Ronnie Wood<\/a> hinted at a new album in September last year, telling press that fans would be \u201cgetting a new album\u201d in 2026. <\/p>\n This seemingly elusive poster, which reads simply \u201cThe Cockroaches\u201d, bears a close resemblance to the name the Stones were billed under for a secret gig in 1977, \u201cKeith and the Cockroaches\u201d. <\/p>\n In a post published to Instagram this morning, Simon Harper, founder of the Lip Service podcast, linked the QR code on the poster to a website<\/a> owned by Universal Music, the Stones\u2019 record label. <\/p>\n Interestingly, a website copyrighted to the same label was used to tease the group\u2019s \u201cHackney Diamonds\u201d<\/a> album back in 2023.<\/p>\n Upon scanning the QR code, users are taken to a relatively nondescript bedroom, with beige walls and patterned sheets covering the bed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n On the left is a pinboard bearing two gig tickets \u2013 one blue and one pink \u2013 alongside a bedside table strewn with plectrums. <\/p>\n Straight ahead is the same poster being sighted all over London and, below it, an analogue clock that has been stopped at 1.41pm on Saturday 11 April. <\/p>\n Mr Harper also noted that, when shared with a friend, the link is accompanied by an image of the phrase: \u201cWho the F*** Are the Cockroaches?\u201d<\/p>\n Prompting comparisons with the \u201cWho the F*** is Mick Jagger?\u201d t-shirt sported by Keith Richard in Ken Regan\u2019s 1975 portrait of the star, the question is written in an identical typeface. <\/p>\n The Independent has contacted the Rolling Stones for comment. <\/p>\n It has been over two years since the release of \u201cHackney Diamonds\u201d, which several critics have described as the band\u2019s best work in decades. <\/p>\n The chart-topping album was produced by Andrew Watt, who has worked with Elton John<\/a>, Pearl Jam<\/a>, and Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>, among others. <\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Toad's_Place_50_Years_98808.jpg\")
