Keith Richards said: “It’s such a joy to play with this band there’s no stopping us, we’re only just getting started really.”

Mick Jagger added: ‘‘This part of the ‘No Filter’ tour is really special for the Stones. We are looking forward to getting back onstage in the summer and playing to fans in the UK and Ireland. It’s always exhilarating going to cities we haven’t played for quite a while and also some new venues for us like Old Trafford & The London Stadium.’’

“When I look out at the sea of people when we play all I can see is smiles,” Ronnie Wood said. ”It’s heart-warming and I’m glad we make people happy. Music makes me happy, and it makes them happy…. it’s infectious”
