About The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones formed in London in 1962 and became one of rock’s longest-running bands. Their tongue-and-lips logo, introduced in 1971, is one of the most famous band logos. Concert posters capture a moment in music history, down to the venue and the date. This poster advertised a 1965 show. The late 1960s saw a boom in psychedelic poster art, with swirling hand-drawn lettering and clashing colours. Concert posters are often the only surviving record of a particular line-up on a particular night.
