As telegraphed by cryptic clues on their social media channels, and the appearance of their iconic logo in locations across America last weekend, The Rolling Stones have announced a series of stadium shows to kick off their Hackney Diamonds world tour.
The 16-city trek will launch on April 28 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, and carry on through to July 17, when the tour reaches its climax at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
The legendary English rock n' roll band played one show in America this year, with a surprise club show in New York, during which they premiered Hackney Diamonds' first single Angry, their 'punk' tune Bite My Head Off, Whole Wide World, and Sweet Sounds of Heaven, which featured, as on the record, a guest appearance from Lady Gaga.

In an interview with the BBC last month, Keith Richards promised that the Stones would take Hackney Diamonds on tour next year, "if everybody is still standing."
"We're all in good fettle," 'The Human Riff' stated. "We're not looking at each other and saying, 'time's up'."
