The Stones’ ’24 Hackney Diamonds Tour marks the first time Jumpin’ Jack Flash has returned to the US for an official run of concerts since the No Filter Tour in 2019 — and the first time since the death of longtime drummer Charlie Watts in August 2021.
Tickets for the upcoming tour go on sale on December 1st at 10am local time, and more information is available on the Rolling Stones website.
Before release Hackney Diamonds last month, the band held an intimate concert at the Racket Club in New York, where members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood performed songs such as “Shattered,” “Angry,” “Whole Wide World” and “Jumpin’ Jack” Flash.”

The performance included the live debut of Hackney Diamonds the song “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” with a surprise appearance by Lady Gaga, who provides guest vocals on the track.
The Stones announced Hackney Diamonds at a press event in London earlier this month, where Jagger, Richards and Wood took the stage to talk to Jimmy Fallon about the album.
“We wouldn’t have released this album if we really didn’t like it,” Jagger, 80, told Fallon. “We have to say we’re very pleased with it. We’re not big-headed, but we hope you like it.”
In an emotional moment, the trio also touched on what it was like to record the album without Watts. “Since Charlie is gone, everything is different, he is number four,” Richards (79) said. “It’s missed, it’s worse. Of course it’s incredibly missed.”
