The legendary rock group the Rolling Stones wrapped up their Hackney Diamonds Tour at the Thunder Ridge Nature Arena this weekend.
The Sunday night show was the final show of the super group's 2024 tour and brought thousands of fans to the amazing arena at Big Cedar.
The Rolling Stones have spent the past three months performing at stadiums in major cities across the United States and Canada, with fans flocking to every concert. Sunday night's performance was a once-in-a-lifetime event for many, while for others it was one more opportunity to see their favorite musical artists in concert. Visitors from around the state, throughout the region, and across the U.S. came out for the amazing performance, packed with many of the Stone's iconic hits, and a few songs from the latest album.
The Rolling Stones formed in 1962 and are one of the country's most beloved and enduring rock groups, with three of the group's original members—Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood—still mainstays in the Rolling Stones today. They enjoyed eight number one hit singles and an astounding 38 top-ten albums.
While having a group such as the Rolling Stones perform in the tiny town of Ridgedale, MO, may seem far-fetched, many in the entertainment industry will tell you it is who you know that matters. Johnny Morris, owner of Thunder Ridge Nature Arena and founder of Bass Pro Shops, formed a friendship with Rolling Stones’ keyboard and piano player Chuck Leavell more than 20 years ago. The two shared a fondness of conservation and fishing and enjoyed several outdoor adventures. When Thunder Ridge was in the works and Morris thought of having the Rolling Stones at his venue, he reached out to his friend. Rolling Stones representatives visited Thunder Ridge in 2022 during the sold-out Garth Brooks performances and declared Thunder Ridge Nature Arena one of the most extraordinary and beautiful event venues they had ever seen.
The Rolling Stones concert will be followed by country great Luke Bryan, performing his "Mind of a Country Boy" tour this Saturday, July 27, at Thunder Ridge Nature Arena. Slightly Stoopid and Dirty Heads perform August 31. Imagine Dragons: Loom World Tour takes the stage on September 8 and Pitbull: Party After Dark Tour is set for September 21.
