About The Rolling Stones:
The Rolling Stones’ 14 ON FIRE tour sees Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, and Ronnie Wood hitting the road again after a series of monumental concerts in the UK and US last year. The tour brings their legendary music and groundbreaking stage performances to audiences worldwide. The Stones kicked off the 14 ON FIRE tour with their inaugural performance in the Middle East in February and are now making their way through Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. This summer, they return to Europe for the first time in seven years.
Fans can expect a setlist packed with classic hits like “Gimme Shelter,” “Paint It Black,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” “Tumbling Dice,” and “It’s Only Rock ‘N’ Roll,” along with a few surprises. Over the past year, the band has thrilled fans with the release of the documentary “Crossfire Hurricane,” the greatest hits album “GRRR!,” a headlining performance at Glastonbury, and two historic sold-out Hyde Park shows in front of 120,000 fans, documented in the concert film “Sweet Summer Sun – Hyde Park Live.”
Mick Jagger shared his excitement, saying, “I love festivals in the summertime and can’t wait for the tour to get to Europe.” Keith Richards added, “Let’s keep this show on the road … the band is in top form, so I’m really looking forward to getting back to Europe.” The Rolling Stones will announce additional major European shows for May and June over the next two weeks.
About TW Classic:
TW Classic is built on a tried-and-true formula, reminiscent of how festivals were organized in Werchter until 1994: a beautiful summer’s day, a single stage in a spacious festival field, a lively audience, and a carefully curated lineup of big-name artists performing iconic hits. Over the years, TW Classic has earned its own legendary status, featuring global stars like The Rolling Stones, The Police, Bryan Adams, Lenny Kravitz, Sting, Phil Collins, Elton John, Texas, Depeche Mode, Black Eyed Peas, and Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band.
TW Classic 2014 takes place on Saturday, June 28, at Festivalpark in Werchter, Belgium.
