The Rolling Stones will play just four dates in this, their 50th anniversary year.
And two of those dates will take place at The Prudential Center in Newark — Dec. 13 and 15.
The Stones will also play Nov. 25 and 29 at London’s O2 Arena.
Tickets go on sale Oct. 26 for the Newark shows, and the Dec. 15 show will reportedly appear on pay-per-view.
There had been reports that the band would play the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in December, but the Nets are playing one of those dates, Dec. 7.
“Everybody loves a celebration, and London and New York are two good places to do it in!” Mick Jagger said in a statement.
”Sorry to keep you all hanging around but the waiting is over,” Keith Richards added. “I’ve always said the best place for rock and roll is on the stage and the same is true for the Stones.”
The Stones have sold more than 200 million records, with hits including “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Street Fighting Man” and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”
But in recent years much of their income has come from touring. Their last global tour, “A Bigger Bang,” earned more than $500 million between 2005 and 2007.
