Rolling Stones Say They Are Considering City Residencies Rather Than a Full Tour

Keith Richards says the band plans to avoid rushing back onto the road and is weighing concentrated, tech‑driven runs that would reduce travel demands.

Overview

  • Keith Richards told Billboard that the Rolling Stones are “kicking around” alternatives to a traditional tour and are openly considering residency‑style shows.
  • The band has not announced any live dates for Foreign Tongues and Richards said they deliberately chose to release the record without rushing into touring this year.
  • Richards suggested residencies could take place in major cultural centres such as London, New York, Paris or Rome but gave no firm commitments or schedules.
  • Coverage links the Stones’ thinking to a wider shift in live music where legacy acts use extended runs at a few venues to concentrate production and cut travel strain.
  • If the band follows this path, fans can expect fewer travel demands on the group, longer production runs in single cities, and the use of high‑capacity, tech‑enabled venues to meet demand.
