The Rolling Stones Roll Into MetLife Stadium

NEW YORK, NY – Get ready New York City — Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are bringing rock 'n’ roll to America next year. The Rolling Stones added more than a dozen shows to their No Filter tour next sprin, including two nights at MetLife stadium.

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.

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 importantly, don’t call it a farewell tour.

“This is a ‘hello again’ tour,” the singer told Variety.
