Overview
- The Rolling Stones' 25th studio album, which is due on Friday, July 10, 2026, contains 14 tracks that mix classic Stones rock with modern production choices.
- Producer Andrew Watt led the sessions and the record features guest contributions from artists including Paul McCartney, Bruno Mars, Robert Smith, Steve Winwood and Chad Smith.
- Steve Jordan handled drums on the album as the group’s primary studio drummer following Charlie Watts's death, providing a punchier rhythmic feel noted by reviewers.
- The band ran a wide promotional push of teasers, city‑specific early listening events and limited colored vinyl pressings sold at indie shops such as Optimal Records in Munich, fueling collector demand and resale activity.
- Mick Jagger said he is 'ready' to perform and hopes for concerts in 2027, though the Stones' future live plans depend on Keith Richards's willingness to tour and the preference for a smaller series of shows rather than a full tour.
