Overview
- The Rolling Stones will release their 25th studio album, Foreign Tongues, on July 10 through Polydor/Universal with guests including Paul McCartney, Robert Smith and Steve Winwood.
- Mick Jagger told BBC Radio 2 this week that he “can’t wait” to tour but does not expect any Stones shows in 2026.
- The band recorded the album at Metropolis Studios in West London in under a month with producer Andrew Watt, and Steve Jordan played drums after being recommended by the late Charlie Watts, who also appears on several tracks.
- Foreign Tongues includes the previously released singles “Rough and Twisted” and “In the Stars,” plus a cover of Amy Winehouse’s “You Know I’m No Good,” and has been promoted with a New York launch and late‑night appearances.
- With 2026 dates canceled after plans for a UK and European stadium run fell through in late 2025, the Stones are framing the new record as the focus for now and fans and promoters will watch for a possible return to the road in 2027.
