Mick Jagger has said he “can’t wait” to take The Rolling Stones back on the road.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2’s Tracks of My Years alongside Ronnie Wood, Jagger was asked whether the Stones would ever tour again.
“I’d love to go on tour, I can’t wait,” he said, before tempering expectations. “I don’t think it’s going to be this year. But hopefully it’s going to be as soon as possible.”
The comments come after the band scrapped plans for a UK and European stadium tour in 2026 in late 2025, with reports that Keith Richards was unable to “commit” to the run. Richards has since hinted at a potential return to the road in 2027, and Jagger’s latest remarks add weight to that possibility.
Jagger’s comments come ahead of the band’s 25th studio album, Foreign Tongues, which is due for release on 10 July. The record was made in less than a month at Metropolis Studios in West London, and features guest appearances from Paul McCartney, The Cure’s Robert Smith, Steve Winwood and the late Charlie Watts.
Foreign Tongues’ full tracklist was revealed earlier this month. It includes the previously released tracks Rough and Twisted and In the Stars, as well as a cover of the late Amy Winehouse’s You Know I’m No Good.
