A legendary rock group have reportedly been forced to shelve their huge 2025 UK and Europe tour plans after failing to make the dates work.

According to The Sun, The Rolling Stones were gearing up to hit the road this summer on a mammoth tour up and down the country and beyond.

However, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, both 81, and Ronnie Wood, 77, are said to have pulled the plug after their promotors were unable to lock in the dates.

A source told the publication: ‘Promoters had been locked in discussions with The Stones about coming to the UK and Europe.

‘There had been hope the gigs would take place this summer but it’s not worked out.

‘And now it’s been shelved. But Mick, Keith and Ronnie love to perform live shows so there’s a hope that the promoters can lock in dates for next year.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives for The Rolling Stones for comment. 

The legendary rock band haven’t played a gig in their home country since 2022, when they wowed audiences at two Hyde Park concerts.

According to rumours swirling on fan websites, stadium shows were being planned for cities including London, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris and Copenhagen.  

The trio recenrly stunned American concertgoers with a major run of sold-out shows from Houston to Missouri 

Last month, an insider told MailOnline: ‘Mick, Keith, and Ronnie can’t wait to bring the show to UK audiences.

‘They’ve been planning it for months and are itching to get back out on the road and do what they do best, which is perform.’

‘All three of them feel so alive when they are in front of a stadium full of fans. It keeps them young.’

‘They want to show everybody that they have still got it. It is going to be amazing.’

It was revealed last month that the legendary rock band’s Hackney Diamonds Tour eclipsed Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour in single-night revenue pulling in a staggering £10,345,659 per night.

The iconic group banked the most per night from their concerts, according to Pollstar’s annual Voice of Live year-end review which reviews the last 12 months’ worldwide shows.

The rockers proved that legacy acts still reign supreme as the appeal of their classic hits still brings out the crowds six decades after their debut.

Fans grabbed up tickets for their 18 shows in record time and although 35-year-old Swift’s 149 global shows shattered box office records becoming the first ever to earn over a billion dollars, the superstar was around £10k a night short of the band.

However, the Shake It Off star’s finish of £1.74bn was over double that of what previous record holder Elton John with his Farewell Yellow Brick Road bought in.

The US singer’s takings of £830m in 2024 alone, almost match Sir Elton’s entire five-year total.

The Stones charged £250 on average per ticket, whereas Swift charged £180. And The Stones took home £235 million in total.

Meanwhile, Coldplay, third on the list, took home £6,186,482 per concert on their Music of the Spheres tour. This means the Stones earnings were forty per cent greater than Coldplay and they also made almost five times more than Madonna, 66.
