The Rolling Stones reveal new album name with mysterious billboards
'Foreign Tongues' is on the way...
By Nick Reilly
The Rolling Stones have seemingly revealed the title of their upcoming album in a series of cryptic billboards shared across the globe.
A new series of images highlighting billboards across the world in locations such as Australia, France, the UK and Poland were shared to the band’s Instagram account over the weekend.
They featured the legendary Stones lips logo and the same phrase printed in various languages, suggesting their anticipated new album will be called Foreign Tongues.
The apparent confirmation comes after the group shared ‘Rough & Twisted’ earlier this month on vinyl only. Eagle-eyed fans have already spotted a connection between the song the album, as the lyrics for the latest single feature the line: “Why don’t you teach me/ Teach me all those foreign tongues?“
Reports of their return began earlier this month when it was suggested that the venerable rock icons were to return under the name The Cockroaches, with a number of QR codes spotted across London.
That song still hasn’t secured a digital release, but it sees Mick Jagger sings about driving “down a rough and twisted road all the way to Puerto Rico, where the tide ebbs and flows and you do feel that something sexual may be happening along the way”.
Their last album came with 2023’s Hackney Diamonds, while The Stones last played the UK in 2022, with two huge BST Hyde Park gigs followed by a stadium show at Liverpool’s Anfield. It was later reported they planned to tour in 2025, but those plans were later scrapped.
