In a remarkable testament to their enduring influence, The Rolling Stones clinched the Best Rock Album award at the 2025 Grammy Awards for their latest studio release, Hackney Diamonds. This victory underscores the band’s unwavering presence in the rock music scene, even after more than six decades of performance and innovation.
Released on October 20, 2023, Hackney Diamonds is the band’s first album of original material since 2005’s A Bigger Bang. The album features collaborations with renowned artists such as Elton John, Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and former Stones bassist Bill Wyman. Critics have lauded the album, with some considering it the band’s strongest work in decades.
Following the album’s release, The Rolling Stones embarked on the Hackney Diamonds Tour in 2024, covering North America with 20 shows. The tour was a commercial success, grossing $235 million and attracting 848,000 attendees.
Looking ahead, the band has ruled out a European tour for 2025 due to logistical and scheduling challenges. However, they have expressed intentions to perform in Britain and other parts of Europe in 2026.
In the meantime, fans can anticipate the band’s upcoming performances in the UK. Reports suggest that The Rolling Stones are planning a series of major UK stadium shows this summer, marking their first performances in the country since 2022. The anticipated venues include multiple dates at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
The Rolling Stones continue to captivate audiences worldwide with their dynamic performances and innovative music. Their recent Grammy win and ongoing plans for future shows highlight their enduring appeal and commitment to their craft.
