The Rolling Stones have confirmed that Kaiser Chiefs and Kasabian will be joining them as special guests on their upcoming ‘A Bigger Bang’ European tour.

As previously reported, Guns N’ Roses have also signed up for two dates on the tour, which includes 36 shows in 20 countries.

Kasabian will open for the Rolling Stones at the Zurich Airfield Dubendorf (August 5) and the Nice Palais Nikaia (8), while Kaiser Chiefs will be special guests at the Zagreb Maximir Stadium on July 5.

Guns N' Roses play at the Nurnberg Easy Credit Station on July 10 and Leipzig’s Zentralstadion on July 12.

The Charlatans have also been confirmed to play London’s second Twickenham Stadium (August 22) show as well as Glasgow’s Hampden Park (25).

As previously reported, Rolling Stones legend Keith Richards has suffered a brain haemorrhage after he fell from a palm tree at the weekend.

The star injured himself in a bizarre accident in Fiji last week (April 27). Initial reports indicated he had suffered "mild concussion" following the incident at an exclusive resort.
