REUTERS/Tim Chong Jerusalem – The Rolling Stones will begin their Tel Aviv performance on June 4 at 9:15 p.m., later than planned, to enable religiously observant fans to attend the Park Hayarkon show after the Shavuot holiday.

    An announcement released by promoter Shuki Weiss said that following many requests from observant fans, his office and the Tel Aviv Municipality agreed to to extend the 11 p.m. curfew on public performances.

    Opening act Rami Fortis will hit the stage at 8 p.m and the Stones will follow at 9:15 p.m.

    One possible explanation for the late-breaking arrangements is to generate more ticket sales to the show, which some reports have as being sluggish. Whether a surge from religiously observant Israelis deciding they can now get to the show in time will do the trick and fill the park is in the hands of fate.

    This is great! I’d the commenters with the sour attitudes want to confine themselves to so-called Jewish music (so much of it derived directly from secular pop music) – go ahead! I’m happy to enjoy all the good that hashem has brought to our world!

    These guys are so old, that they welcome a later opening. It takes them that long just to climb the stairs.

    Shame on Rumi Furtis for having less respect than non Jews, on the other hand, which religious Jew has any interest in listening to his rock..
