Rolling Stones confirm NZ date in November

The Rolling Stones will return to Auckland in either in November.

The Rolling Stones will be back in New Zealand by the end of the year.

The band, fronted by Mick Jagger, will perform at Auckland's Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday, November 22, a press released issued by promoters confirmed.

The Rolling Stones were due to play the same venue on April 5, but the show was cancelled after singer Jagger's fashion designer girlfriend, L'Wren Scott, died on March 17.

The band recently announced they would resume their world tour in Norway in May.

Ticket holders for the Auckland show can hold on to them until further notice, however anyone wanting a refund is asked to contact Ticketmaster.

Reunited Australian band Hunters and Collectors will be the support act for the Auckland show.

The band behind Oz rock hits like Throw Your Arms Around Me, Talking to a Stranger, Holy Grail, When The River Runs Dry, Do You See What I See, Say Goodbye has been playing a string of reunion dates in Australia in recent weeks.
