The Rolling Stones are back performing.

The veteran rockers will hit the road again next year after announcing an Australian gig at the 70,000 capacity Adelaide Oval next year.

The 50 and Counting world tour is set to include further concerts in Australia, Britain, France, the United States and Canada.

The Adelaide show will see the band returning to the continent after their 2006 world tour.

“Can’t wait to be back in Australia after all this time & what a buzz to be the first to play at the Adelaide Oval!” tweeted band frontman Mick Jagger.

Guitarist Ronnie Wood also tweeted his delight: “Excited to be heading to Australia in March 2014 to open the Adelaide Oval with @RollingStones.”

Joining the legends on tour is the band’s former guitarist Mick Taylor - who was part of the band from 1969 to 1974 - as the tour’s special guest.

Melbourne and Sydney dates are to be announced soon.
