The Rolling Stones Play The Fonda Tonight, Tickets On Sale At Noon [UPDATE]

Update (12:04): Tonight's show sold out within a minute, leaving this LAist writer quite heartbroken.
They might be the biggest rock band in the world, but the Rolling Stones are going quasi-intimate tonight and playing a show at the Henry Fonda Theater.
Tickets go on sale at noon at their official website, and while the venue is not listed, L.A. Weekly has confirmed it is the Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood. As Brooklyn Vegan points out, poor Shakey Graves had to move his concert due to "logistics." Uh huh.
If you recall, the last time they kicked off a tour in the States they played a "secret" "warmup" show at the Echoplex in 2013.
While every Stones show always delivers the hits, tonight's set list will include the entirety of the classic 1971 album Sticky Fingers, which includes "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses." Coincidentally, Sticky Fingers is getting those mega-super-deluxe-limited edition reissues where you can buy the same album for the third time in your life for $150.
The show kicks off their ZIP Code Tour, and the announcement was made on the sly this morning with a giant banner in Hollywood, showing Hollywood's 90028 ZIP and their classic tongue logo:

The ZIP Code Tour continues through the country, with the next stop at San Diego's Petco Park on May 24.
