Mick Jagger said that The Rolling Stones may return to the stage for a tour in 2026 [1].
The potential return of the rock legends comes at a critical time for the band, as they seek to promote their forthcoming album, “Foreign Tongues” [2]. A tour would mark a significant revival for the group following previous cancellations of 2026 projects [2].
Speaking with journalist Gilles Bouleau in London, Jagger said hints regarding the band's future live appearances [1]. This interview aired in early April 2026 [1]. The timing of the comments coincides with a cryptic marketing campaign currently unfolding in the United Kingdom.
For approximately one month leading up to April 10, 2026, mysterious promotional posters featuring "The Cockroaches" have appeared throughout London [3]. These posters are widely believed to be teasers for the band's return [3].
The campaign aims to generate public excitement and anticipation for both the new music and the anticipated tour dates [2]. While a full itinerary has not been released, the combination of Jagger's comments and the street art suggests a coordinated rollout for the band's 2026 activities [2, 3].
Jagger's remarks to Bouleau serve as the first direct indication from the frontman that the band is preparing for a comeback [1]. The Rolling Stones have long maintained a reputation for high-scale global tours, and a 2026 return would likely involve major stadiums worldwide [2].
“Mick Jagger suggested that The Rolling Stones may return to the stage for a tour in 2026.”
The alignment of a high-profile interview and a guerrilla marketing campaign suggests the band is utilizing a multi-channel strategy to maximize impact for their new album, “Foreign Tongues.” By hinting at a tour rather than announcing a full schedule, the band builds speculative momentum that drives streaming and sales ahead of official date reveals.
