For weeks, speculation has been buzzing online about Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones supposedly announcing a “monumental joint world tour” alongside rock legends like Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Nicks. The rumor, fueled largely by social media posts, sparked excitement among fans dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime mega-tour.
But here’s the truth: no such joint world tour has been officially announced.
What’s Actually Happening
The Rolling Stones are still very much active, but the current focus isn’t on an all-star collaborative tour. Instead:
- Hackney Diamonds Tour Success (2024): The band just wrapped a triumphant North American leg supporting their Hackney Diamonds album, grossing an estimated $235 million from over 848,000 tickets sold.
- A New Album in the Works: Since April 2025, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood have been back in the studio with producer Andrew Watt, working on 13 fresh tracks. Fans can expect the album to drop by late 2025 or early 2026.
- Future Tour Plans: While a European run in 2025 has officially been ruled out, insiders confirm that the Stones are aiming for a major European tour in 2026 to coincide with the new record.
Why The “Joint World Tour” Rumors Spread
The Stones’ legacy and friendships across decades of rock history make it easy for fans to imagine a collaborative tour featuring their peers. But at this point, the idea remains fan speculation, not band reality.
The Legacy Rolls On
As they approach nearly six decades of performing, The Rolling Stones remain the blueprint for rock’s longevity. Jagger’s energy, Richards’ riffs, and Wood’s versatility continue to pack stadiums worldwide, and while no “mega-tour” has been announced, the band’s future looks busy and exciting.
For now, Stones fans can rest assured: more new music is coming, and another world-class tour is already on the horizon.
