Although The Stones announced details for the band’s America Latina Olé today, some dates were previously announced by promoters.  The journey includes three shows in Buenos Aires and two in Sao Paulo.

Playing Latin America for the first time in 10 years, The Stones can knock off a few countries on the band’s bucket list when it performs in Uruguay, Peru, Columbia and the city of Porto Alegre for the very first time in the band’s 50-plus year history.

The Glimmer Twins provide the quotes.

“We love playing Latin America and are excited about going to some cities for the first time!” Mick Jagger said.  “The audiences are among some of the best in the world, they bring incredible energy!”

“We have a great time performing in stadiums last summer in the U.S. and are excited to come to Latin America for the first time in 10 years,” Keith Richards said.  “The fans are amazing.”
