Sir Mick Jagger has hinted the Rolling Stones could tour in 2027.
The 82-year-old frontman of the legendary rock 'n' roll band has made no secret that he's eager to get back onstage with his bandmates - including Keith Richards, 82, and Ronnie Wood, 79 - and he's suggested next year is a possibility.
Appearing on TODAY's Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist in the US, he said: "Well, I'd love to. I really want to. And, I'm ready to go.
"I don't think we're gonna do shows this year, but hopefully we'll do shows next year."
He also teased their upcoming album Foreign Tongues is an amalgamation of different "styles".
Sir Mick said: "You hope that every track has got something for everyone. That's why you've got, you know, 14 tracks."
He made a similar comment while on BBC Radio 2's Tracks of My Years recently.
Foreign Tongues, due on July 10, follows the Grammy-winning success of 2023's Hackney Diamonds and the band's 2024 North American tour.
The forthcoming record has already generated significant attention, with collaborations from Sir Paul McCartney, The Cure frontman Robert Smith and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.
Guitarist Richards also addressed the possibility of future touring during an interview in May.
He said: "I mean, we can talk next year. Possibly.
"At the moment we're just sort of saying we finished the record, let's do this. And so we're basically considering what to do after, you know, pretty soon. But I don't think … Not this year, anyway."
The band's future plans have become a major talking point among fans as The Rolling Stones continue to defy expectations more than 60 years after their formation.
