The British rockers tentatively plan to perform their first concerts ever in Beijing and Shanghai in early April, one of the event’s promoters said Monday.

Dates and other details haven’t been decided, and the Stones haven’t signed a final contract, said a manager of a Beijing concert agency. She asked not to be identified further.

Beijing newspapers trumpeted news of the event. The tabloid Beijing Star Daily devoted a full page to the Stones with color photos of them in concert and a headline that declared, “Rolling Stones finally ‘rock’ to China.”
