Guitarist Keith Richards adds, "We love being out on the road and it is great to come back to North America! I can't wait to get back on the stage!"

The previously leaked dates were correct. Below is our previous report:

After a false start earlier this month with their #SatisfactionThurday teases, The Rolling Stones have revealed their plans to launch a North American tour summer.

The legendary band will be kicking off 15 date tour on May 24 at Petco Park in San Diego, Ca and conclude the trek on July 15th at Le Festival d'ete de Quebec in Quebec City, according to leaked tour date information.

At press time (7:00am EST March 31st) the band has not yet made their formal announcement but the dates were inadvertently leaked on Monday ahead of the official announcement, when advertisements listing the dates appeared on the websites for Major League Baseball teams The Minnesota Twins and the Kansas City Royals.

The band teased the announcement via social media on Monday by posting a photo of an American flag version of their lips and tongue logo and advising fans to check their website this morning for a big announcement.

As previously reported, the band was expected to make the tour announcement on March 19th. WKRN reported at the time 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.
