Getting Into the Show: It's a "One-Way" Ticket

MetLife Stadium says tickets are valid for one scan only; there is no re-entry. If you're saying to yourself, "how'd we end up on the floor anyway?" Fans with floor tickets (Sections 1-15) can use any gate for entry and head to HCL Tech Plaza for floor entry. 

Be sure to "Pick Up the Phone" because MetLife gate attendants will be looking for the Ticketmaster App. Have your mobile ticket downloaded, out and ready before getting into the security line. 

The stadium said it will "strongly encourage" those without tickets to not come to MetLife during days of the show.

How to Get There: Will You Need a "Getaway Car"?

New Jersey Transit is urging Swifties to purchase round-trip train tickets in advance , ideally on the NJ Transit app. However, NJ Transit says they will not cap the number of tickets sold. 

According to their website, fans traveling on NJ Transit trains to MetLife Stadium should purchase their roundtrip tickets from their originating station to Meadowlands Station to avoid boarding delays. Tickets purchased on the train will include a $5 surcharge for each ticket. 

MetLife Stadium says NJ Transit service will operate from Secaucus to MetLife Stadium starting at 4:07 p.m. on Friday and 4:17 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. 

Coach USA Bus, the 351 Meadowlands Express, will operate from Port Authority in NYC to MetLife Stadium starting at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Return service to Port Authority runs for 60 minutes after the concert ends. Tickets are available here .

If You're Driving, Will You Need to Park "Behind the Mall"?

MetLife Stadium says you must have a ticket corresponding to that evening's show for access to all parking lots. Lots open at 12:30 p.m. the day of each show. It's $40 per car, $100 per limousine and $160 per bus.

Credit cards and cash are accepted. Reminder: the rest of the stadium is cashless. Only credit and debit are accepted.

If we've learned anything from TikTok, there will be traffic, so plan accordingly. Prepaid parking is not available. No pictures to burn here, take a picture of your spot so you can find your car after the show. 

Drinking Beer Out of Plastic Cups? Yes, You Can Tailgate (or Taylor-gate)

That will come as a relief to many. However, MetLife Stadium says no additional parking spots may be used. 

Taylor Will Never Go Out of "Style," But What Bags Are Allowed at the Shows?

MetLife Stadium's policy states that bags must be clear (a.k.a. see-through): 12” x 6” x 12” or less in size, and 1 bag per person. Small purses (clutch-type bags about the size of your hand) 4.5” x 6.5” or less in size (1 per person) are also allowed, and do not need to be clear.

No camera or binocular cases, backpacks, fanny packs, diaper bags, and briefcases/computer bags are allowed either.

For more information on what bags are allowed, click here .

Additionally, food or snacks in a clear plastic bag, factory-sealed, plastic bottles of water or soft drinks 20 oz. or less, empty reusable water bottles (plastic and aluminum) and small handheld portable phone chargers are allowed. 

Put simply, if you're bringing a drink inside, it must still be factory-sealed. Otherwise, a reusable water bottle can be brought in, but it must be empty upon entry. There are water fountains located inside the stadium where the bottles can be filled.

As far as other common items not allowed, be glad the weather looks good for the weekend, because umbrellas are not allowed. Also, the MetLife Stadium site lists banners or signs as forbidden as well.

For a full list of what is and is not allowed, click here .

You May Be Spinning Like a Girl in a Brand New Dress, But What About Merch Stands and Trailers?

Taylor Nation, Taylor Swift's official fan group, says ticketed fans can shop merch and the newly announced special edition CDs (more on that in a second) on Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting at 12:30 p.m. The merch truck is located in Lot E. Merch is also available starting at 4:30 p.m. at MetLife gates and the Team Store. 

Again, as we've seen from TikTok, be prepared for long lines, however, it's a great chance to make friendship bracelets. 

As for that new CD, Swift said in a tweet Wednesday there will be a new special edition CD will only be available on-site in East Rutherford. The CD sold at MetLife will have a "never before heard Midnights vault track called 'You’re Losing Me.'"

The new Midnights (Til Dawn Edition) deluxe album will feature Ice Spice o the song "Karma" as well as newly recorded vocals from Lana Del Rey on "Snow on the Beach."

Um. SO much to tell you. I’m a massive fan of this brilliant artist and after getting to know her I can confirm: she is THE ONE to watch. So delighted to say that Karma Featuring the incredible @icespicee_ will be out TOMORROW night at MIDNIGHT ET as a part of the new Midnights… pic.twitter.com/OaRrHBWTUw — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) May 24, 2023

Speaking of...Make the Friendship Bracelets, Take the Moment and Taste it:

Swifties from Glendale to Boston have been making friendship bracelets to trade at the shows. Think favorite song lyrics, Taylor Swift quotes, special dates...get creative. 

If You're Hoping to Keep Your Hearing Stay "Safe & Sound":

Swift fans who have attended previous shows have recommended concert-friendly earplugs. There are several options available online for under $20. The earplugs promise not to block all the noise or music, but to make the volume safer. 

Standing in a Nice Dress, Staring at the Sunset — How's the Weather Looking?

Our resident Swifties from Storm Team 4 say the chance for "Midnight Rain" will stay south of the tri-state. But hey, maybe an old "Cardigan" couldn't hurt for after the sun goes down.

If You're Thinking About a Dive Bar on the East Side...

Some of Taylor's favorite spots in the city and businesses around MetLife Stadium say they're ready for Swifties. In fact, many are all too happy to get a potential boon for business during what typically is a down holiday weekend. Some restaurants are even offering shuttles to the stadium , which would save you money on parking.

She Wears Short Skirts, I Wear T-Shirts — But What Outfits Are Swifties Looking to Wear to the Show?

The outfit is a key element of the Taylor Swift concert experience (after all, she's going to have more than a dozen outfit changes herself throughout each show), so it's important to do your research into what everyone is thinking of wearing.

According to Pinterest data, "Speak Now" is the most popular era for outfit inspiration searches, followed by "Lover" and "Folklore." So use that to help you form your ideas.

Keep a Wide-Eyed Gaze Around the Tri-State This Week:

Everyone from the Museum of Arts and Design to the NYC Ferry is saying, "Welcome to New York."

All I Do Is Try, Try, Try...for Tickets:

The Eras tour is one of the largest and most sought-after concert tours in history — ticket sales in the first place caused a minor meltdown at Ticketmaster.

If you can feel your heartbeat on the High Line and are still trying to get tickets, be prepared to pay up. StubHub, Vivid Seats, TickPick and GameTime are just some of the secondary market sites that are offering seats, but they'll cost a pretty penny.

As of Wednesday morning, the cheapest ticket listed on StubHub for any of the Friday, Saturday or Sunday shows was for more than $1,400. The most expensive tickets were listed for more than $21,000.

If you've been scouring TikTok looking for tips and tricks, there are some people who have had luck with Ticketmaster the day of the show, even right after the shows have started. If you wake in the night, pacing like a ghost because of ticket troubles, be careful where you buy . Scammers are using different ways to dupe Swifties into sending money online for a ticket that doesn’t exist.

For more on scams,  click here .

This May Be "The Last Time" You Get a Chance for Tickets...

The American Dream Mall, located right next to MetLife Stadium, will be hosting events each day before the concerts from 1 p.m. - 6 p.m., and that includes a shot at a pair of tickets to the show that night.

In addition to a live DJ playing all of Taylor's hits, Swifties will get a chance to sing karaoke, shop, grab a bite or a drink, and enjoy photo ops at the Tour Next Door event.

Those looking for a ticket can enter for a chance to win every day beginning Friday and ending Sunday, with the sweepstakes opening from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. each day. Winners will be announced live onsite at 5 p.m. — but an important note: Winners will need to be onsite as well to collect tickets.

Rolling Stones at MetLife Stadium review: Jagger, Richards have time on their side

3 minute read.

The Rolling Stones sure know how to throw a Jersey Memorial Day weekend party.

Jokes, topical chatter, Jersey diner menu talk and nearly two hours of some of the greatest songs in rock ‘n’ roll were on stage May 23 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.

The Stones — whose members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are both 80 — have found that sweet spot where they don’t seem to take themselves too seriously yet still remain a dangerous force of music. Back-to-back renditions of “Paint it Black” and “Gimme Shelter” rang throughout MetLife with an ominous beauty. It was glorious and a bit chilling.

 Chanelle Haynes, who's making her Rolling Stones live debut on this tour, absolutely sizzled on the female lead for "Gimme Shelter."

The band grew stronger as the night went on. Jagger made a 50-yard dash from the stage catwalk to the drum kit during “Honky Tonk Women” and didn’t seem to lose a breath.

There was a Richards surprise on Thursday. He performed two songs, "You Got the Silver" and "Little T&A," instead of his usual single spotlight.

"This next one I haven't the faintest idea what it's about, but I wrote it," said Richards of "Little T&A."

Richards also delivered a crunchy rock star guitar riff during “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” and gave the audience a knowing glance and wink while bassist Daryl Jones gave him a gap-toothed smile.

Speaking of Jones, he was extraordinary on an extended version of "Miss You" with a multi-dimensional bass solo that delivered on multiple levels. Jagger was so taken he gave him a chest bump midway through.

Jagger also tailored the lyrics for the crowd, changing the "Puerto Rican girls" line to "Argentina girls" for a young lady with an Argentina flag toward the front of the audience.

Drummer Steve Jordan, who has replaced the late Charlie Watts, is a master of understated beat keeping and pocket refinement. It's so note perfect that it's exceptional. Ronnie Wood adds personality and bite to the lineup.

The new songs from the latest album, “Hackney Diamonds,” stood up quite well to the classics. “Angry,” is, well, angry, and has an arena rock riff. “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” lifted the sky with a gospel rock buoyancy. 

The guys are up on current affairs happening in the area, including the trial of former President Donald Trump in New York City for campaign fraud.

 “I was a bit worried about he weather tonight,” Jagger said. “I thought we were going to get a Stormy Daniels but we’re all right.”

The last time the Stones played MetLife, Jagger referenced eating at the Tick Tock Diner on Route 3 in Clinton .

“It’s great to be back in New Jersey!” Jagger said after “You Can't Always Get What You Want.”

“Last time I mentioned that we had been to this diner, the Tick Tock Diner," Jagger continued. "So on the way to the show I stopped in there I found out they got a new sandwich and it’s called The Mick Jagger. I’ve never had a (blanking) sandwich named after me. I’m very, very proud.”

The Mick Jagger sandwich has pork roll, egg and cheese on it. Jagger can be a bit of a ham. He also, as the song says, moves like Jagger, with his hips swiveling, his fingers pointing into the air, arms flaying over the audience — offering a rock 'n' roll benediction to those who have been to the dark side and back.

“Hackney Diamonds” is the Stones' first LP in 18 years. The tour began April 28 at NRG Stadium in Houston, and will play 17 cities through the tour finale July 21 at the Thunder Ridge Nature Arena in Ridgedale, Missouri.

The Missouri concert was just added to the tour on May 23.

Next up is Sunday, May 26, at MetLife. Lawrence is the opener, and resale ticket prices begin at $92 via Ticketmaster .

Opener Jon Batiste took the stage with blinding flash and panache in a sequined jacket and pants to match.

“Are you ready to rock!” Batiste exclaimed as he strutted down the stage catwalk as he and his band performed “Tell the Truth.”

The multi-instrumentalist was fully kinetic and constantly in motion playing his musical melange of funk, soul, rock and gospel — even if the early Stones crowd didn’t match the enthusiasm.

“When I move my body like this I feel freedom,” Batiste said.

The New Orleans native had the answer: a sing-along on a medley that began with the soul gospel classic “People Get Ready.”

Up went the phone lights in the stadium, lighting the way.

Taylor Swift’s Best Moments at MetLife Stadium on Night 2 of Her Blockbuster Eras Tour

Taylor Swift brought her Eras Tour – which, so far, has seen arguably the biggest pop star on the planet playing to sold-out crowds on a trek that’s on track to net at least $590 million in ticket sales – to East Rutherford, New Jersey for a second night on Saturday (May 27).

Aside from the hoops everyone at MetLife Stadium went through to be present (Swift’s tour ticket sales proved too much for Ticketmaster to handle, a situation that escalated to the U.S. Congress), people showed up with fairly high expectations for the evening. After all, the previous night’s Eras Tour stop in Jersey saw a surprise appearance from Ice Spice on their newly released “Karma” remix; Jack Antonoff joined his frequent collaborator for “Getaway Car” on one of two surprise songs; and Swift debuted three flashy new outfits.

So on Saturday, the crowd was prepared for a show . And after a three-and-a-half-hour tour through the catalog of one of the 21st century’s biggest artists – one whose discography has shown a lyrical breadth and growth that few of her peers can lay claim to – attendees were more than satisfied, if not ecstatic, after night two of the MetLife dates.

It didn’t hurt that Ice Spice made her second consecutive appearance on the tour for the show-ending “Karma,” a sly pop bop that afforded the Bronx-based rapper the opportunity to flex in front of a 74,000-strong crowd of New York and New Jersey folks following the breakout success of “Munch (Feelin’ U)” and the Nicki Minaj collab “Princess Diana.”

Here are the seven best moments of Taylor Swift’s second night at MetLife Stadium.

Swiftie Appreciation Day

Early in the show, Swift acknowledged that the crowd – an audience three-times larger than the capacity at a venue like Madison Square Garden across the river — was an achievement. “New Jersey, I’m not gonna lie to you, you’re making me feel phenomenal,” Swift said. “There are a trillion things you could do this evening…. Correct me if I’m wrong and scream if I’m right: You went to a lot of effort to be here with us.” Unsurprisingly, there were no corrections forthcoming.

'Tis the Dusk Season

For a show of the caliber of the Eras Tour, it’s not always easy to tell which magical moments are meticulously plotted and which ones simply fall into place. But on Saturday night, the rotation of the earth dovetailed nicely with the show. As dusk fell and pine trees emerged from the bottom of the stage (conifers that almost seemed lifted from the experiential theater Sleep No More in NYC), Swift began singing “’Tis the Damn Season” while golden hues drenched the stage against the evening twilight.

Fans Invoke Villainous Behavior

During the Reputation segment of the evening – an era that found Swift exploring and embracing some of the inevitable cracks in the façade of perfection – a few fans took it upon themselves to play the bad guy role. A trio of Swifties invaded a couple’s floor seats when they left their chairs for a moment, and when gently questioned, they merely offered, “It’s our favorite song” before “…Ready for It” was performed. Well, that’s one way to celebrate Swift’s so-called villain era. (Most Swifties, it should be said, were excessively friendly and considerate during the show.)

Farewell to Phoebe

While opening act Phoebe Bridgers had one night left to go on the Eras Tour, Swift was already mourning the impending loss of one of her “favorite artists” on Saturday. Saying it was “devastating” that Bridgers had to leave the Eras Tour after the Jersey dates, a grateful Swift told the boygenius member she was “soaking up every single second of getting to play with you.” The two seemed especially attuned to each other while duetting, guitars in hand, on “Nothing New.”

Surprise Song #1

Swift has said that during the surprise song segments on each stop of the Eras Tour, she intends to perform songs that hadn’t previously appeared on the tour’s setlist — and never repeat a tune. Given the perimeters, speculation is pretty high each night of the tour, so after Taylor announced she would be playing “One of my favorites…. I feel like it’s a pretty good choice for tonight,” the crowd all but melted when she began playing beloved Red deep cut “Holy Ground.”

Surprise Song #2

Moving to the upright piano after “Holy Ground,” Swift gave one Lover track its first-ever tour moment in the spotlight: “False God,” her saxophone-assisted exploration of religion and sex, which helped set up the final portion of the night as Swift transitioned into Midnights . When she reached the lyric, “Staring out the window like I’m not your favorite town / I’m New York City,” the crowd naturally sang/screamed along even louder than usual.

Spice Is Twice As Nice

Twenty-four hours after Ice Spice helped Taylor give the “Karma” remix its live debut at MetLife Stadium, the Bronx rapper returned to the massive New Jersey venue to once again deliver her smooth, confident verse on the collab. Anyone thinking lightning couldn’t strike twice in the same spot was in for a rude awakening on Saturday — Spice and Swift slayed just as hard the second time.

Waited till the last minute to “Check Yes or No” on George Strait tickets?

Not a problem.

The 71-year-old country legend will be stomping down to Rutherford, NJ’s MetLife Stadium on Saturday, June 8 to deliver the fifth installment of his annual ten-concert, cross-country series after he announced his retirement from touring once his final “The Cowboy Rides Away Tour” concluded a decade ago.

At this particular show, third concourse tickets start at $71 before fees on Vivid Seats and climb up to $568 for prime viewing at the time of publication.

While that may sound pricey, Strait’s Garden State gig — which has the cheapest tickets available of any of his remaining 2024 concerts — will surely be a treat for fans based on what we’ve seen of his shows on Instagram .

Better yet, Strait’s bringing a few friends along for the ride as well. Before he takes the stage, ten-time Grammy Award winner Chris Stapleton and the trailblazing vocal band, Little Big Town will open the show for Strait.

As for what to expect from “The King,” the star often cranks out dozens of his chart-topping tunes including “All My Ex’s Live In Texas,” “Check Yes Or No,” “Amarillo By Morning,” “Carrying Your Love With Me,” along with many more singalong hits, based on our findings at Set List FM .

Clearly, you’ll want to make this show a priority. As Strait says — “ I ain’t here for a long time, I’m here for a good time.”

Can’t make it this weekend? Get the low-down on the rest of George Strait’s 2024 Stadium Tour below.

All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation.

George Strait set list

Strait takes a true “Give all I’ve got to give” approach when crafting his set lists.

You can expect him to mix some treasured classics with newer sounds from his latest “Honky Tonk Time Machine” album.

At a show earlier this month, he even teased the audience with a few songs from his upcoming “Cowboys and Dreamers” record.

Here’s an idea of Strait’s openers, closers, and encores, based on what he played live at show last year.

01.) “Deep in the Heart of Texas” (Perry Como song) 02.) “Here for a Good Time” 03.) “Ocean Front Property” 04.) “Check Yes or No” 05.) “I Can Still Make Cheyenne” 06.) “Wrapped” (Bruce Robison cover) 07.) “Nobody in His Right Mind Would’ve Left Her” 08.) “I Got a Car” 09.) “I Saw God Today” 10.) “Every Little Honky Tonk Bar” 11.) “How ’bout Them Cowgirls” 12.) “Drinkin’ Man” 13.) “You Don’t Know What You’re Missing” 14.) “That’s What Breaking Hearts Do” 15.) “Give It Away” 16.) “Codigo” 17.) “Waymore Blues” (Waylon Jennings cover) 18.) “The Weight of the Badge 19.) “The Fireman” 20.) “The Chair” 21.) “Love’s Gonna Make It Alright” 22.) “Amarillo by Morning” 23.) “Run” 24.) “Come on Joe” 25.) “It Just Comes Natural” 26.) “I’ll Always Remember You” 27.) “Troubadour” 28.) “Unwound”

The Rolling Stones 2024 tour stops at MetLife Stadium

Rolling Stones bring generations of fans together for MetLife Stadium show

E AST RUTHERFORD − Generations of people gathered Thursday at MetLife Stadium as one of the greatest classic rock bands of all time, the Rolling Stones, came to town.

The Stones are playing two shows at MetLife as part of the "Hackney Diamonds" tour.

The iconic band has been together since the 60s, inspiring many dedicated fans over the years. Dave Plaskow is one of them, he's seen 10 shows and is going to Atlanta to see his next after Thursday's.

“We were just reminiscing about how we saw the stones opening night in Philadelphia 1989,” Plaskow said.

Another longtime fan Jeff Kaszerman has only seen them three times but that still goes back to 2009.

“... When I was little I used to dream about being able to see them," Kaszerman said.

A group of friends originally from Bergenfield, who all live in different parts of the country now, met up back in Bergen County Thursday for the show. Among them were Gary Ritkes and Evan Connolly, who are glad to keep their tradition and friendship going on Thursday.

The Stones came to MetLife in 2019 and Mick Jagger famously said they ate at the Tick Tock Diner .

“It's great to be here in New Jersey, we're really loving it here,” said Jagger from the stage on Aug. 1, 2019. “It's the health food capital of the USA, right? So we went to the Tick Tock Diner and we had Taylor ham, egg and cheese! With disco fries! And sloppy joe to go!”

Instead of following suit some fans instead ate in the parking lot Thursday grilling for a traditional tailgate experience.

It was an experience some Stones fans were able to pass on to future generations. Joe and Lauri Gerardiello of Sparta came to Thursday's show with their two daughters. The couple said they grew up listening to the band’s music and have been in love with them since. Now, they have passed their fandom off to their children as well.

They said they can’t wait to have the experience of watching them perform as it’s almost everyone’s first show. but the mother’s second. Some of the couple’s favorite songs that they can’t wait to hear are "Gimme Shelter," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," among so many more.

The Rolling Stones comes a week after Morgan Wallen performed at MetLife, continuing the summer concert series.

The Rolling Stones Really Might Never Stop

During a 19-song set at MetLife Stadium that spanned 60 years, the band tapped into what seems like a bottomless well of rock ’n’ roll energy.

By Lindsay Zoladz

Reporting from East Rutherford, N.J.

“This song’s for Manhattan!” Mick Jagger told the crowd on Thursday night at MetLife Stadium, before launching into a punchy rendition of “Shattered,” that agitated ode to late-70s New York City that closes out the band’s 1978 album “Some Girls.” In the ensuing 46 years, the city has changed in some superficial ways but somehow remained essentially the same — much, as they showed throughout an impressively energetic two-hour set, like the Rolling Stones.

The Stones’ first New York-area stadium gig in five years was sponsored, without a hint of irony, by AARP. It was appropriate: At times what transpired onstage felt not just like a rock concert but a display of the evolutionary marvel that is aging in the 21st century. (Albeit aging while wealthy, with every possible technological and medical advantage at one’s disposal. I’ll have whatever vitamins the Stones are taking, please.)

Ronnie Wood, the core group’s baby at age 76, still shreds on the guitar with a grinning, impish verve. Eighty-year-old and eternally cool Keith Richards pairs his bluesy licks with a humble demeanor that seems to say “I can’t believe I’m still here, either.” And then there is Jagger, who turns 81 a few days after the Hackney Diamonds Tour wraps in July. Six decades into his performing career, he is somehow still the indefatigable dynamo he always was, slithering vertically like a charmed snake, chopping the air as if he’s in a kung fu battle against a swarm of unseen mosquitoes, and, when he needs both hands to dance, which is often, nestling the microphone provocatively above the fly of his pants. Sprinting the length of the stage during a rousing “Honky Tonk Women” — the 13th song in the set! — he conjured no other rock star so much as Benjamin Button, as he seemed to become even more energetic as the night went on.

Last year’s “ Hackney Diamonds ” — the Stones’ first album of new material in nearly two decades — was the nominal reason for the tour, but they didn’t linger on it, and the crowd didn’t seem to mind. Across 19 songs, they played only three tunes from the latest release, including two of the best: The taut, growly lead single “Angry” and, for the first part of the encore, the gospel-influenced reverie “Sweet Sounds of Heaven.” Mostly it was a kind of truncated greatest hits collection, capturing the band’s long transformation from reverent students of the blues (Richards’ star turn on the tender “You Got the Silver”) to countercultural soothsayers (a singalong-friendly “Sympathy for the Devil”) to corporate rock behemoth (they opened, of course, with “Start Me Up”).

Jagger, Richards and Wood all still emanate a palpable joy for what they are doing onstage. But those joys also feel noticeably personal and siloed, rarely blending to provide much intra-band chemistry. That is likely a preservation strategy — the surest way to keep a well-oiled machine running and to continue sharing the stage with the same people for half a century or more. But when Jagger ended a charming story about a local diner that had named a sandwich after him (“I’ve never had a [expletive] sandwich named after me! I’m very, very proud”), I did not quite buy his assertion that he, Keith and Ronnie were going to go enjoy one together after the show.

Some of that fractured feeling is likely due to the absence of the great Charlie Watts , the band’s longtime drummer who died in 2021; the Hackney Diamonds Tour is the Stones’ first North American stadium tour without him. His replacement, Steve Jordan, does about as good a job as anyone could — like Watts, he balances a rock drummer’s power with a jazzy agility — and his presence never overwhelms. Though they are surrounded by plenty of talented backing musicians, the staging makes it clear that the Rolling Stones are now a trio.

The night’s breakout star, though, was Chanel Haynes, a backing vocalist who took center stage to sing with Jagger during two of the night’s best performances. Haynes — who played Tina Turner in the West End production of the jukebox musical “Tina” before joining the Stones’ touring band in 2023 — ably filled the shoes of the mighty Merry Clayton on a blazing “Gimme Shelter,” and sat in for Lady Gaga on “Sweet Sounds of Heaven,” matching the megawatt intensity of her “Hackney Diamonds” cameo. Though Haynes could be velvety soft when the song called for it, at her most impressive she sang with a low, grumbling hunger that often swelled into ferocity, as if she were taking big, meaty bites out of the songs.

Jagger, for his part, delivered many of his lines in his signature bark: The second song, a somewhat slowed down and blues-ified “Get Off of My Cloud,” was transformed by his almost scat-like delivery. But in fleeting moments — including a few falsetto runs — he showed that a certain tenderness in his tone remains intact.

That was most apparent on a gorgeous rendition of “Wild Horses,” the song that gained inclusion in the set by winning the nightly online “fan vote.” For so much of this show, the Stones effectively proved they could outrun age, irrelevancy and all the other indignities that time brings to mere mortals. But here they settled into something more contemplative, elegiac and vulnerable, and the show was better for it.

At a time when their few remaining peers are wrapping farewell tours and bands that have been together for half as long are running on fumes, the Stones are an anomaly. It’s not that their show is devoid of nostalgia, but it’s not coasting on it either. They don’t look like they did in the ’70s — who does? — but when their sound is gelling they are able to tap into some kind of eternal present. For better or worse, they seem intent to be the last band of their generation standing, to ride rock ’n’ roll all the way to its logical endpoint. Astoundingly, they don’t sound like they’ve reached it yet.

Music and concerts | boeing’s starliner launches on historic 1st human spaceflight for nasa, things to do, music and concerts, subscriber only, music and concerts | orlando fans prepare for rocking rolling stones at camping world stadium.

Thirty years ago, the Windermere resident had the once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the famed rock and rollers perform at the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan during their Voodoo Lounge Tour. Now, the longtime fan is ecstatic that his wife and 10-year-old daughter will have the same experience when they see the Stones perform at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium on June 3 on their Hackney Diamonds Tour .

“I always liked their music, but seeing them live at that show, I had this moment of, ‘Wow, they could play all night long, and we’d never get through their great music catalog,'” Williams said. “They epitomize rock ‘n’ roll. It’s not too heavy; there’s something about the tempo and the groove that speaks to you. They have lots of catchy tunes that have meant something to me over the years.”

While Mick Jagger is still seemingly young and spry as ever, dancing around the stage at 80 years old, the couple recognizes there may come a day when the band isn’t around. That’s why it’s all the more important for their daughter, Julia, to have this experience.

“There’s some stuff you’re always going to remember from your childhood, like the soundtrack of your life,” Sara Williams said. “That’s what she’s going to think of when she’s an adult and we can’t miss this opportunity to let her have this moment. She will be talking about this until she’s in her 50s.”

Even though the rockers originated in London and came to America around the same time the Beatles landed here in 1964, Chad Williams said that the Rolling Stones are a part of Americana.

“Music imprints on our life with what’s going on at the time. I have such wonderful memories of the music that I heard in different stages of my life,” he said. “The Stones mean something to me, and I want to pass that along to my daughter, if possible.”

Part of what makes the Stones so impressive, the Williamses agreed, is their longevity — considering they started as a band 62 years ago and are still releasing new music.

“Keith Richards is going to outlive us all,” Sara said of the Stones’ founding member, guitarist and vocalist, with Chad adding: “Mick Jagger is in impressive shape, that’s for sure.”

The fans expect nostalgia to come flooding in when they attend the Central Florida show.

“I’m expecting a memory of 1994 to come right back to me when we’re in Camping World listening to their music and enjoying it,” Chad Williams said.
