Ladies and gentlemen ... The Rolling Stones are back! The band has announced they will kick off their new 15-city North American stadium "ZIP CODE" tour in San Diego May 24 at Petco Park. The band will visit Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo Saturday, July 11. The tour will make stops in Columbus, Minneapolis, Dallas, Atlanta, Orlando, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Raleigh, Indianapolis and Detroit before wrapping in Quebec July 15 at Le Festival D'Été de Québec.

Tickets and VIP packages for the Ralph Wilson Stadium show will go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, April 13. For ticketing information, visit www.rollingstones.com.

Buffalo Bills club and suite account holders will have the right to purchase club/suite tickets. All other season ticket members will receive information about a presale schedule for Friday, April 10. 

American Express card members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning at 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 8, and continuing through Sunday, April 12, at 10 p.m. local for select markets.

 

"We are excited to be back in North America playing stadiums this summer! We are looking forward to being back on stage and playing your favorite songs," Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger said.

"We love being out on the road and it is great to come back to North America! I can't wait to get back on the stage!" guitarist Keith Richards added.

The Rolling Stones concert will be the first at Ralph Wilson Stadium since June 20, 2001, when the Dave Matthews Band performed in Orchard Park. The Rolling Stones have played at Ralph Wilson Stadium on four previous dates (Aug. 8, 1975; July 4, 1978; Sept. 27, 1981; and Oct. 8, 1997). 

"The Buffalo Bills are proud to host the legendary Rolling Stones at Ralph Wilson Stadium this summer. This will mark the fifth appearance for these rock icons at The Ralph, and Western New York is in store for a very special evening," Bills President Russ Brandon said.

The Rolling Stones ZIP CODE tour will see Mick, Keith, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood head back out on the road after their critically acclaimed "14 ON FIRE" tour in Asia, Europe, Australia and New Zealand in 2014. The iconic band will treat generations of fans to special one-night-only shows, with a set packed full of classic Stones hits such as "Gimme Shelter," "Paint It Black," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Tumbling Dice" and "It's Only Rock 'N' Roll," as well as special gems from the band's storied catalog.

The Rolling Stones ZIP CODE tour will be the first time the rock legends have played North American stadiums since 2005-07's "A Bigger Bang Tour."

The stage design for the stadium shows includes a thrust that extends deep into the audience allowing the Stones to interact directly with their fans. Known for their groundbreaking sets and use of cutting-edge technology, the Stones' set design will feature video screens and special effects that will enhance the high-octane experience of attending a live Stones' show.

AEG Live's Concerts West is the promoter of The Rolling Stones ZIP CODE tour.

The tour will also coincide with the Rolling Stones re-release of "Sticky Fingers" May 26 by Universal Music. "Sticky Fingers," one of the most revered albums from the Rolling Stones, is set to enthrall a new generation of fans in 2015. The 1971 classic features timeless tracks such as "Brown Sugar," "Wild Horses" and "Dead Flowers." "Sticky Fingers" 2015, with its iconic zip cover, will be unveiled in a variety of formats. The deluxe editions include a generous selection of previously unreleased Stones studio outtakes from the "Sticky Fingers" sessions and live performances from that time. These sought-after tracks have never been available until this release.

Recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and Olympic Studios in London, and produced by regular confidant Jimmy Miller, "Sticky Fingers" was released just before the Stones became tax exiles in the south of France, leaving Britain after a sensational farewell tour. It also featured some of the most groundbreaking design in rock history, with its famous working zip on the front cover and artwork by Andy Warhol.
