- The band has not announced a tour behind the album, and Jagger has said he hopes to perform in 2027 while the group has publicly discussed alternative residency-style shows.
- Keith Richards credited Jagger’s recent prolific songwriting for the quicker turnaround between albums, and producer Andrew Watt—who worked on 2023’s Hackney Diamonds—returned for Foreign Tongues.
