On Monday, The Rolling Stones announced their highly hinted-at 13-date 2019 U.S. stadium tour. In addition to the announced dates, the rumor mill has been buzzing about the Rolling Stones making an appearance at next year’s New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. With the festival adding an extra day in 2019, many have speculated that the Stones will hit New Orleans on the annual festival’s second Thursday (May 2nd). As of now, no announcement has been made by the band or the festival to confirm this widely-held hunch. Or has it?
Shortly after yesterday’s tour announcement, Mick Jagger posted a Facebook video in which he mentions all of the cities on the upcoming tour by name. However, there’s a city that Mick Jagger mentions at the 20-second mark of the video that’s not on The Rolling Stones official tour announce. You can hear Jagger sing “…Miami, Florida—Jacksonville and Houston—New Orleans and Glendale …”
You heard that right…New Orleans! Listen to Mick Jagger’s potential Rolling Stones Jazz Fest leak below:

As Mick Jagger noted in a statement, “It’s a thrill when we play stadiums in the States, the energy is always amazing!” Keith Richards added, “I’ve always loved playing the states. It’s a great crowd.”
