The Rolling Stones Rock Frankfurt on the 1976 Tour of Europe
In the spring of 1976 The Rolling Stones were deep into their Tour of Europe, hitting cities across the continent with their signature swagger. On April 28th, they rolled into Frankfurt, Germany, lighting up the historic Festhalle with one of the most electric shows of the tour. The band had just dropped Black and Blue, an album that showed off a looser, funkier side, and they were clearly having a blast on stage. Ronnie Wood, who had been a “guest” guitarist the year before, was now officially part of the band — and he brought a fresh, playful energy to the lineup.
The Frankfurt crowd got a full blast of Stones magic that night. Classics like Tumbling Dice, You Can’t Always Get What You Want and Street Fighting Man sat alongside newer tracks like Hand of FateorHey Negrita. Mick Jagger, as always, was a force of nature — dancing, shouting, and owning every inch of the stage while Keith Richards and Ronnie traded riffs like two kids in a candy store.
A Wild Night at the Festhalle
Inside the Festhalle, it was pure rock ‘n’ roll chaos. Fans packed shoulder-to-shoulder, singing every word and dancing like crazy. The Stones sounded raw, loose, and loud — exactly how a Stones show should feel. Frankfurt 1976 has gone down as one of the tour’s standout nights, and the 34 killer photos from the gig capture the wild spirit perfectly. It’s the Stones at full blast: sweaty, smiling, and unstoppable.
