Stones to play Halifax for first time CBC News The Rolling Stones put the rumours to rest Tuesday by confirming a Sept. 23 concert date in Halifax.
The legendary rockers announced plans for their first-ever performance in the city during a news conference about the North American leg of their Bigger Bang world tour.
The Stones will perform at Halifax Common, the large city park where 80,000 people gathered for a visit by Pope John Paul II in 1984.
Rumours about the Stones concert had been circulating around Halifax for weeks.
At a closed-door meeting earlier this month, Halifax municipal council voted to spend $100,000 on an outdoor rock concert for Sept. 23, but refused to name the performers.
The money is for extra policing and cleanup of the outdoor concert area in central Halifax.
The September concert will mark the Stones' second visit to Atlantic Canada in a year. An estimated crowd of 80,000 heard the band play at Moncton's Magnetic Hill last fall.
VIP tickets for the Halifax concert will go on sale on July 26, with most tickets going on sale on July 31.
