The Rolling Stones Kick Off 'Hackney Diamonds' Tour with Energetic Performance in Houston: Mick Jagger Visits Space Center and Graffiti Park Before Rocking NRG Stadium

The Rolling Stones, the legendary rock band formed in 1962, kicked off their 'Hackney Diamonds' tour on April 28, 2024, at NRG Stadium in Houston. The band's first album of original material in nearly two decades was met with critical acclaim and excitement from fans.

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood were joined by exceptional musicians and singers for the tour's opening night. The trio performed a total of 18 songs during their two-hour set, which included both classic hits and new tracks from 'Hackney Diamonds'.

Keyboardist Matt Clifford added French horn to some songs during the performance, while drummer Steve Jordan assumed rhythm duties after the passing of founding member Charlie Watts in 2021.

Before taking the stage, Mick Jagger made several stops around Houston. He visited Space Center Houston and toured Mission Control, sat in simulators, and met astronauts Josh Cassada, Bob Hines and Jessica Meir. Jagger also visited Graffiti Park at 1503 Chartres St. in East Downtown and stood outside Goode Company's Armadillo Palace on Kirby Drive.

The Rolling Stones' setlist included fan favorites such as 'Start Me Up', 'Get Off of My Cloud', 'Rocks Off', and 'Out of Time'. They also performed three new tracks from their latest album, which was released in October 2023 at a surprise concert at Racket in New York City.

The tour will continue with stops in Las Vegas, Seattle, East Rutherford, Foxboro, Orlando, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Denver, Chicago and Vancouver. The Rolling Stones are also scheduled to perform at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on May 2.

Mick Jagger's energy and charisma captivated the crowd throughout the night. His performance was a testament to the band's enduring legacy, proving that they still have what it takes to rock out in front of thousands of fans.
