The trio, now aged 78 (Mick and Keith) and 74 (Ronnie), will be playing live in 10 countries, including two concerts a week apart in London and one in Liverpool, but with their début SIXTY performance in Madrid.
They will hit the Wanda Metropolitan Centre on June 1, with all-new production and a new design of their iconic lips-and-tongue logo, which was originally the creation of a London art college student in the 1970s, who was paid a whopping £50 (about €57.50) for his efforts.
This June will see the Stones back in Madrid for the first time in eight years – their last visit was in 2014 as part of their On Fire tour, then with Charlie still on the team, at Real Madrid FC's Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
And Los Rolling, as they are referred to in Spain, have met several generations of their fan-base from the stage: Probably the most memorable concert among those who were old enough to watch them live 40 years ago was at the now-defunct CF Atlético de Madrid stadium on July 7, 1982, when the heavens opened, soaking the band.
The audience were nice and dry – protected by the overhead shelters on the terraces – but the artists got a drenching, giving a new meaning to the term 'whetstone'.
Yet, exactly as a whetstone does to a knife, the rockers' show just became sharper and they carried on giving it heart and soul.
For those who will be in the UK at the time of the SIXTY tour, the concert at Liverpool FC's Anfield Stadium on June 9 will be the first in the north-western British city in over 50 years, making it a once-in-a-lifetime – or twice in the average lifetime – event; otherwise, for those based further south, two dates are planned at London's BST Hyde Park, on June 25 and July 3.
Between Madrid and Liverpool, the Stones are on at Munich Olympic Stadium (Germany) on June 5, then before they head to the UK capital, will be performing at the Johann Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) on June 13; the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern (Switzerland) on June 17; and the San Siro Stadium in Milan (Italy) on June 21.
