Overview
- Keith Richards told Uncut that he is unsure a full Rolling Stones tour is still possible and that the physical toll of travel is the main barrier to large-scale touring.
- Richards proposed the band could stage a residency in one city—he named London, New York, Paris and Rome as examples—as an alternative to nonstop stadium travel.
- Mick Jagger has said the group is unlikely to play shows in 2026 but is hopeful they will perform live in 2027, leaving immediate live plans unsettled.
- The Stones are promoting their new album Foreign Tongues, due July 10, and recently released the single 'Jealous Lover' as they weigh live options.
- Band members are in their late 70s and early 80s and have adjusted how they play because of wear, arthritis and travel strain, which could push promoters toward shorter runs in one city rather than long tours.
