Stones to roll through China
- Share via
The Rolling Stones will play concerts in China next month for the first time in their 40-year history as part of their “Forty Licks” world tour, concert organizers said Thursday.
In the late 1970s the Stones held high-level talks about touring China. But those were the days when China feared spiritual pollution from the West, and the band never took its high-energy, high-tech shows to a China just emerging from Mao Tse-tung’s cultural revolution.
Now the British rock group will play Shanghai on April 1 and Beijing on April 4, organizers told a news conference. The Stones’ swing through Asia also includes concerts in Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and India.
