On this day, 16 July 1990, legendary rockers the Rolling Stones played Cardiff’s National Stadium, Cardiff Arms Park, on their Urban Jungle tour. The concert was original to be played on the 11 July but Keith Richards had injured a finger and therefore the concert was postponed until 16th July.

These would be the last live concerts for the band with original member Bill Wyman on bass guitar. This tour would also be the longest the band had ever done up to that point, playing over twice as many shows as their standard tour length from the 1960s and 1970s.
