Credit: Dave HoganMore hints that The Rolling Stones are planning to announce a major North American tour have popped up online and at locations across the continent.
First off, the band’s official Facebook page, Twitter feed and Instagram have posted a video depicting the Statue of Liberty and a sun with the group’s lips-and-tongue logo rising over the ocean, as the intro to “Paint It Black” plays.
In addition, according to various reports gathered by the IORR.org fan site, The Stones’ famous logo has been spotted on billboards near MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and on the Oakland Bay Bridge connecting San Francisco and Oakland, California, as well as on a scoreboard in Seattle’s CenutryLink Field. Meanwhile, an ABC News source reports that large stickers showing the logo have been seen on the sidewalks of Chicago.
Rumors about a North American tour began heating up earlier this month when the lips-and-tongue logo was spotted at two U.S. football stadiums: on a large banner hung from the outside of Denver’s Broncos Stadium at Mile High and on the scoreboard at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Also at Gillette Stadium, during a November 4 New England Patriots game, the team’s cheerleaders did a dance routine to the Rolling Stones classic tune “Start Me Up,” while revealing that they were wearing Stones t-shirts.
The Rolling Stones’ most recent trek was this year’s No Filter Tour of Europe, which ran from May until July. The last time that the rock legends toured the U.S. and Canada was in 2015; the band also played a few stateside shows in October 2016.
Stay tuned!
