The new tour comes in celebration of The Rolling Stones’ latest album ‘Hackney Diamonds’ – their first full-length LP since 2005. The record included featured guest appearances from the likes of Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Elton John, and also saw the band top the charts.

Speaking with NME at the time, Ronnie Wood first teased plans to hit the road again when he revealed that it is a “must” to return to Glastonbury again.

Two years ago at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Red Hot Chili Peppers paid tribute to Taylor Hawkins, after the band stepped in for Foo Fighters as headliners following the news of Hawkins’ death earlier that year.

“We just found out about this two weeks ago, because Foo Fighters were supposed to play here tonight,” Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith said from the stage. “We love Foo Fighters, and we love our brother Taylor Hawkins. This means a lot to us to be able to play for them.”

“The guys in the band are here, they’re supporting. Taylor’s wife Alison and his whole family are here, we love them, we love Taylor,” continued Smith before getting the crowd to chant “we love Taylor.”
