Rolling Stones Shelve 2026 UKEurope Stadium Tour Plans

The decision follows Keith Richards telling bandmates he could not commit to a months-long run.

Overview

  • Management and a band spokesperson confirmed to multiple outlets that the internally planned tour has been dropped after initial reporting by Variety.
  • The scrapped itinerary was expected to span several months across Britain and Europe with tentative holds in Munich’s Allianz Arena and Berlin’s Olympiastadion.
  • Sources tie the reversal to Richards’ ability to sustain a long stadium schedule, with his previously disclosed arthritis cited as a contributing factor.
  • The tour was never officially announced, but venue planning and logistics had advanced, building on earlier signals of a European return.
  • Recording work continues, with a new studio album reported to be nearly finished for a 2026 release, including sessions with producer Andrew Watt.
