Roll & Sting in the State: Rolling Stones Might Rock Sevilla’s Cartuja Stadium
Sevillians’ dream of seeing legendary rockers Rolling Stones in their own city is inching closer to reality. Reports suggest the British band’s ‘Hackney Diamonds 2025’ tour could reach the Estadio Olímpico de la Cartuja on May 24, although nothing is confirmed yet.
Rumors have been swirling on music forums since the Daily Mail confirmed the group’s new European tour, set between May and July, with around 14 stops in various capital cities. Spanish music portal Plásticos y Decibelios added fuel to the fire, hinting at Sevilla’s inclusion in the tour.
If the tour plans hold, the Stones might kick off in Barcelona (May 10-11), followed by Lisbon and Sevilla, with a near-full European circuit including Rome, Amsterdam, Zurich, Copenhagen, London, Berlin, Munich, and Paris (July 19).
This would be the third major event at the revamped Cartuja Stadium, following the Copa del Rey final (April 26) and Manuel Carrasco’s concert (May 17). The stadium, set to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, is being upgraded to seat 70,000, potentially hosting over 80,000 fans for the Stones’ concert.
While the band’s official website is yet to confirm 2025 dates, anticipation builds as fans await the official announcement. Last year’s ‘Hackney Diamonds’ tour started in Houston and spanned 20 shows in the US and Canada.
This isn’t the first time Sevilla has Courted the Stones. In 2011, rumors surfaced of a potential Cartuja gig after visits from Springsteen, Madonna, AC/DC, Maná, and U2, who drew 80,000 in 2010. If confirmed, Sevilla would host the Stones for the third time in Andalusia, following Málaga (1998) and El Ejido (2007).
The Stones’ Spanish love affair kicked off in 1976 at Barcelona’s Monumental bullring. Since then, they’ve graced the country 23 times, with Barcelona being their most frequent stop.
