Get ready for more Rolling Stones concerts! Billboard is reporting that The Rolling Stones will play "fewer than 20 U.S. dates" in the first half of 2013, according to "multiple sources." If confirmed with an official announcement, this will continue the run of 50th anniversary celebratory concerts that began late last year with shows in Newark, NJ; Brooklyn, NY; and London, England.

It's been quite the active time for the band. Besides the performances in December, they released GRRR!, a compilation album, in November.

If they're to tour in the first half of the year, tickets will need to go on sale relatively soon. Nothing on that yet, but we'll post more information when it comes in.
