The Rolling Stones are going back on the road in 2024, stopping in 16 cities across the United States and Canada. 

Original members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood, along with the rest of the band, are gearing up to play some of their most popular hits ranging from “Start Me Up,” “Gimme Shelter,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” and “Satisfaction,” as well as a few cuts from their newest album, Hackney Diamonds, released in November. 

One of the most iconic bands ever, The Rolling Stones are also talked about as one of the best live acts you will ever see. 

In what may not be a stunning turn of events at all, AARP has jumped on as the sponsor of the Stones Tour ’24 Hackney Diamonds, which is set to stop by Cleveland Browns Stadium on June 15 and Chicago’s Soldier Field on June 27. 

Hackney Diamonds is the band’s first studio set of new material since 2005’s A Bigger Bang

TR3 stopping by Indianapolis

TR3 have announced they will be going back on the road early next year. 

Fronted by Dave Matthews collaborator Tim Reynolds, the trio will be touring behind their latest album, Watch It, set for release on Jan. 19. 

Reynolds and company will be at Hi-Fi in Indianapolis. 

Founded in the mid-1980s, TR3 welcomed Dan Martier and Mick Vaughn on drums and bass, respectively, in 2007 and remain a fixture in the international jam scene.

O.A.R. set 2024 dates

O.A.R., known for their dynamic blend of rock, reggae, and jam band musical styles, have continued to evolve and soothe audiences with their sound for more than two decades. 

The group’s latest album, The Arcade, was released in 2022, but the absence of new music will not keep them from hitting the road as they have announced they will tour beginning in July. 

Thirty-eight performances planned for the simply titled Summer Tour 24 include the Ravinia Festival in Chicago on Aug. 23, followed by Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre outside Detroit on Aug. 24, Jacobs Pavilion in Cleveland on Aug. 26, and Kemba Live! in Columbus, Ohio, on Aug. 29.
