The Rolling Stones Hit Lyon on the Tattoo You Tour
On June 4, 1982, The Rolling Stones brought their high-energy Tattoo You European Tour to Lyon, France. Performing at the Stade de Gerland, the band played to a massive crowd as part of a tour that marked a significant moment in their history. Following the success of Tattoo You, which included the hit Start Me Up, this tour was a celebration of both their enduring popularity and their return to Europe after six years.
The Lyon gig was pure Stones—loud, loose, and electric. Mick Jagger, in constant motion, commanded the stage with his usual swagger, while Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood traded guitar licks like a couple of rock ‘n’ roll pirates. Charlie Watts kept everything grounded with his signature laid-back precision, and Bill Wyman’s bass held down the groove.
A Tour Fueled by Hits and Hype
The 1982 European Tour was essentially a greatest hits parade driving the crowd wild. But the Tattoo You stuff added a fresh energy to the setlists. Songs like Hang Fire, Black Limousineor Neighboursstood out as crowd-pleasers, and Start Me Up quickly became a concert anthem.
This tour was also notable for its sheer scale—the band performed in stadiums across Europe, solidifying their status as the biggest rock act on the planet. The Lyon concert, with its rowdy atmosphere and classic setlist, was a perfect snapshot of the Stones in their early ’80s prime.
Still fueled by the momentum of Tattoo You, The Rolling Stones in Lyon 1982 was a night that left fans buzzing—and proved once again that rock never dies.
