The Rolling Stones opening of their latest world tour gives a preview of what to expect at the upcoming Live Earth Cconcerts. Screaming fans, lots of music, a festive event.
And a 30-mile long traffic jam.
Some 33,000 fans showed up for the show in the town of Werchter, but when Mick Jagger started off with "Start Me Up," some fans were still shuffling for position on the grounds after being stuck for hours in a 30-mile traffic jam caused by the concert and made worse by a nearby accident.
"Stones roll over Werchter," headlined De Standaard. "Stones triumph in Werchter," added De Morgen.
The "A Bigger Bang" tour will feature 30 shows across Europe, including performances in Belgrade, Serbia, and in St. Petersburg, Russia, which the band has never visited.
Matt Belamy's words describing Live Earth are absolutely perfect: Private jets for climate change.
