There are talks about a new Stones studio album, and a tour, both due for 2026. Several sources talk about April 2026 as a time of both the album release, and tour start.

They are expected to tour in Europe, like they planned for the summer of 2025. For more comments see the Editorial IORR pages:

Do you think they will tour Europe in 2026 since it was dropped in 2025?

Maybe

Possibly

Definitely maybe

Why not ?

For sure but the question is when & where..hope they return US one day

When they tell us if they tell us we will get a tour.

At this stage could see a "world capitals" tour, with multiple dates at each stop:

NYC
LA
CHI

London
Paris
Amsterdam
Madrid
Berlin

Tokyo (one last time)
Sydney (one last time)

Buenos Aires (one last time)

They definitely need to play New York, London, Paris and Munich.

Probably a US or North American tour. Stones releasing two high profile products, Black and Blur deluxe and the new CD. I think US market is stronger for the products. I also remembering the Stones releasing Black and Blue in 1976 and touring only the European market. As I recall, numbers for that lp could have been hurt by an European only promotional tour. When it comes to money, Stones hardly ever make the same mistake twice.

I’m sure Doxa has stated that European/UK sales are now higher than in the United States. Regardless, there’s absolutely no chance of them not performing in London.

That’d be a ‘world tour’ the Stones gave that up after 2005-‘07

to the op's question

yes a tour of europe in late spring or early summer behind the new album is what the rumors indicate

there were rumors of a show in france being in the works a few months ago

in an interview back in may marlon richards said

Richards then addressed the speculation about a forthcoming tour: “I think they’re planning a tour of Europe.”

in an article about ronnie's recent record signing event in london he's quoted as saying

Remaining coy as he signed copies of his new album Fearless, Ronnie, said: “Yes we are hoping to do some dates. Hopefully we will be back out there but I am still waiting to find out myself.”

also rumor is there gonna be selling unique varients of the new album for each show of the tour

it might be worth noting too that based on info from the scraped tour they were planing to do in europe this year they maybe doing less cities but playing multible shows in each presumably to cut back on travel

If multiple dates in multiple cities come out to more than 15 shows or so it ain't happening.

Betcha it's either another crack at Euro stadiums or a few multi night residencies.

I bet it will be the same pattern as on the priviour tours, i.e. stadiums with only one show per city except for two shows in important places. The only cities in Europe that might qualify more the one show are London or Paris (unless they do more than 15 European shows)

Do 1/2 dates Europe 1/2 in us/Can extend dates to 18.

If I was a tour planner, in consideration of the members’ age and the logistics, I’d go along a (basically) stadium tour of fewer locations, two shows each, e.g. London/Amsterdam/Berlin/Munich/Paris/Madrid or Barcelona/Rome or Milan/Manchester (Co-op Live).

I don't think travel is really a problem. The tours are no longer conducted by bus...
(Remember the last tour? – zigzagging across the US without any regard for geography, which meant a lot of long-haul flights.)

Roig Arena in Valencia
Top notch new venue

The good thing is, that every tour in the past has startet with with a thread like this here:
Speculations, wishes, dreams, recommended cities & venues, setlist-demands and correcting posts by bv.
So many times not, but many times yes threads like this ended up in a real tour.
So I take it as a good prospect.

It would be a good thing for Haynes and Jordan I guess. Otherwise I don't think so. The break has been too long considering their age -
The Glimmer Twins are turning 83 in 2026. That is a respectable age for a war baby.

I thought someone would pick up what that's from.

Sitting around is sitting around so instead of slogging in a bus a plane is obviously better but it's not like they're doing the work. With shows about four days apart it takes about three months so the recent mode of touring is probably what they'll stick to - otherwise it's unaffordable and they wouldn't be able to do less shows, 14 seems to be the limit. They can always do more shows, like they did last year.

FIFTY and 14 were world tours of 30 and 29 shows. From 2015, a total of 8 tours up to 2024, they've done one continent per year except for Mexico and Cuba in 2016.

We'll find out after whatever future tour that they're done touring.

Great news from BV! Watch out for merged thread with some older posts. Album and tour rumors for April, summer 2026. I’m setting dates aside. This is why I love IORR!

I am keeping those dates free.I would expect Mick to be attending the World Cup games so I would imagine the tour to be over by then.

I am not saying the Stones will not be doing shows during WC games, but if they can, they might try to move dates so that they can see games on TV.

I remember many years ago, I lived at the Stones hotel in Munich. The TV room was in the ground floor, near the reception, and Mick went there during games, so it must have been during a championship. I did even take the elevator with Mick then, once, he did not have security between his own room and the TV room, security have changed a lot over the years.

Another time, also long ago, I was at Wembley Stadium for a Stones show, England was playing an important game, and many had radios with them to the show. This was before mobile phone days. When Mick came out with two maracas, the crowd went mad, because they thought England had scored two goals. I don't think that was right, but still...

During one of the many Amsterdam Arena shows, I remember England had a game when they missed a penalty kick, may be it was Beckham, can't remember, saw the game on Leidsplein sreens.

In the old days, they had shows every day, impossible to avoid great football championships. Now they do not play that often, I have a hunch they look at the WC list when appproving dates.

Bjornulf

they were on tour during the football world cup 1998 in France. I remember seeing Mick Jagger in the audience of a match I watched on TV. Must have been England vs. Argentina (and I guess most people in England remember that match ('10 heros and one idot' etc. and 'don't mention the score'))

They were also on tour during the world cup in 2014. In Berlin Jagger was joking about who's gonna win "England or Germany". The crowd shouted "Germany" and Jagger went on to say something like 'oh well, on penatlies"
