Ronnie Wood Adds London and Cologne Dates to Rare Solo Return

Reports suggest new Stones music is coming, with large-scale touring uncertain.

Overview

  • The Rolling Stones guitarist, who announced the shows Tuesday, will play London on Aug. 21 and Cologne on Sept. 3.
  • Imelda May will open the concerts, with tickets set to go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
  • These will be Wood’s first full solo sets in more than 16 years, billed as intimate shows apart from his stadium work with the Stones.
  • The new dates follow high demand for Amsterdam’s Paradiso in September, where an added second night sold out after the first did.
  • The Stones recently issued a vinyl-only single, Rough And Twisted, under the alias The Cockroaches, and outlets report a new album is expected in July as a full UK/Europe tour remains unlikely after 2026 plans were scrapped when Keith Richards could not commit.
