Hot on the heels of the announcement that they'll open the new Adelaide Oval, The Rolling Stones have confirmed another five spectacular shows for Australia and New Zealand.
Frontier Touring & AEG Live have unveiled a string of special 'one night only' shows in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland, and Victoria's Hanging Rock as part of the band's 14 ON FIRE tour.
Tickets for all shows will go on sale to the general public on Monday December 16, with a pre-sale via frontiertouring.com/rollingstones from Monday December 9.
"Can't wait to reconnect with all our friends in Australia and New Zealand," Mick Jagger said. "It's been a while since we've played to you all, so we are looking forward to being back on stage and playing your favourite songs."
Keith Richards added: "We all had such a ball this year and so we wanted to keep it going! The energy between the band is better than ever and we're all looking forward to coming back Down Under. I can't wait to get back on the stage with the boys."
A limited selection of "lucky dip" seats from each venue will be available to purchase for just $99 via rollingstones.com on Monday December 16 (from 9am local time), ensuring some of the best tickets can be snapped up for a bargain by genuine fans.
Mick Taylor — a member of the band from 1969-1974 — will be a special guest for this tour, which will cover the band's biggest hits as well as some lesser known gems and a cover or two.
The stage design for the indoor concerts will be based around the band's ubiqutious tongue and lips logo, which will extend out into the audience.
The Stones were last in Australia for the 'A Bigger Bang' world tour in 2006, with shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland and Wellington.
