Rolling Stones Fans Don't Get What They Want On SatisfactionThursday


. Rolling Stones fans didn't get much satisfaction on Thursday as the band failed to announce a North American tour as many expected when the legendary group started teasing an announcement with the hashtag
#‎SatisfactionThursday‬ late last week.

As we reported on Monday, the band began hinting at a big announcement via teases posted to their Facebook page with the hashtag #SatisfactionThursday, and a link to the website www.justakissaway.rocks which featured a video with footage of the band touring set to the their classic hit "Miss You" playing in the background. The site also featured the band's lips and tongue logo above the words "Get What You Need" and the #SatisfactionThursday hashtag, as well as a signup box for email alerts.

There was speculation that the band planned to announced the details to their rumored North American tour on Thursday, but instead the band removed the video and posted a contest sign up that said "Here's your chance to utter the immortal words, 'LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE ROLLING STONES!' Grand prize includes a TRIP FOR TWO to an undisclosed location and a COMMEMORATIVE VIDEO shot by the Stones' official videographer."

So it appears they are giving a fan the opportunity to announce the band at a live performance. To add fuel to the tour rumor fire, the small print for the contest includes tour promoters AEG Live, LLC.

As for the tour announcement, WKRN reports that "the nationwide promoter's ticketing is being blamed for the delay" and the mayor of Nashville was forced postponed a planned announcement of a local show on Thursday.

Mayor Dean hinted at what the announcement would be on Wednesday when questioned by WKRN. "Let's just say, don't start me up on that topic," he joked. "I can't give you any satisfaction today answering your questions. And if you're gonna bug me about it, I'm gonna tell you to get off my cloud." Watch the video and read their report here.
