“Okay, that’s enough… Come to Argentina NOW,” is one of the featured comments on the guitarist’s new Instagram post. Ron Woodmember of the Rolling Stoneswho are in the middle of a tour that promises to take them all over the world. While waiting for confirmation of the next dates and locations, the expectation in this part of the world is total. And even more so when there is a wink from the musician.
The event occurred within the framework of the Hackney Diamonds Tour which began on April 28 in Houston and on board which they will visit 16 stages in cities in the United States and Canada. The musician published an image in which about twenty fans can be seen carrying two Argentine flags with the classic language logo as well as inscriptions referring to the current tour of Their Satanic Majesties.
The image is accompanied by a text from Ron himself in which he expresses: “Thank you very much to all the Argentine fans supporting us on the Hackney Diamonds tour of North America”, written in Spanish and English, which immediately led to a succession of virtual requests for a hypothetical fifth visit to the country to take place. In the absence of an official announcement about a tour in South America, the comments on Wood’s publication reflect the desire of Argentine fans to see the band in the country. Some even speculate that the group could offer news in the second half of the year.
“I don’t know what you’re waiting for… I’ll make you a little space at home to cut costs, go ahead.” Ronnie“, highlighted one of the almost 2,000 comments that the snapshot received. For his part, journalist Matías Martin was not left out and took this post as a nod to what is to come, expressing: “Ready. “There is one more visit.” For his part, another of the followers stated: “Great Ron! I hope we can see you again in Argentina. And if not, we will still be eternally grateful for everything they gave us,” making the local sentiment clear.
When the tour was announced last November, the Argentine producer Daniel Grinbank He published on his networks his desire to bring the band back. “I would love to produce them again, but it is not my decision,” he wrote at the time. After that, in conversation with Teleshowratified his words and explained what would have to happen in the event that the Stones consider going down to South America.
“The Argentine factor includes economic variables and the availability of stadiums”, stated the producer. “Taking a premise of three or four shows, we need three weeks: one for assembly and two for the shows that would be done every three days. And then there is the economic situation”.
Grinbank fulfills a ritual he adopted some time ago: attending the first and last concert of each Stones tour. In this case, he opened in Houston and will close on July 17 in Santa Clara, California. “I am interested in the opening out of curiosity and the closing because it is where they take stock of how things went artistically, how they felt and from there, they decide if there is a future.”
What happens in that evaluation of the group’s small table is what keeps the local Stone country in suspense. Grinbank is cautious, although his tone shows the adrenaline that something big could happen. “Any future analysis that he can make today is based on unsound conjectures. We have to wait and see how this tour goes and then see. What I do believe is that, if the balance is positive, South America will be on the radar”
