THE Rolling Stones are set to tour the UK for the first time in five years, The Sun can reveal.

Veteran rockers Keith Richards, 74, Mick Jagger, 74, Charlie Watts, 76, and 70-year-old Ronnie Wood will play five dates across the nation.


The band will kick off at West Ham’s London Stadium on May 22, followed by a concert at Old Trafford, Manchester, on June 5.

From there, they move on to Scotland and Edinburgh’s BT Murrayfield Stadium on June 9 before visiting Wales to play the Principality Stad­ium, Cardiff, on June 15. The Stones’ final UK date is at Twickenham on June 19, although they will also perform in Dublin, Germany, France, Poland and the Czech Republic.

The legendary band last played on home turf in Summer 2013. A gig on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage was followed by two shows at London’s Hyde Park in front of 65,000 fans.

Guitarist Keith said: “It’s such a joy to play with this band. There’s no stopping us — we’re only just ­getting started really.”


The latest tour, for which tickets go on sale on Friday, is Part Two of the ‘Stones — No Filter’ series.

Singer Mick said: “This part of the No Filter tour is really special for the Stones. We are looking forward to getting back on stage and playing to fans in the UK and Ireland.

“Its always exhilarating going to cities we haven’t played for quite a while — and also some new venues for us like Old Trafford and The London Stadium.’’

Ronnie said: “When I look out at the sea of people when we play, all I can see is smiles. It’s heart-warming and I’m glad we make people happy.

“Music makes me happy, and it makes them happy — it’s infectious.”

Drummer Charlie said: “The audience is the glue that keeps us tog­ether. The best and most satisfying moment is when you’re reaching the end of the show and they’re all going nuts.”
