Stones traffic chaos

The Rolling Stones brought traffic in a Belgian city to a standstill last night, as they kicked-off the latest leg of their enormous world tour.

The rock legends played a show in Werchter in front of a sold-out crowd of 33,000, as their "Bigger Bang" global jaunt landed in Europe.

Apparently interest in the concert beforehand was so big that a tailback stretching 30 miles built-up on roads approaching the concert, affecting many fans trying to get to the gig.
