NASHVILLE, Tenn. - It most likely will be one of the biggest concert events in Nashville this year. The Rolling Stones were set to play LP Field Wednesday night, a stop on the group's Zip Code Tour.
Tens of thousands of fans have been expected at the stadium for the show. It was the first time the Rolling Stones have played Nashville since August 2007.

John and Nikole Herasymiuk traveled to Nashville, from New Orleans, for the show.
"I love Nashville, and when you combine that with the Rolling Stones, it's a winning combination. You can't pass it up," Mr. Herasymiuk said.
The couple have been life-long fans of the rock and roll group, and they have traveled across the country to watch shows when the group is on tour. They said they have never once been disappointed by a performance.
"I think the energy they put out, and the vibe they put out, their shows are always fantastic," said Mrs. Herasymiuk.
Signs members of the Rolling Stones are in Music City have been seen across Nashville. On many downtown lamp posts, Rolling Stones banners were hung to remind visitors of the concert. There was a plane spotted at Nashville International Airport with the iconic Rolling Stones logo on the side of it. Wednesday afternoon Mick Jagger tweeted two photos of himself at the Parthenon in Centennial Park.
On Lower Broadway it was not hard to spot fans of the group. Many people wore their Rolling Stones shirts as they walked around the downtown district.
Rob D'Agostino may be one of the biggest fans inside LP Field Wednesday night.
"This is my 30th time seeing them, something like that. It's the only band worth seeing anymore. They still rock. Jagger looks great, moves real well," D'Agostino said.
He has already seen the Zip Code tour in Columbus. After Nashville he said he plans to see the Rolling Stones again in Pittsburgh and Indianapolis.
"You got to see them. It's like seeing Sinatra at one time. You got to see them, you have to see them at least once. Or 30 times," D'Agostino joked.
The Rolling Stones first play Nashville 50 years ago, in 1965, at Municipal Auditorium.
