MICK JAGGER and The Rolling Stones Officially Announce Monumental 2026 Tour ‘One Last Ride’ — A Soul-Stirring Revival Breathing New Life Into the Timeless Spirit of Rock’s Most Enduring Legends
In an announcement that has sent shockwaves through the music world, Mick Jagger and the remaining members of The Rolling Stones have officially confirmed their 2026 farewell tour, aptly titled “One Last Ride.” The legendary rock band, whose influence has shaped generations of music lovers since the early 1960s, is preparing to hit the road for what they describe as a celebration of legacy, survival, and rock and roll immortality. With cities and tour dates now unveiled, excitement is building to what promises to be a deeply emotional, high-octane send-off for one of the greatest bands in history.
The “One Last Ride” tour is being positioned not simply as a final set of concerts, but as a soul-stirring revival — a powerful homage to the enduring energy and rebellious spirit that have defined The Rolling Stones for over six decades. In a joint statement, Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood said: “This isn’t goodbye to the music — it’s a thank you to the fans, the road, and the life that made it all possible. It’s one last chance to ride together with the people who have been with us since the beginning.”
Spanning across 30 major cities in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia, the tour is slated to begin in April 2026 in Los Angeles, and will include iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York, Hyde Park in London, Accor Arena in Paris, Estadio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo Dome. The final show, which is already being billed as a historic night for rock and roll, will take place in London on August 29, 2026, marking a full-circle moment in the band’s storied journey.
Despite the inevitable signs of aging, the Stones show no sign of slowing down. Jagger, now 83, remains a commanding presence, still dancing across the stage with charisma and swagger, while Richards and Wood continue to blaze through their iconic riffs with the same fire that ignited the band’s rise in the 1960s. In tribute to the late Charlie Watts, who passed away in 2021, each show will feature special visuals and moments of reflection honoring his legacy, with Steve Jordan continuing to carry the rhythm on drums.
In addition to the classics — from “Start Me Up” and “Paint It Black” to “Sympathy for the Devil” and “Gimme Shelter” — the band has hinted at performing new material written during the sessions for their 2023 album Hackney Diamonds, infusing the tour with both nostalgia and fresh creative energy.
Tickets for the “One Last Ride” tour go on sale later this month, and fans are urged to act quickly — given the emotional weight of this farewell and the Stones’ legendary status, demand is expected to be unprecedented. VIP packages, exclusive merchandise, and limited-edition tour vinyl will also be made available as part of the band’s final bow.
As the curtain slowly begins to fall on an era, the Rolling Stones are proving — as always — that time may pass, but true rock and roll never fades. The “One Last Ride” tour isn’t just a concert series; it’s a closing chapter written in thunderous chords, fiery solos, and the indelible spirit of rebellion that made the Stones eternal.
