Rolling Stones bring Hackney Diamonds Tour to Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara

The Rolling Stones have been touring North America since 1964.

And one thing hasn’t changed in all those years:

It’s always a really big deal when Mick Jagger and company hit town.

That’s certainly the case with the band’s July 17 show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, which is been a really hot topic among Bay Area rock fans basically ever since the group announced plans for its Hackney Diamonds Tour in November.

The trek supports the album of the same name, the group’s 24th full-length studio effort and its first collection of all original material since 2005’s “A Bigger Bang.” The record has earned some really nice reviews, both by critics and fans, yet that’s not going matter much when it comes to what songs concert-goers will most want to hear in Santa Clara.

In other words, Bay Area fans aren’t paying those big bucks in order to experience the new album’s “Mess It Up” performed live. Instead, they’ll surely be turning out to Levi’s in hopes of hearing such classics as “Gimme Shelter,” “Miss You,” “Paint It Black” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.”

And, judging by the setlists we’ve seen, they’ll most likely get them when the Stones roll back into the Bay Area on July 17.

Showtime is 7:30 p.m. and tickets start at $118 (subject to change), ticketmaster.com.
