Mick Jagger Eager to Hit the Road Again with The Rolling Stones

Mick Jagger's Future on the Road

In an energetic interview with BBC Radio 2, legendary frontman Mick Jagger made it clear that he is itching to return to the stage with The Rolling Stones. Jagger declared, "I'd love to go on tour. I can't wait,” indicating the band's desire to perform live again.

Managing Expectations

However, he tempered enthusiasm by noting that there won't be any tours happening in 2026. Jagger explained, "I don't think it's going to be this year. But hopefully it's going to be as soon as possible." This statement follows last-year's cancellation of planned tours in the U.K. and Europe due to logistical challenges and prior commitments.

"I'd love to go on tour,” Jagger expressed. “I can't wait.”

Logistical Challenges

The Rolling Stones last embarked on a major tour in 2024, supporting their album Hackney Diamonds. The tour featured over 20 concerts across North America, which were met with lavish praise and extensive logistical arrangements. Jagger noted that various touring offers were explored last year, but ultimately dismissed due to a complicated web of scheduling conflicts.

Upcoming Album Release

Meanwhile, the band is gearing up to unveil a new album titled Foreign Tongues, set to release on July 10. This album showcases new material alongside some collaborative efforts including guest appearances from Paul McCartney, Steve Winwood, and Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Collaborative Spirit

In the interview, Jagger shared an amusing anecdote that highlighted the spontaneity of collaboration in music: "He was standing there with his back to me and this long gown on and when he turned around, he was covered in lipstick. I said, 'You're Robert Smith of The Cure.' He said, 'Yeah, we've never met.' That's how collaborations work sometimes.”

The Legacy Continues

As the iconic band moves forward, fans can anticipate a treasure trove of musical innovation. With their reputation for epic performances and compelling artistry, The Rolling Stones remain a cornerstone of rock music history.
