Another big concert is coming to Bank of America Stadium. Here’s what you need to know
You can’t always get what you want, but if you are a fan of the Rolling Stones, you’ll get what you need. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the rest of the iconic band announced Thursday morning they are coming to Charlotte this fall.
The Rolling Stones will play Bank of America Stadium on Sept. 30. It’s just the second stop on the band’s rescheduled “No Filter” tour, and will be the first time the group will perform in Charlotte in 16 years.
The rock band had been scheduled to perform in Charlotte last summer, but like so many other events and shows, it got canceled in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.
Tickets are on sale now, and all tickets for the concert that was canceled will be honored at the upcoming show, according to the band. For more ticketing information, go to rollingstones.com.
Rolling Stones in Charlotte
The last time the Stones played Charlotte was in October 2005.
At the time, the group was in town to perform at the sold-out opening of Spectrum Center, which was known as the former Charlotte Bobcats Arena at the time. The Stones also held the first concert at the Panthers stadium, in October 1997, when it was called Ericsson Stadium.
Among other tours in the state, they played at Raleigh’s Carter-Finley Stadium in 2015.
“I’m so excited to get back on the stage again and want to thank everyone for their patience,” Jagger said in a statement in Thursday’s news release announcing the rescheduled tour.
Jagger will celebrate his 78th birthday on Monday.
The 13-city tour kicks off Sept. 26 in St. Louis and ends Nov. 20 in Austin, Texas. Fans looking for satisfaction in the Carolinas should know that Charlotte is the only city in North or South Carolina where the Stones will play for this tour.
More big acts returning to Charlotte
The band is just the latest big-name act to announce new dates for Charlotte concerts that had to be postponed due to COVID-19.
Last month, Tepper Sports & Entertainment announced that Elton John would be playing at the Panthers stadium on Sept. 18, 2022. Garth Brooks’ concert at the stadium, which had been rescheduled several times, is now set for this fall, Sept. 25.
And Billy Joel’s concert at Bank of America Stadium is now set to go on April 23, 2022.
