Gimme Shelter
Might they pull a Harry Styles and block-book Madison Square Garden? Could they hit three or four big stadiums? What about a single blowout gig to wrap it all up?
The Rolling Stones have been very busy over the past year recording their new LP Foreign Tongues, and promoting it with a large slate of interviews and promotional appearances across Europe and North America. One thing they haven’t done since July 2024, however, is play even a single concert. European stadium dates were on hold in the summers of 2025 and 2026 — the dates even leaked out to the fan community— but they were both canceled at the last minute as rumors spread that Keith Richards wasn’t up for touring.
This has been confirmed by both Mick Jagger and Richards throughout the Foreign Tongues press cycle, but that doesn’t mean they’ve totally closed the book on future Stones concerts. “I don’t know if tours are possible,” Richards told Uncut in June. “It’s the traveling that takes it out of you. But I do see the possibility of us doing a residency somewhere. Wherever it is, London, New York, Paris, anywhere. I’ll play Rome! But I don’t see why they shouldn’t be able to throw some shows together in a new format.”
