Rolling Stones: AEGLive Grabs Tour Away from Branson and Australian, Already Had Hyde Park

I broke the story that AEG Live would promote two huge  Rolling Stones concerts in July in Hyde Park. The rest of the tour — 18 dates in the US– were going to be handled by Paul Dainty of Australia working for Richard Branson’s Virgin Live. Dainty and Branson handled the dates in Brooklyn, New Jersey and London last winter. But now AEGLive, under Randy Phillips, has taken over the new tour completely. Very interesting since AEG Live was for sale until recently. But they’ve risen like a phoenix. More details to come shortly. But I’ve confirmed this part with my sources, adding to the original scoop. This is likely the Stones’ last tour so it will be a big deal and a big payday. Ticket prices will be astronomical. More to come…
