelona, Madrid, Brussels, Gothenburg, St Petersburg, Brno, Warsaw, Athens, Zagreb and Frankfurt are still to be rescheduled.
Tickets for the postponed concerts will be valid for the rescheduled dates.
"We are delighted to announce the Stones tour is back on track and thank all the fans and ticket holders for their patience," said tour promoter Michael Cohl. "We have put in as many shows in as many countries as was feasible. This is still going to be the most incredible rock show ever" he added.
