Let's hope concert tours will feature for some time to come. Clapton said he was scaling back a few years ago but his 2019 schedule is similar to The Stones.
Harder for him as a solo Act also.
I somehow cant see The Stones putting out records if they are not performing, also. They have always been a Live band foremost, studio second.
Except for that brief mid 67 to mid 69 period.
I cannot see the group putting on the odd gig, like Paul Simon will do.
Having a 400 support team behind you has its downside.

The 1969 tour came before LET IT BLEED, so I don't know if that counts as touring behind the album. Could the TOUR OF THE AMERICAS in '75 be counted as touring behind IT'S ONLY ROCK 'N ROLL or rather MADE IN THE SHADE? Also, they technically didn't tour behind BLUE & LONESOME.

No new Album at the start of the Tour because the Master-Tapes must have been ready for that many weeks before.
The only possibility would be the introduction of one new Track on June 21st and his digital release (Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, etc) on Fri, 12-Jul-2019, a Vinyl-Single maybe later on. Theoretically.

Was there mention in the rehearsal thread that new songs were played?

Not trying to be a downer here but I'm not expecting anything new to be played. Could I be wrong? Sure. But at this point, I would be very surprised if they played a new song that won't be released for a long time. They've done it very rarely over the years:
"Loving Cup" was played under the title "Gimme A Little Drink" at Hyde Park in July 1969 and wouldn't be released until May 1972. I think the earlier version was originally going to be released on LET IT BLEED.
"Brown Sugar" was played at Altamont in December 1969, throughout the European Tour in 1970 and at all of the shows during the UK Tour in March 1971 before the official release in April 1971.
"Worried About You" was played at the El Mocambo Club in March 1977 and wouldn't be released until August 1981.
"Oh No, Not You Again" was played at the Juilliard School of Music in May 2005 and wouldn't be released until that September.

Cherry Oh Baby was played in 1975 at the second and sixth Madison Square Garden shows. That tour the set list didn't budge except for that and one other song. Must've been maddening.

I was at the Pittsburgh show during the ZIP CODE TOUR and when they played Doom and Gloom, many people just stood there like "okay I don't care about this newer song."

Happened every time I saw it played live, but it's not that great of a song in the first place so it's no wonder the crowd showed little interest.
Imagine though if they actually unleashed a great song on the audience...might be a few indifferent people in the crowd, but more than likely a majority would go wild.
Both Doom and Gloom and One More Shot just don't have that type of magic - they sort of just exist, and it's no wonder they don't play either of them anymore.

There's always hope JordyLicks96 just as there always is, but I have a feeling we might be in for a nice surprise this time around.
It's been a LONG time...

Those are my exact expectations. I think they really want this to be a great album from start to finish. They've worked on this thing for over 3 years. It HAS to be a solid album and I expect it to be.

If they put out a fair album it would put a slight damper on the end portion of their career (they know that). As well Blue & Lonesome was very well received. A slightly surprising hit record actually .... and it sold well. Now they have something they have to live up to or surpass (they realize that as well).
In short .. there is something riding on this album and they know it.

New songs are in the works. That is for sure. How and when they are going to be presented is yet to be determined. We will know a lot more about this by June 21.
