The Rolling Stones Book Shows in New York, London

Keith Richards hints that the band will be performing live again soon

It looks like the battle of the Beatles vs. the Rolling Stones will never end.

Last week marked the 50th anniversary of the Fab Four's first single "Love Me Do," but the lads from Liverpool aren't the only ones celebrating a silver anniversary this year. The Stones are celebrating their 50th anniversary as a band in 2012, and while no celebratory performances have been announced, Keith Richards let some the news of a few booked concerts slip during a recent interview.

Keef told UK music outlet Q Magazine that the band has booked some dates in New York and London. Here's what he had to say:

We've got some shows in London, I believe, and in New York, but I really can't talk about any of that at the moment. They've put the gag on me on this. 

Richards didn't give details on locations or dates, but it looks like Stones fans in the Big Apple and across the Pond in London will be getting their satisfaction soon.
