Mick Jagger Eyes 2027 Rolling Stones Shows as 14-Track 'Foreign Tongues' Nears July 10 Release

Summary

  • Jagger said the Rolling Stones are unlikely to play in 2026 but are discussing shows next year, adding he is "ready to go" back on the road.
  • The touring hint comes weeks before the band's 25th studio album, the 14-track 'Foreign Tongues', arrives on July 10 as the follow-up to 2024's 'Hackney Diamonds'.
  • That would mark a return after the Stones scrapped a planned 2026 UK and European stadium tour because Keith Richards could not commit.
  • Their last outing — 20 U.S. dates in 2024 — sold nearly 1 million tickets and generated an estimated $235 million, underscoring the demand for any 2027 comeback.
