The Rolling Stones are reportedly gearing up to announce a European tour for 2025.
The legendary rock band wowed in the US with their sold-out Hackney Diamonds tour, which kicked off in Houston in April and wrapped up in Missouri in July.
After their success overseas, Sir Mick Jagger, 81, Keith Richards, 80, and Ronnie Wood, 77, are apparently lining up a major run of UK shows throughout spring and summer next year.
The reports mean that British fans who didn’t get a chance to see their idols perform in the US can catch a show in the UK.
‘The Stones had phenomenal success on their North American Hackney Diamonds tour and there is no doubt their European shows will pack the same punch,’ a source told The Sun.
‘Mick, Keith and Ronnie have now signed off on the shows which will take place across stadiums next year.’

Last week, band member Ronnie revealed the trio’s plans for a Europe takeover in 2025.
He told BC Radio’s Front Row they are hoping to go on a ‘tour of Europe… next year’.
The Rolling Stones released Hackney Diamonds, their first album of original material in 18 years, in October 2023.
The album went straight in at number one – the 11th time the band have achieved this feat.
It was quickly classified as the fifth fastest-selling album of the year and the third most streamed album on Apple Music.
The rockers hit 16 major cities in North America in support of the album, including New Orleans, Las Vegas, Seattle, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles and Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Stones had last performed across the US in 2021 for their No Filter tour, marking the first time they had toured without drummer Charlie Watts since 1963.
Music aside, Ronnie has been making waves in the art world.
Last week, the rock icon, 77, hosted a gallery launch of his own artwork with his wife Sally, 46, in London.
The legend was hand-in-hand with Sally as he launched his exhibition at the Andrew Martin shop on Walton Street in Chelsea.
The musician has made more than £1million through his paintings, with accounts filed in 2023 revealing made a mᴀssive £1,437,277 in profit the previous year.
He discovered his talent for painting at Ealing Art College in the 60s alongside fellow stars Freddie Mercury and Pete Townshend.
After finding fame, Ronnie picked up a paint brush again in the 80s.
He previously said: ‘When I am painting, I lose track of time. I get engrossed. It’s great.’

One of his paintings, unveiled in March 2023, depicted The Rolling Stones – among them late drummer Charlie Watts – performing on a street in Havana.
Taking to Instagram to share the new piece, he wrote: ‘Ronnie’s latest portrait of the Rolling Stones shows the band on a Havana Street, with Charlie playing a Cuban drum, Mick dancing with a flourish and Darryl throwing his Fedora into the air!
‘The painting illustrates how the band were inspired and invigorated by the Havana musical scene and the people of Cuba, at the time of their spectacular free concert for over 500,000 people.’
Another painting is dated March 25, 2016 and showed the setlist of the free concert that the band played in Cuba, which was filmed for Havana Moon.
