NEW YORK, May 19, 2026 — The Rolling Stones are preparing to release Foreign Tongues, their 25th studio album, on July 10, continuing a late-career creative run that followed 2023’s Grammy-winning Hackney Diamonds. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood marked the announcement at a red-carpet event in Brooklyn, where the band discussed the record before an invited audience.
The album will include 14 tracks, according to Reuters, and arrives as the Stones mark the 64th anniversary of the band’s founding. The new record follows Hackney Diamonds, which was the group’s first album of original material in 18 years and won the Grammy Award for best rock album.
The band has already released the lead single, “In the Stars,” while “Rough and Twisted” first appeared as a limited vinyl-only release under “The Cockroaches,” an old Rolling Stones pseudonym used to build intrigue before the official album reveal.
Foreign Tongues will feature contributions from Paul McCartney, Steve Winwood, Robert Smith of The Cure and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Reuters and AP also report that Charlie Watts, the band’s longtime drummer who died in 2021, appears through material from one of his final recording sessions.
Producer Andrew Watt, who worked on Hackney Diamonds, returned for the new project. AP reported that the album was recorded over the course of a month in London, with the band also working alongside close collaborators including Matt Clifford, drummer Steve Jordan and bassist Darryl Jones.
A tour has not been announced. Jagger told AP, “I would love to tour the album,” adding that he hoped to do so when possible.
