The Rolling Stones are sending Aussie fans into a frenzy after hinting at upcoming tour Down Under
Legendary rock band The Rolling Stones drove Australian fans wild this week after posting a video on social media hinting at an upcoming Australian tour.
Longtime guitarist Ronnie Wood, 76, shared the footage on Instagram, which shows the band’s iconic tongue and lips logo forming over the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
Woods was tight-lipped about officially announcing a tour date, simply posting a link to the band’s website.
On the band’s official website, the countdown will end on Wednesday, indicating that big news will be announced then.
Many of Woods’ Aussie fans freaked out over the cryptic video and asked him if he was secretly announcing another tour.

The Rolling Stones, currently consisting of Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards, last performed in Australia in November 2014, as part of their 14 On Fire World Tour.
Last year they toured Europe for the last time in celebration of their sixtieth anniversary as a band.

After six decades of touring, the iconic band has perfected their backstage routine, with crew members revealing the behind-the-scenes secrets of life on the road.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal that the group still likes to mix things up, only establishing their final setlist less than an hour before they take the stage.
With a back catalog of over 400 songs, the group keeps their encores of Gimme Shelter and Satisfaction the same every night, but will frequently switch hits during the performance.

The Rolling Stones were formed in London in 1962 and consisted of singer Mick Jagger and musicians Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, Brian Jones and Charlie Watts.
Jagger and Richards are the only original members still with the band.
