Fans might want to take a look at a billboard around town. The last time the Rolling Stones played here – 2015 on the Zip Code Tour— they announced their upcoming presence via billboards throughout the city.
Here is a portion of the Trib’s 2015 concert review:
“The man is a marvel,” Rege Behe wrote about Mick Jagger. “At 71, he pranced, he danced, he gyrated across the stage with a grace and energy worthy of a ‘Dancing With the Stars’ contestant.”
