everyone but Kanye West. He’s a joke. Lauren Hill in 3 years.

nope

Sloan is the perfect selection. DMB is a ridiculously safe selection. Alice Cooper seems a bizare choice, though nothing can make an old British Invasion band seem less anachronistic than Alice Cooper.

I have seen Sloan 2 or 3 times and they are definitely the right band to open up for the Rolling Stones…absloutely rockin’! but Dave Matthews? Even Alice Cooper is a bit of an odd choice. Why the Raconteurs or (especially) Wolfmother weren’t asked to the tour boggles my mind!!!

DMB/Stones that gonna be one hard ticket to get. Putting two of the most popular bands together it should be a co-headline concert. I wish i could go to that.

No one under 40 can afford a ticket to a Stones concert so I would say Tom Petty, Aerosmith, Elton John and mix it up with some Social D

How about The Arcade Fire or The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, that would be trippin
I can’t wait to see the Stones in Halifax on Sept 23rd

Anybody but Three Days Grace. I’m going to see the Stones in Vancouver and if Three Days Grace opens I’ll make the Guns N’ Roses riot look like a sunday picnic.

Who cares? The Stones are about as relevant as Foreigner these days.

sloan’a great choice. a highly underated band with a great live show.

I’m with Jim. If I were to go to one of these show’s it’d be for the opener. How many times do you need to hear Brown Sugar? And as much as I like the Raconteurs, I ain’t payin $100 to see them play their 10 songs.

I like Kanye alot, even though he’s a dick. But him and the Stones…can anyone place hold that much ego? Not a very good choice… IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MY MORNING JACKET!!

thatd be a good show with Alice Cooper

DMB is a great choice but Kanye?

DMB a coheadliner? Maybe with Duran Duran. I’m hoping it’s not DMB in Louisville.

Who cares? Arena shows suck. Besides, the Rolling Stones became rubbish in 1965.

Thank god Halifax isn’t getting DMB…Sloan should be awesome and I wouldn’t mind seeing Kanye.

In Saskatchewan, we don’t care. You could roll out a reformed Village People, followed by Foghat (whatever happened to them), and finish it off with a little Asia, THEN have the Stones come out and you’d still sell out the bloody stadium. We’re just happy to have such a stage show come to the province.

dmb/stones means maybe a dave/mick wild horses again?! one can only hope

DMB opening for the Stones is a ridiculously good choice. Two of the most popular bands, past and present, will give one hell of a show

DMB plus the stones…. i need to change my pants.

the stones are still going at it? they’re not even the best 60s band still alive. that title goes to THE WHO! Jaggers/Richards is nothing compared to Townshend/Daltrey.

Sloan are probably the best indie rockers to come from Canada and they should have some Stateside success as well.

Kanye West is a good choice but seriously, the sabatours and wolfmother would have rocked it!

how about guns n f’n roses that would kick some f’n ass to great rock bands of all time

simple plan they changed my life when i was going through pain my mother beats me thanks the insane one mike wilcox

im retarted hear my life’s story you will fera me how about the beattles or pantera??????????????????????? ?

im canadian and also poor how bout rush or the grateful dead i am a 60’s child i love acid

im using the computer at work how bout rage against the f’n machine or soundgarden or johnny cash or courtney love she does have herpies i know but who cares i would do her

hello boys and gals its me jim from the doors i suggest me and the doors we rocked pretty hard were better then the gay stones

this is gonna be a dope concert if your complaining must mean you cant afford a ticket keep balling stupids haha hali rules

Sloan is great! Kanye? This is a rock show! Get him off! Dave Mathews, This is a rock show! Get him off! And Isn’t Alice Cooper a televangelist now?

I saw The Stones last night in Nice, France. I saw Alice Cooper 2 years ago at the Monte Carlo Country club ( I’m not making this up). My conclusion? The Stones should open for Alice.

Some bands just dont need opening acts. Can you imagine The Beatles with someone opening for them if they were still around and playing shows? The Stones are in the same category…legends. Boo’s and restlessness will fill these stadiums when Kanye takes the stage.

My votes for opening act, though I dont think they need one…

- Bloc Party
- Kaiser Chiefs
- Towers of London
- Franz Ferdinand
- Interpol

how about oasis, ian brown, the charlatans, the black crowes!
that would be a gig of a lifetime!!

ian brown,the charlatans,oasis,and the black crowes, the show of a lifetime with the greatest rock n roll band THE ROLLING STONES to finish

How about: Sam Roberts, Isley Brothers, Tea Party, THe Guess Who, AC/DC, Rush…oh wait…that was Sarsstock. ( And I Was there ) I do think that that was the best concert since woodstock! ( and one of the biggest ) AC/DC would be great openers but, they kinda blew the Stones away with their fast tempo rock. Umm…Sloan would be great…but, I do think that Alice Cooper will do just fine!

Currently waiting to see the Stones in:
Twickenham ( Aug.22nd )
Regina ( Oct.6th & 8th )

Hopefully, one of the Stones will finally kick the bucket pre-tour and no one will have to worry about who opens for them. Their act is old, tired & overpriced. And, what the excitement about seeing them in a 50,000 person stadium? LAME!

I approve of Kanye and Sloan, but not of Alice Cooper and Dave.

i’m going to see dave and the stones in el paso!!!!!its a dream right? pinch me quick.

Does any real Stones fan like Kanye? Oh yeah, I forgot, the real fans stopped going years ago. Alice is closer to their age, but is act is too heavy and dark, won’t play as well during the daylight. I rather pay $40 and see Alice play at the local civic center, at least I would get my money’s worth. Dave Mattzzzzzz, sorry, dozed off there. How coy, and indie band, oh how the Stones like to think they are still relevant to what is current.

theres a reason people go to rock concerts…to listen to ROCK.. oh..and to NOT listen to rap… get someone good like greenday or mcr

I just learned that Alice Cooper is opening the show at Churchill Downs and I couldn’t be more disappointed. I had a list of bands that I absolutely did not want to open and Alice Cooper is worse than any of them. This could have been a very historical show from start to finish, but they really dropped the on this one. Not all Kentucky residents are rednecks and enjoy acts like Cooper. Were Molly Hatchet and Uriah Heep already booked?

The STONES are the greatest rock & roll band ever. You can leave the whiney wannabe’s at home I’m sure your ipods are full of crap like–kane,snow patrol,maroon 5, ect, ect,. Alice Cooper is a fantastic opening act for the STONES. I can’t wait for the show it will be an event for adult’s not idiots who know nothing about real rock

Nigel, I too think that the Stones are the greatest rock band ever. I am also a music lover whose Ipod contains none of those low talent bands including Alice Cooper. I hear he puts on a neat theatrical performance, but I would rather hear great music. If you think his music is great then you are the one who needs to re-evaluate his musical taste.

may be not the best performers but some of the current top in the business… Good Job!

It must be a great feeling to be opening for the Rolling Stones. I don’t know the feeling of opening for them, but I do know the feeling associated with being asked to perform with them. Let me explain…
