Could the days of Rolling Stones concerts instantly setting box office records be numbered? While the Stones have always enjoyed robust sales on their prior tours, the Guardian is reporting that tickets to the group's highly anticipated '50 And Counting' tour aren't moving quite as fast as the group may have hoped.

Going on tour might look glamorous, but it actually involves a lot of preparation and hard work -- even if you've been doing it for half a century, like the Rolling Stones.

The Rolling Stones have been celebrating their 50th anniversary with a slew of activity, including the recent documentary 'Crossfire Hurricane.'

We've all been to concerts by classic artists where the frontman acts excited about playing a song from the new album, even as we make our way to the bathroom and concession stands. However, Mick Jagger has admitted that there's virtually no point in trying to work the two new Rolling Stones songs into the set, because the fans don't want to hear them.

The Rolling Stones have added one more date to their '50 & Counting' North American tour, which will run through May and June. The legendary rockers have announced a concert - which they are billing as the final date on the tour - at the Verzion Center in Washington, D.C. on Monday, June 24.

Former Rolling Stone Bill Wyman seems peeved that his time on stage with his former bandmates last fall was capped to five minutes. He played two songs at both London gigs and was then asked to tour America with the band. "I said for two songs? No thank you."

It didn't seem right that the Rolling Stones were only going to play nine shows in North America on their 2013 '50 and Counting' tour. However, shortly after the exclusive pre-sale for certain credit card holder began on Friday (April 5), the band announced that, due to popular demand, they were playing another three dates.

The Rolling Stones have announced the first dates of their 2013 '50 and Counting' North American tour, which will visit nine cities in May and June. Former guitarist Mick Taylor will be a "special guest throughout the tour," to use the band's own words.

Even while we await word on an expanded U.S. tour, the Rolling Stones have confirmed a date in their native UK -- as headliners at the Glastonbury Festival on June 29. Stones frontman Mick Jagger tweeted this earlier today: "Can’t wait to play Glastonbury...
