Rolling Stones Announce European Stadium Tour โSixtyโ
Simone Joyner/Getty Images โ The Rolling Stones live on stage during day two of British Summer Time Hyde Park in London, July 6, 2013.
The band returns for two concerts this year, with Steve Jordan on drums.
The Rolling Stones return to Europe this summer to play 14 shows in ten countries, including two nights at British Summer Time Hyde Park in London, England, and their first concert in Liverpool, England, since more than 50 years.
The tour, titled โSixtyโ in celebration of the legendary bandโs 60th anniversary, kicks off June 1 at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain, and closes at Stockholm, Swedenโs Friends Arena, July 31.
Munich, Germany (June 5), Amsterdam, Netherlands (June 13), Bern, Switzerland (June 17), Milan, Italy (June 21), Brussels, Belgium (July 11), Vienna, Austria (July 15), Lyon, France (July 19), Paris, France (July 23), Gelsenkirchen, Germany (July 27) are on the itinerary as well. Full dates of The Rolling Stones โSixtyโ European tour below.
The three UK shows stand out. The June 9 concert at Anfield, home of Liverpool FC soccer club, will mark the Stonesโ first performance in Liverpool in over 50 years. The two performances at American Express presents BST Hyde Park in London, June 25 and July 3, are the only two non-stadium shows on the entire 14-date trek.

The Stones performed one of the most legendary concerts of all times at the park in 1969.
The Stonesโ and London go way back. Their July 12, 1962 gig at the Marquee Club launched one of the most incredible live careers of all times. The free 1969 โThe Stones in the Parkโ festival attracted between 250,000 and half a million people โ the true number will never be known โ to Hyde Park.
They returned just once in 2013, for the premiere of BST Hyde Park, where they played two sold-out shows to 130,000 fans, resulting in the award-winning concert film โSweet Summer Sun: Hyde Park Liveโ, directed by Paul Dugdale.
Promoter AEG Presents is sure that โthis yearโs Stones show will go down in history as well.โ Jim King, CEO of European festivals at AEG Presents, commented, โWhenever Hyde Park is mentioned, itโs impossible not to think of The Rolling Stones. Two nights on June 25th and July 3rd cap off an incredible line up for BST Hyde Park 2022 but nobody brings it like the Stones when theyโre on home turf in London.โ
On the โSixtyโ European tour, The Rolling Stones will once again be joined by frequent long-time collaborator Steve Jordan on drums. Jordan had also stepped in after Charlie Wattsโ passing on Aug. 24, 2021, just a month before the bandโs last previous tour, โNo Filter,โ kicked off in the U.S.
The North American leg of โNo Filterโ was the highest grossing tour of Pollstarโs 2021 chart year, bringing in $115.5 million and more than 516,000 tickets over the course of just two months.
The European leg of โNo Filter,โ had already wrapped in 2018. Just like โSixtyโ it began with 14 stadium shows, scheduled between Sept. 9 and Oct. 25, 2017. Another 14 dates were added between May and July 2018.
Pollstar received 25 box office reports from that tour, and combining both legs, the Stones rolled up a total gross of $236,545,265 and moved 1,506,259 tickets on their last visit to Europe.
