Rolling Stones announce tour
The rockers, whose tours have been among the top-grossing concerts ever, announced another junt around the world in grandiose fashion Tuesday, circling New York's sprawling Van Cortlandt Park in a yellow blimp embazoned with their red tongue trademark.

"We had a very interesting first-time experience on the airship." Mick Jagger said after emerging from the blimp. "We had a really good time on it."
NEW YORK — The Rolling Stones staged an eye-popping spectacle that drew fans and media from around the globe — and they haven't even gone on tour yet.
The tour, their first since their top-grossing 1999 tour, will mark the band's 40th anniversary. It will kick off on Sept. 5 in Boston. According to the Rolling Stones official website, no date is planned for the band to tour in the Kansas City area.
When asked why the band was heading out once again — they haven't even begun working on new material for the album — Jagger joked: "Either we stay at home and become pillars of the community, or we go out and tour. We couldn't really find any communities that still needed pillars."
The tour is expected to rake in
millions of dollars. The Stones already hold the record for the highest-grossing concerttour ever with their 1994 tour, which brought in $121.2 million, according to Gary Bongiovanni of Pollstar, a concert magazine.
This time around, the band will play clubs as well as stadiums and arenas.
Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood looked as if they were having plenty of fun even before the news conference began. The foursome boarded the blimpat the park and circled the area for about 15 minutes before landing.
"Any year that they have toured, they have produced the biggest tour of that year," said Bongiovanni.
They had even more fun at the news conference, cracking jokes as reporters asked questions.
When one asked if they would do any songs from the past, Richards said: "The set list is a bit down the road. It just depends if we can remember them."
One reporter reminded Jagger about a 1972 comment — made "a couple of years after I was born," she noted — that he would rather die than still be singing "Satisfaction" at age40.
"How old are you going to be and when are you going to get sick of it?" she asked.
"Who knows if we're going to do 'Satisfaction' on this tour?" retorted the 58-year-old.
About 300 fans turned out for a chance to see the band, which formed in 1962.
"I wanted to be able to say that I saw their blimp come down," said Kathleen Wieblack, who came from suburban Long Island to the Bronx.
"I've seen the last three tours," said Richard Bell, who traveled from upstate New York. "Hopefully I will get tickets to see them."
Bongiovanni said unlike some aging rock bands, the Stones were able to outseil more contemporary bands because of "their ability to still stay vibrant and not be a classic rock act that just goes through the motions for a great pavaday."
Tour promoter Michael Cohl said tickets for the first few dates would goon sale this week. Prices will range from $50 to $100.
Among the opening acts:
Sheryl Crow, No Doubt, Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang.
The group has not released an album since 1998's "No Security" jagger put out his own solo disc last year, "Goddess in the Doorway", which was a commercial flop.
Jagger said the band was just beginning to work on new material for an upcoming greatest hits disc that would include new songs.
