Rumors of The Rolling Stones mounting a 50th anniversary tour in 2013 continue
to proliferate. The latest buzz
claims the band will play 18 concerts, including multiple nights in
select cities. Of course, no one in the know is willing to go on
record.

Coming to us from Examiner.com is the claim that the band will hit the road in
the spring. Keeping in line with earlier reports, Examiner.com sez newly formed
Virgin Live and Paul Dainty’s Dainty Group will be the promotion forces behind
the tour.
Meanwhile, an interview with a member of
Kasabian seems to suggest that The Stones will play England’s
Glastonbury festival this summer. Speaking to MTV News, Kasabian’s Sergio
“Serge” Pizzorno said Mick Jagger & Co. would be a tough act to top.
“I hope ours is the most talked about
performance of the weekend, but that would be a miracle because The
Rolling Stones are playing Glastonbury,” Serge said.
In mid-February Rolling Stones member Ronnie Wood talked up a Glastonbury
appearance. When asked about the
possibility of the band headlining the festival’s Pyramid stage, Wood
told London’s Independent that he and his bandmates would meet in March and
that Glastonbury would be his first question.
“It’s something I’ve always been interested in,” Wood said. “I’m going to
twist their arms.”

So far, The Rolling Stones camp has yet
to even confirm a single date let alone a tour. But those late 2012
shows in the U.S. and London were once mere rumors. We’ll just have to
wait and see how this pans out.
