The Rolling Stones new studio album rumoured out in 2026

Announcement of the Rolling Stones' 2026 studio album?

The imprint adresse of this page is 4 Pancras Square, London. N1C 4AG, UK, which is the location of Universal ;-)

There's a story in N.M.E. already speculating on whether it is the Stones.

Nice job by NME with the comment about the "old, famous photo of Ronnie Wood."

Apparently not that famous...

Man, no kidding. Do they have any editors over the age of 12?


Duck

it's 100% stones related.

The marketing has started.

Will we get a (small) show is the big question.

Anything dated April 1st is suspect. At least it didn’t have a paper fish scotch-taped to the back.

we love cheesy marketing

They would never do a april 1 joke with such niche, inside info.

This is textbook stones marketing. Same playbook as Hackney Diamonds. But better and more exciting if you ask me.

Didnt GNR announce their reunion on April 1 too?

Just to mess with people.

This is going to be fun!

I see a Bowie Ziggy Stardust album cover and the edge of two other albums I do not recognize.
Can not read the tickets on the board or the guitar picks on the table.
I sent a "?" to the WhatsApp link...

I wonder if the white lines around the objects mean they will become clickable in the next 10 days, would make sense.

A cockroach is climbing the poster now. That was not happening for me 30 minutes ago...

Yep, noticed that too, wasn't sure if it happened after I clicked on the poster or not.

I think if this was Stones related, they would have one of their albums covers shown.

Bottom right: Cookies and Policy pop up separately and are unambiguously UMG. Not a mystery or surprise. But for those tallying the clues.
