The Rolling Stones have dropped a double whammy of concert news, announcing plans to perform at Super Bowl XL as well as a mammoth European summer tour.
The group will perform at halftime during the 40th anniversary of the NFL championship, which will take place at Detroit’s Ford Field February 5. The game, watched by 133 million in the U.S. last year, is being broadcast to more than 225 countries and territories.
The Super Bowl performance will take place in the midst of the band’s ongoing tour of North and South America.
The Stones’ Euro tour will kick off May 27 at Barcelona, Spain’s Olympic Stadium, continuing through Western and Eastern Europe for more than three months. More than 30 concerts are confirmed across nearly 20 countries, finishing in the U.K. at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium August 29.
