A series of images showing billboards around the world \u2013 in locations including Australia, France, Poland and the UK \u2013 were shared to the rock veterans official Instagram account on Sunday (April 26).<\/p>\n

The billboards feature the iconic Stones logo and the same phrase repeated in various languages, suggesting that the new record will be titled \u2018Foreign Tongues\u2019.<\/p>\n

It comes shortly after they shared \u2018Rough & Twisted\u2019, a new vinyl-only single under The Cockroaches alias<\/a> last week. In a similar fashion to the recent run of billboards, the band prompted rumours of their return after cryptic posters emerged across London<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fans have already drawn a link between the two, given the lyrics for the latest single feature the line: \u201cWhy don\u2019t you teach me\/ Teach me all those foreign tongues?\u201d<\/p>\n

When they dropped hints under the name \u2018The Cockroaches\u2019 \u2013 a past pseudonym used by Mick Jagger<\/a> and co. \u2013 the band also shared a QR code that directed fans to a new website, copyrighted to the Stones\u2019 label, Universal Music.<\/p>\n

A teaser video was later shared on an Instagram channel under the name \u2018thecockroaches2026\u2019<\/a>, and was captioned: \u201c64 & Counting\u201d, a nod to the number of years since the group was founded.<\/p>\n

\u2018Rough & Twisted\u2019 single serves as the first taste of the new album, which is slated for release in July. It\u2019ll be the band\u2019s first full-length effort since 2023\u2019s Grammy<\/a>-winning\u00a0\u2018Hackney Diamonds\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Stones have once again joined forces with Andrew Watt<\/a> on the record, and The Times<\/a>\u00a0has reported that the new project will not be the last from the rock icons, as they already have at least 10 songs written for another release after this upcoming record.<\/p>\n

Watt revealed last year that he had been\u00a0working with the Stones again to help them make another album<\/a>. Later, guitarist\u00a0Ronnie Wood confirmed reports that new music was in the works, saying the LP was finished and due to arrive in 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite their return with new material, The Rolling Stones are unlikely to announce a full tour anytime soon. In late 2025, they\u00a0confirmed that they scrapped plans for a UK and European stadium tour in 2026<\/a>\u00a0because\u00a0Keith Richards<\/a>\u00a0was unable to \u201ccommit\u201d to it.<\/p>\n

The group embarked on their\u00a0North American \u2018Hackney Diamonds\u2019 tour in 2024<\/a>, with the trek landing at\u00a0Number Six on the list of the highest-grossing music world tours of that year<\/a>. The Rolling Stones\u00a0last played the UK in 2022, when\u00a0two huge London BST Hyde Park gigs<\/a>\u00a0followed\u00a0a stadium concert in Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n
