Iconic rock band The Rolling Stones are coming to Liverpool's Anfield Stadium this week.
Formed in the 60s, the band achieved staggering, enduring success and are responsible for a series of mega hits like Wild Horses, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Sympathy For The Devil, Gimme Shelter and more. In celebration of their 60 years in the music industry, The Rolling Stones are embarking on a much-anticipated European tour.
On their The Rolling Stones SIXTY tour, original members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood will be joined on stage by drummer Steve Jordan, following the death of Charlie Watts last August. The band will visit cities including Amsterdam, Vienna, London, Milan and, this week, Liverpool.
