Mick Jagger says the Rolling Stones hope to tour their upcoming album, “Foreign Tongues.” Multiple reports describe the band launching the new record in London with a drone lights show on Wednesday night, marking the start of the album’s rollout. “Foreign Tongues” is scheduled for release on Friday, following the group’s 2023 Grammy-winning album “Hackney Diamonds,” which the Stones supported with a North American tour in 2024.
The reports also place the new album in the context of the band’s recent history. It is presented as the band’s second studio album since the death of longtime drummer Charlie Watts in 2021. One outlet also notes the album comes as the band’s 25th studio release since the Rolling Stones formed in 1962. Across the coverage, the central focus remains the band’s expectation of taking “Foreign Tongues” on tour after its release, alongside the London launch event.
