Mystery 'Cockroaches' Posters Point to Universal Site, Stirring Rolling Stones Speculation

Universal branding with a clock frozen at April 11 hints at a reveal that remains unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Posters reading “The Cockroaches” with a QR code have appeared across London, sending people to thecockroaches.com.
  • The site carries a Universal Music copyright and sends Universal-branded confirmation emails, echoing the label’s 2023 “Hackney Diamonds” teaser tactic.
  • The landing page shows a sparse bedroom with a Cockroaches poster and an analog clock stopped at 1:41 on Saturday, April 11, which fans read as a date clue.
  • The Cockroaches name matches aliases the Rolling Stones used for secret or warm‑up shows in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
  • Media and fans are speculating about new music or a one‑off show, yet the band has not confirmed any link, and prior cancellation of 2026 UK and Europe stadium plans suggests no large tour is likely.
