Rolling Stones ask for fan requests

The Rolling Stones have asked their Australian fans what songs they want to hear on the band's upcoming tour Down Under.

The band put the call out on their official Twitter page, 40 days before their tour of Australia and New Zealand kicks off.

"It's 40 Days until the Stones hit the road again, when Australia/ New Zealand tour starts! What rarities do you hope they'll play?" the tweet from @RollingStones said.

The band, wo last toured Australia in 2006, were due to kick off the 2014 tour last March in Perth.

However, the band rescheduled the run of gigs after the tragic death of frontman Mick Jagger's partner, L'Wren Scott.

The Stones will now kick off in Adelaide on October 25 and what they play may lie in the hands of their Aussie concert goers.
