Sixty[1] was a concert tour by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, celebrating the 60th anniversary of the band’s formation. The tour, announced on 14 March 2022, began on 1 June 2022 in Madrid, Spain, and concluded on 3 August 2022 in Berlin, Germany.[2] [3] It was the first European tour without drummer Charlie Watts following his death in August 2021,[4] and the first time that the Stones performed their 1966 song "Out of Time" live.[5]

Format

The tour venues announced were typically large outdoor stadiums. An exception was the two Hyde Park, London shows, which were open-space events with a 65,000 capacity.

As has been the case since the No Filter Tour, the stadium shows featured general admission standing areas. Premium-cost gold circle and pit sections closer to the stage were also offered to varying degrees at each venue.

There was no b-stage to which the band wholly relocated; however, a central outward walkway existed where band members typically moved into briefly throughout the shows.
