The Rolling Stones [ tickets ], who officially launch their "A Bigger Bang!" tour later this month in Boston, will hone their stage chops with a Wednesday night (8/10) club gig in Toronto, where the band has been rehearsing.

Tickets--priced at $10 Canadian (about $8.25)--quietly went on sale at Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre this morning, and the Stones are scheduled to take the stage at the venue tonight. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., according to the Stones' official website. Canadian rockers The Trews will open.

The Rolling Stones are expected to tour the world over the next year to support their upcoming album, "A Bigger Bang," due in stores Sept. 8.

Earlier this month, the group released exclusively via Apple's iTunes Music Store three cuts from the new set: "Rough Justice," "Streets of Love" and "Back of My Hand."
