The Rolling Stones Concerts 2026-2027: Tour Schedule, Tickets and Cities
From Satisfaction to Hackney Diamonds, rock's longest-running band on stage; a practical guide to stadium tickets, seating and travel.
Prepared by the FlyVentis editorial team and regularly reviewed for travel and event accuracy.
Who are The Rolling Stones?
The Rolling Stones formed in London in 1962 and have stayed active for more than six decades. The songwriting partnership of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards fused blues, rhythm and blues and rock'n'roll into songs such as Satisfaction, Paint It Black and Gimme Shelter that have been played across generations. Today's core line-up is Jagger, Richards and Ronnie Wood; Steve Jordan has taken the drum stool live since Charlie Watts died in 2021.
Stones tours are almost always stadium-scale with a limited number of stops, so demand from several countries converges on each date and presales sell quickly. Confirm which city, date and venue are actually scheduled in the live FlyVentis records below rather than relying on fixed text.

Why a Stones tour is short and intense
Recent tours have been planned as stadium runs lasting a few weeks and focused on one continent rather than long world tours. With so few stops, a single city draws fans from neighbouring countries, and long queues in the first minutes of a sale are normal.
Check early-access routes such as presale codes, fan-club membership or card-sponsored sales in advance. The presale and ticket queue guide helps you prepare for general sale, and the ticket scam prevention guide is useful against resale listings far above face value.
Floor or stand: choosing a stadium spot
The Stones' stage usually includes a runway reaching into the crowd, so the front of the floor is an energetic choice for seeing Jagger up close. Towards the back of the floor, however, the view depends largely on the screens. Lower tiers of the side stands are a balanced middle ground for watching both stage and screens.
Allow for tens of thousands of people leaving the stadium at once. The stadium concert ticket categories guide compares floor and stand in detail.
The Rolling Stones upcoming dates
What to expect from the setlist
Shows usually run close to two hours and feature classics such as Start Me Up, Honky Tonk Women, Sympathy for the Devil, Jumpin' Jack Flash and Satisfaction. Keith Richards' short lead-vocal segment and fan-voted songs can change from night to night, and a few tracks from the latest album join the set.
What to know before you go
- Stadium gates open hours before the show; check the support act's time on the event page.
- Stadium bag rules are strict; a small clear bag is the safest choice at most venues.
- Bring a rain jacket for open-air shows; umbrellas are banned at most stadiums.
- Find out the last public transport departure before the concert day.
How to plan travel around the concert
Secure the ticket before booking flights or accommodation. Aim to arrive at least a day before the show and stay 20–30 minutes from the venue on a direct public transport line; a same-day flight that runs late can mean missing the concert.
If the tour has several stops, compare the combined cost of ticket, flights and two nights' stay across cities rather than the ticket price alone.
Keep planning

How long is a Rolling Stones concert?
On recent tours the shows have run close to two hours. With the support act and gate opening, plan on four to five hours at the stadium.
