The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band just announced they’re adding three shows to their ‘The Stones Tour ’24 Hackney Diamonds’ run next spring and summer due to overwhelming demand.
That includes a huge concert at East Rutherford, NJ’s MetLife Stadium on Sunday, May 26 in addition to their Thursday, May 23 gig.
They also added second shows at Chicago’s Soldier Field and Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium.
And if you want tickets to sing along to “Gimme Shelter,” “Street Fighting Man,” “Let’s Spend The Night Together,” “Tumbling Dice,” “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” as well as tracks from from their recently released, rapturously received record, you can grab them as soon as today.

The Rolling Stones new music
On Oct. 20, the Stones released their 26th American studio album, “Hackney Diamonds,” featuring special guests Paul McCartney, Elton John, Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder.
Comprised of 12 hard-rocking tracks that wouldn’t be out of place alongside their singalong stadium anthems of yore, “Diamonds” shows that Mick, Keith and Ronnie still have their sticky fingers on rock and roll’s pulse.
“We wouldn’t have put this album out if we didn’t really like it,” Jagger, 80, told Jimmy Fallon. “We must say that we are quite pleased with it. We’re not big-headed but we hope you like it.”
If you’re looking to sample the record, we suggest starting with the fierce lead track “Angry” and the wistful ballad “Dreamy Skies.”
