Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger Hopes for Concerts in 2027

Rock legend Mick Jagger is eager to return to the stage, expressing his readiness to perform with the Rolling Stones again as early as 2027. The 82-year-old singer, whose band is releasing their new album "Foreign Tongues" on Friday, recently surprised patrons at an Oxford pub by singing with students during a folk session, accompanied by Rolling Stones tour keyboardist Matt Clifford.

I am ready.

Guitarist Ronnie Wood, 79, also desires a band comeback, stating, "Let's hope so." He plans to tour with his solo band this year, with a performance in Cologne on September 3rd, while anticipating reuniting with the Stones in the new year. Wood mentioned that "nothing more will happen this year" with the full band.

Jagger laughed when asked about the likelihood of concerts in 2027, suggesting that guitarist Keith Richards' reluctance due to the rigors of touring might be a factor. Richards reportedly finds the travel particularly taxing. "It's the traveling that wears you out," Richards stated in an "Uncut" interview.

Let's hope so.

Instead of a full tour, Richards has proposed a series of concerts in various locations. "No matter where - in London, New York, Paris, or elsewhere. I'll play in Rome too," he said. "I see no reason why we couldn't put on a few shows in a new format."

It's the traveling that wears you out.

The Rolling Stones' last tour was in North America in 2024. Plans for a European tour last year were reportedly canceled due to Richards' objections. The band is now considering a more localized concert series rather than extensive travel.
