IB on Stones touring plans
GOT LIVE & THEY ALL WANT IT: Though nothing has yet been announced, the smart money is on the Rolling Stones launching their next world tour in 2011, with Live Nation, AEG and Michael Cohl all eager to produce it. The wild card in the expected competition is Stephen Bing, who has the money and the relationships. Bing, who is a big music fan, produced Martin Scorsese’s 2007 Stones concert film Shine a Light. When these suitors make their bids, involving hundreds of millions in guarantees, the key questions will be whether there will be stadiums as well as arenas, and how many high-end $400 tickets will be offered? The Stones’ last tour was the highest-grossing ever, taking in $558 million—but how bulletproof will the next one be in this economy? (11/18a)
