Frontman Mick Jagger, 74, said: “This part of the No Filter tour is really special for the Stones.
“We are looking forward to getting back onstage in the summer and playing to fans in the UK and Ireland.
“It’s always exhilarating going to cities we haven’t played for quite a while and also some new venues for us like Old Trafford and The London Stadium.”
Guitarist Richards, 74, added: “It’s such a joy to play with this band. There’s no stopping us, we’re only just getting started really.”
The Rolling Stones last played in the UK in the summer of 2013 when they headlined the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, followed by two sold-out shows in London’s Hyde Park.

Guitarist and bassist Ronnie Wood, 70, said: “When I look out at the sea of people when we play all I can see is smiles.
“It’s heart-warming and I’m glad we make people happy. Music makes me happy, and it makes them happy… it’s infectious.”
Drummer Charlie Watts, 76, added: “The Stones’ audience is the glue that keeps us together.
“The best and most satisfying moment is when you are reaching the end of the show and they are all going nuts.”
Tickets for the UK shows go on general sale at 9am on March 2. Dublin tickets go on sale on March 23.
