Mick Jagger Says He 'Can't Wait' to Tour With the Rolling Stones Again

Mick Jagger says the Rolling Stones are eager to tour again, but not immediately. In an interview with BBC Radio 2 alongside Ronnie Wood, Jagger confirmed plans to hit the road in the future, noting that it likely won’t happen this year but could be as soon as possible. The band previously scrapped a UK and European stadium tour planned for 2026, after reporting offers for summer shows that were declined due to logistical challenges and prior commitments. The Stones last toured in 2024 in support of Hackney Diamonds, staging a 20-date North American run with rehearsals of more than 60 songs.

Meanwhile, the Stones plan Foreign Tongues for July 10, recorded at Metropolis Studios in West London with producer Andrew Watt, who helmed Hackney Diamonds. The lineup includes Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and the return of bassist Darryl Jones, keyboardist Matt Clifford, and drummer Steve Jordan, with guests Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, Robert Smith, and Chad Smith. Jagger noted that the Smith collaboration happened by chance at an industry event, underscoring how spontaneous moments can shape projects. The album follows the 2024 North American tour that supported Hackney Diamonds.
