After months of speculation, we finally know when and where Mick Jagger and the boys will be touring this spring.

The Stones celebrated their 50th anniversary last year with five concert dates in London, New York and New Jersey last year, as well as a new compilation album titled GRRR!.

The new tour dates kick off in Los Angeles (date TBA due to the NHL and NBA playoffs), and run from May until June. Toronto was the only Canadian city on the list of concerts announced today.
