The World’s Greatest Rock n’ Roll Band returned to the world’s best rock n’ roll city (that’s you, Philly) for a show at Lincoln Financial Field on Tuesday. The Rolling Stones go way back with this town and with WMMR. After a full day of concert warm-ups on air and at the stadium, we were more than ready for Mick, Keith, Ronnie and all the rest, and they absolutely delivered.
The Hackney Diamonds Tour launched after the release of the Stones’ twenty-fourth (!) studio album, taking its name from a slang phrase for broken glass. The star-studded collection features the talents of the band’s contemporaries like Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Elton John. They sound as fresh in 2024 as they did in 1964 thanks to producer Andrew Watt, whose skill in the studio and reverence for classic rock made him a top pick for the band when they began work on the album.

The Rolling Stones played a few of those new tracks for the Philly crowd, mixed in with their concert staples that never fail to make us dance (though none of us will ever look as cool as Mick Jagger does). Check out the setlist below plus photos from the gig thanks to Bill Raymond at Digital Noise Mag. Get the latest on more Philly shows happening this summer on MMR’s official Concert Calendar.
