SHORT TAKES : Stones Japan Tour Sells Out
Those granddaddies of rock, the Rolling Stones, have done just about everything and performed just about everywhere in the 25 years they’ve busted the charts with foot-stomping, finger-popping hits.
Everywhere except Japan.
The Stones will take their “Steel Wheels” tour to Japan for nine SRO performances at the 45,000-seat Tokyo Dome in mid-February. The 405,000 tickets sold out the second day of purchase, becoming the largest sellout ever of consecutive shows there.
The Stones are expected to perform a 2 1/2-hour set of their classic hits as well as new material from the “Steel Wheels” LP. The multi-platinum album from Columbia Records entered the Japanese charts at No. 1 and marks the band’s return to the top of the pop charts internationally.
