Stones Tix For Christmas: Get Tickets 10 Percent Off

DENVER, CO – Get ready Denver— Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are bringing rock n’ roll to America next year, and they’re making a stop in the Mile High City. That’s right. The Rolling Stones added more than a dozen shows to their No Filter tour next spring and they’ll be in town at Broncos Stadium At Mile High on May 26.

Tickets have been selling like hotcakes.

The tour kicks off in Florida on April 20 and will also stop in Texas, Arizona, California, Washington, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Illinois and Washington, D.C. It’s a rare opportunity for Americans to see Jagger and Richards, both 75 years old, perform live on stage.

The legendary English rock band, which has produced mega hits such as “"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," “Paint It Black” and “Gimme Shelter,” has mostly played in Europe over the past few years. But Jagger said in a statement it’s a “thrill” to play in American stadiums. He told The Associated Press live shows give him a rush and he still loves going on tour.

“When you go out in front of all those people you get an enormous rush of chemicals in your body — your own chemicals, not chemicals you’ve put in,” Jagger said.He added: “Let’s face it, it is a huge buzz. Must be like playing football or something.”

Richards will join Jagger on tour, along with Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts. The band’s frontman said fans can expect a good night out and that it’ll be pretty high energy. The Stones also tailor each show to their audience.

“There’s lots of regional differences, say between Houston and New York, so you’ve got to tune yourself to that a little bit,” he told AP. “It’s slightly about adjusting your set and attitude. It’s different. It’s nice that it’s different, you don’t want it to be completely homogenous. But it’s great to be going around so many different areas, different states and so on.”

Concert-goers can also expect to hear something other than the aforementioned mega-hits. Jagger said they try to go back and find songs they don’t usually perform and mix them into each show. That way, he said, each is unique.

With that said, expect to rock out to some, or many, of the classics. People come expecting to hear certain songs, Jagger said, and if they don’t hear them they’ll say afterward “Wish he’d done that one.”

And, perhaps most important, don’t call it a farewell tour.

“This is a ‘hello again’ tour,” the singer told Variety. Patch national staffer Dan Hampton contributed to this report.
