Mick Jagger Teases Rolling Stones Tour Return

Mick Jagger has said The Rolling Stones are already looking ahead to getting back on the road and they aren’t retiring yet, even if fans shouldn’t expect a new run of dates in 2026. The singer addressed touring plans during a new radio interview, signalling the band’s appetite to play live again after wrapping its most recent North American trek.

In a chat with BBC Radio 2, Rolling Stone reported that Jagger said he “can’t wait” to tour again, while cautioning it likely won’t happen this year and would come “as soon as possible.”

Jagger’s comments arrive amid recent reporting that the group had been weighing stadium options for a potential U.K. and European tour, but that plans were shelved due to logistics and existing commitments. The Stones last toured in 2024 behind Hackney Diamonds, playing 20 North American shows and rehearsing more than 60 songs for the production.

Talk of the band’s next steps has been closely watched, particularly after Keith Richards got cryptic about The Rolling Stones’ future in earlier remarks that left open questions about timing and long-term plans.

For now, Jagger’s latest update suggests the band’s touring engine is still running, with the main variable being when schedules and logistics line up. Any official announcement would be expected to come once venues and dates are finalised.
