The men from The Rolling Stones make sure they are seen and heard when they arrive on tour.

Adelaide violinist, Niki Vasilakis, isn't buzzing with excitement, though, along with the cities true rock fans.

Her planned 'cocktail concert' at the Festival Centre this Thursday in the city has been canned after she heard the rock band had their very loud sound check at Adelaide Oval, just across the River Torrens on the same night.

Paint it black: Not everyone is excited that The Rolling Stones are in Adealide, especially not esteemed violinist Niki Vasilakis

Sophisticated sounds: Niki has cancelled her own concert planned for the same night as the bands noisy sound check on Thursday

Fearing her sophisticated sounds would be drowned out by drum and base, the musically gifted mother who had planned the intimate classical performance months ahead had no choice but to tell those who had booked tickets for the evening that the night was called off.

Niki, a world-class concert violinist who presented the popular SBS TV series 'Classical Destination' which aired in over 30 countries, is bitterly 'disappointed' at having to call of her night.

Her evening was set to run from six till eight pm - the exact same time The Rolling Stones sound check was planned for.

'It’s a huge dilemma for the Festival Centre ... we’ve just started the series and we are trying to get it off the ground,' she told Adelaide Now.

He's got the moves like Jagger: Mick is back in Australia after the band cancelled their Australia tour earlier in March this year

I can't get no: The iconic band called off their tour earlier in the year when Mick heard that his long-time girlfriend L'Wen Scott had passed

'To have the audience purchase tickets and to say sorry we have to move it, it’s a big inconvenience for them.'

'For a show like mine it's a labour of love, its not something you make a lot of money on. It actually runs at a loss.'

Niki also commented that she loves the Rolling Stones but is crossing her fingers that this kind of upsetting clash doesn't happen again.

The brunette violinist is still yet to release a date for her rain-checked concert.

Soaking up the sun: The couple stopped to sunbathe on the grass ahead of Ronnie's Rolling Stones concert

A shirtless Ronnie Wood, 67, walked through an Australian park on Saturday with his 36-year-old wife Sally Humphreys.

The Rolling Stones rocker was looking youthful in a black cap and brightly-coloured trainers as the pair lay out in the grass, Sally affectionately stroking her husband's bare chest.

Ronnie, looking more relaxed than his faithful counterpart, carried a blue shirt in his hand to match a pair of navy skinny jeans and fluorescent shades.

Still looking besotted with her husband of nearly two years, Sally placed an affectionate hand on him and he reciprocated as they walked through the greenery arm in arm, the singer clutching supportively to his third wife's wrist.
