The Rolling Stones continue to dominate the rock scene with their enduring energy and music legacy. Following the success of their 2024 Hackney Diamonds tour, fans have been eager for updates on their next moves. While there won’t be a European tour this year, the band has hinted at major plans for 2026.
No European Tour in 2025
Recent reports confirm that The Rolling Stones will not be touring Europe in 2025. Initially, there was speculation about performances at venues like Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, but logistical issues and scheduling conflicts have pushed back any European dates. The band has reassured fans that they plan to return to the UK and Europe in 2026. Their last performance in Britain was in 2022, following the passing of their longtime drummer, Charlie Watts.
The Success of the Hackney Diamonds Tour
In 2024, The Rolling Stones embarked on their Hackney Diamonds tour, which became one of their most successful in recent years. The tour, which ran from April 28 to July 21, included 20 shows across North America. The band performed to nearly 850,000 fans, earning approximately $235 million. Their setlist featured a mix of classic hits and new songs from their first album of original material in 18 years.
Remembering Stanley Booth
The music industry recently mourned the passing of Stanley Booth, a renowned journalist known for his work on The Rolling Stones. Booth, who passed away at age 82, wrote The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones, a book chronicling the band’s 1969 American tour. His work remains one of the most in-depth accounts of the band’s early years.
What’s Next for The Rolling Stones?
Although there won’t be a European tour in 2025, The Rolling Stones remain active in the music scene. With their influence spanning decades, fans eagerly anticipate new projects, potential collaborations, and the much-anticipated 2026 European tour. The band continues to prove that their legacy is far from over.
