Ronnie Wood has confirmed a North American solo show. The Rolling Stones guitarist and Faces co-founder will play his first New York concert under his own since 2013 at the Beacon Theatre on March 22, backed by his solo outfit Ammo Band. The announcement comes as Wood finishes up a South American run with the same combo and as the Stones’ future touring plans remain in flux. According to reports, both Wood and Mick Jagger were eager to hit the road in support of the band’s 2026 LP Foreign Tongues but Keith Richards was unable to commit. “I’ve never had any time off,” Wood recently told Rolling Stone. “Now that the Stones have got a little sabbatical, I’m making the most of it and keeping my chops together, using my fingers, and getting the blood running. It’s such a buzz, physically and mentally.”
Ammo Band also features bassist Willie Weeks, drummer Andy Newmark, keyboardist Andy Wallace, guitarist Johnny Lee Schell and singer Chanel Haynes, who is a backup vocalist for The Rolling Stones. On his recent run, Wood offered a mix of solo material, Faces music, soulful covers and Stones classics like “It’s Only Rock and Roll,” which Weeks recorded with the group in the mid-1970s.
The Rolling Stones turned in an underplay at the Beacon in 2006 that was released as the Shine a Light movie in 2008 and Wood told Rolling Stone that he saw Al Green at the Upper West Side venue. The last New York Stones gig took place in 2023 when they offered another underplay at the tiny club Racket.
