You heard it here first, but here are the details and some nice notes from the GT SID department.
THE FLATS ([/B]March 31, 2015) -Ladies and gentlemen...The Rolling Stones are back! The band has announced that they will kick off their new 15-city North American stadium, ZIP CODE tour, in San Diego on May 24 at Petco Park. The band will visit Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta on June 9. The tour will make stops in Columbus, Minneapolis, Dallas, Orlando, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Raleigh, Indianapolis, Detroit and Buffalo before wrapping in Quebec on July 15 at Le Festival D'Été de Québec.
Tickets go on sale Monday, April 13 at 10 a.m. Tickets will be sold through Georgia Tech partner Ticket Alternative atwww.rollingstones.com. Tickets will not be available through the Georgia Tech Ticket Office.
"We are excited to be back in North America playing stadiums this summer! We are looking forward to being back on stage and playing your favorite songs." - Mick Jagger
"We love being out on the road and it is great to come back to North America! I can't wait to get back on the stage!" - Keith Richards
It will be The Rolling Stones' first trip to Atlanta since 2002 when they played at Turner Field and their second trip to Bobby Dodd Stadium. The Stones' 1989 concert was the first held in the newly renamed Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field. It will be the 10th concert held at Bobby Dodd Stadium and the first since Pink Floyd played two dates in 1994.
"It is an amazing opportunity for Georgia Tech Athletics to host one of the world's truly iconic bands in one of the nation's best college stadiums," Georgia Tech AD Mike Bobinski said. [/URL]"Bobby Dodd Stadium will be a great venue for The Rolling Stones and their fans, and we look forward to hosting more special events in the years ahead."
The Rolling Stones ZIP CODE tour will see Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood head back out on the road after their critically-acclaimed 14 ON FIRE tour in Asia, Europe, Australia and New Zealand in 2014. The iconic band will treat their generations of fans to special one night only shows, with a set packed full of classic Stones hits such as "Gimme Shelter", "Paint It Black", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Tumbling Dice" and "It's Only Rock 'N' Roll", as well as special gems from their extraordinary catalog.
The Rolling Stones ZIP CODE tour will be the first time the rock legends have played North American stadiums since 2005-2007's "A Bigger Bang Tour."
The stage design for the stadium shows includes a thrust that extends deep into the audience allowing the Stones to interact directly with their fans. Known for their ground-breaking sets and use of cutting-edge technology, the Stones' set design will feature video screens and special effects that will enhance the high-octane experience of attending a live Stones' show.
AEG Live's Concerts West is the promoter of The Rolling Stones ZIP CODE tour.
The tour will also coincide with the Rolling Stones re-release of Sticky Fingers on May 26 by Universal Music. Sticky Fingers, one of the most revered albums from the Rolling Stones, is set to enthrall a new generation of fans in 2015. The 1971 classic features timeless tracks such as 'Brown Sugar,' 'Wild Horses,' 'Bitch' and 'Dead Flowers'. Sticky Fingers 2015, with its iconic zip cover, will be unveiled in a variety of formats. The deluxe editions include a generous selection of previously unreleased Stones studio outtakes from the Sticky Fingers sessions and stunning live performances from that time. These sought after tracks have never been available until this release.
Recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and Olympic Studios in London, and produced by regular confidant Jimmy Miller, Sticky Fingers was released just before the Stones became tax exiles in the south of France, leaving Britain after a sensational farewell tour. It also featured some of the most ground breaking design in rock history, with its famous working zip on the front cover and artwork by Andy Warhol.
Other artists to perform at Bobby Dodd Stadium include Yes (1974), Bob Seager & the Silver Bullet Band (1977), Heart (1977), Cheap Trick (1977), Foreigner (1977), The Doobie Brothers (1978), Aerosmith (1979), Simon & Garfunkel (1983), New Kids On The Block (1990), and Jimmy Buffett (1993).
In 1935, a standing-room only crowd of more than 50,000 packed Historic Grant Field to listen to a speech from Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Nelson Mandela gave a speech in the stadium in 1990 after being released from prison.
Nestled among Atlanta's skyscrapers, Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field is one of nation's most unique college football settings. Originally built in 1913 by members of the Georgia Tech student body, Bobby Dodd Stadium is the oldest on-campus FBS stadium. It was known as Grant Field until April 1988, when the Georgia State Board of Regents voted to add the name Bobby Dodd Stadium in honor of the Yellow Jackets' legendary head football coach.
