The Rolling Stones have announced a tour that will see them playing in the North.
The band, made up of current members Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, are embarking on their Sixty tour this summer, named after the length of time they have been playing together.
To mark the anniversary and tour, award-winning British designer Mark Norton has created a new version of the Stones’ famous tongue logo. The new design uses the original tongue outline, but the classic red colour has been replaced with a mix of bright tones, with a pink and yellow outline encasing a colourful blue pattern.

The tour will consist of 14 shows in 10 countries across Europe, starting in Madrid on June 1. The Stones will also make a return to their home turf, with a concert at Liverpool FC’s Anfield stadium and two shows at BTS Hyde Park in London.
The Stones will be joined on the tour by Steve Jordan on drums after the death of the band’s long-time drummer Charlie Watts. Jordan, 65, was drafted in to play on the Stones’ No Filter tour last year when Watts was unable to perform due to health issues.
Watts later died on August 24 2021 at the age of 80.
The tour will include a number of classic Stones songs like Gimme Shelter, Jumpin’ Jack Flash and (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction. The show will also feature high-level production including sprawling stages, cutting-edge lighting and state-of-the-art video design.
Dates run from June 1 to July 31, with the Liverpool concert on June 9 and Hyde Park on June 25th and July 3rd.
