The Rolling Stones recently revealed that they'll be making a return to Gillette Stadium on May 30, 2024. This appearance is part of the band's "Hackney Diamonds" tour, encompassing 16 performances across various cities as reported by the CBS News reports. The tour is supported by AARP and is set to attract their loyal, mature set of fans.

2005 marked the last occasion for The Rolling Stones to release an album comprised of original songs, titled "A Bigger Bang." Their newest album, "Hackney Diamonds," introduces a fresh phase for the band after the passing of original drummer Charlie Watts in 2021 according to NBC Boston.

Though the band has undergone changes, fans can eagerly anticipate the enduring dynamic between lead singer Mick Jagger, 80, lead guitarist Keith Richards, who celebrates his 80th birthday in December, and guitarist Ron Wood, 76. This "Hackney Diamonds" tour announcement comes at a time as society begins thoroughly examining ageism, acknowledging the capabilities of older individuals within various industries.

Famous hits like "Start Me Up," "Gimme Shelter," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Satisfaction" will be blended with obscure tracks and new material from "Hackney Diamonds" during the tour, NBC Boston reported. The band's diverse musical repertoire effectively enables them to engage with different generations of fans.

The Rolling Stones' decision to collaborate with AARP for the "Hackney Diamonds" tour highlights their understanding of their fan base and acceptance of their aging. This partnership also aims to remind everyone that all age groups have the potential to excel in their respective fields and keep their connection with their followers, states CBS News.

Starting Friday, December 1, at 10 a.m., tickets for The Rolling Stones' "Hackney Diamonds" tour at Gillette Stadium will become available for purchase according to CBS News.
