According to the concert organizer, there will be a new date. Tickets purchased for the show remain valid.

Jagger only discovered that he had corona when he had already arrived at the Johan Cruijff ArenA. The 78-year-old singer had some symptoms and then tested positive, the band said in a statement on Instagram. It is probably mild complaints.

The Stones regret that the concert cannot take place. “But the safety of the public, the fellow musicians and the touring crew is more important,” the band said. The show was canceled just hours before the start on Monday. Some fans were already in the stadium.

Monday evening’s concert is part of the European SIXTY tour, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of The Rolling Stones. It would be the first time in five years that the British rock band would perform in the Netherlands again.
