(AP) - The Rolling Stones are headed to Australia, and they're taking Mick Taylor along.
The enduring rock `n' roll favorites announced Tuesday they'll be playing a gig March 22 at the Adelaide Oval. They haven't played in Australia since 2006. A news release says ex-member Taylor will be a special guest for the concert.
The date is the latest on the 50 and Counting tour, a celebration of the five decades Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts have been together. Ronnie Wood joined in the `70s. The tour began last November.
The Stones will be the first entertainment event at the Oval, a sports field that's undergone a refurbishment. It's been nearly two decades since the band visited Adelaide, leading Richards to say, "It's been awhile, right?" in a promo video.
