Stones to play new Wembley Stadium

According to The Sun, The Rolling Stones are planning a 2006 tour and will be the first act to play the reopened Wembley Stadium.

The Rolling Stones will be the first band to play at the new Wembley Stadium when it reopens for business in 2006 (assuming it opens on time presumably - unless JCBs are part of the set). According to The Sun, the veteran rockers are planning another tour in 2006 and are scheduled to make history by being the debut act to play at the relaunched £750million venue stadium - what is set to become London's flagship sports and concert arena.

A source at Wembley told the paper: "The Stones are determined to tour again in 2006. They will warm up in Toronto and have their homecoming at Wembley. It has been planned so they will be the first band to play at the new stadium. In front of 90,000 people the noise will be deafening. It will be such a special experience for the fans and the band. Their last tour was to celebrate 40 years together and they enjoyed it so much they all feel they have another left in them. People might joke about them being wrinkly old blokes but they are still one of the best - if not the best - rock 'n' roll group out there. The atmosphere will be electric and Mick and the boys can't wait."
