Though there's no official confirmation from The Rolling Stones [ tickets ]' camp, word is beginning to bubble up regarding the veteran rockers' plans for some additional North American shows.

The Boston Herald, citing an unnamed source, reported Wednesday (7/19) that the Stones will likely launch the stadium tour in September at the Boston-area's Gillette Stadium.

Meanwhile, radio station Z99 in Regina, Saskatchewan--citing local newspaper the Regina Leader-Post--is reporting that the Stones are expected play an Oct. 8 gig at Regina's Taylor Field. Tickets for that show reportedly will go on sale July 31.

An official tour announcement reportedly is planned for next week.

Concert-industry magazine Pollstar ranked the first North American leg of the Stones' "A Bigger Bang" outing as the second-highest-grossing tour of the first half of 2006. According to the magazine, the Stones took in $52.5 million, second only to Madonna's $54.3 million take.

The rumored new Stones shows would follow the group's current European tour, which wraps up Sept. 3 in Denmark.

The launch of the Stones' European trek was delayed for two months after guitarist Keith Richards suffered a head injury while vacationing in April in Fiji.

Richards, 62, was hurt in late April when he either fell out of a palm tree while attempting to obtain a coconut, or fell from a personal watercraft, according to various press reports. The guitarist suffered a mild concussion and later underwent surgery to relieve pressure inside his skull, a procedure the band's publicist termed a "complete success."
