"Looking forward to seeing you there!" 75-year-old Jagger wrote on Twitter, the day after posting a video of himself energetically rehearsing some dance moves.

The transcatheter aortic valve replacement allowed the artist to avoid major surgery that would open his chest, it said.
Jagger has eight children, five grandchildren and a great-granddaughter, but has maintained his lively stage performances, playing Britain's Glastonbury Festival in 2013.
The Stones' "No Filter" tour, first scheduled for April to June, will see the rockers play 17 concerts in 15 arenas across North America, culminating in Miami on August 31.
The band, which formed in 1962, said all tickets sold for the original shows would be honored and those who could no longer make it would be refunded.
"We apologize again for any inconvenience the re-scheduling of these dates may have caused you and hope to see you at a show very soon!" the Stones said in an online statement.
