Mick Jagger has said he “can’t wait” to take The Rolling Stones back on the road, though fans shouldn’t expect an imminent announcement.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2’s Tracks of My Years alongside Ronnie Wood, Jagger was asked whether the Stones would ever tour again. “I’d love to go on tour, I can’t wait,” he said, before tempering expectations. “I don’t think it’s going to be this year. But hopefully it’s going to be as soon as possible.”
The comments come after the band scrapped plans for a U.K. and European stadium tour in 2026 in late 2025, with reports that Keith Richards was unable to “commit” to the run. Richards has since hinted at a potential return to the road in 2027, and Jagger’s latest remarks add weight to that possibility.
The interview arrives ahead of the band’s 25th studio album Foreign Tongues, due July 10 via Polydor/Universal Music. The record was made in less than a month at Metropolis Studios in West London with producer Andrew Watt — who also helmed 2024’s Hackney Diamonds — and features guest appearances from Paul McCartney, The Cure‘s Robert Smith, Steve Winwood and the late Charlie Watts.
Jagger revealed the Robert Smith collaboration came about by chance at an industry event. “He was standing there with his back to me and this long gown on and when he turned around, he was covered in lipstick,” Jagger said. “And I said, ‘You’re Robert Smith of The Cure.’ He said, ‘Yeah, we’ve never met.’ And I said, ‘While you’re here, you better go and do something.’ That’s how collaborations work sometimes.”
Foreign Tongues includes previously released tracks “Rough and Twisted” and “In the Stars,” as well as a cover of the late Amy Winehouse‘s “You Know I’m No Good.” The full tracklist was revealed earlier this month with song titles appearing on streaming devices listed in various foreign languages.
Hackney Diamonds debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in 2024 — the band’s highest chart position in the U.S. since Voodoo Lounge reached No. 2 in 1994.
FISHER is adding a Pixar credit to his résumé.
The Grammy-nominated Australian DJ and producer has joined the Australian and New Zealand voice cast of Toy Story 5, where he will voice a character named Garden Gnome in the latest installment of Disney and Pixar’s blockbuster franchise. The film is set to open in Australia and New Zealand on June 18.
FISHER’s character is described as a member of a community of forgotten toys living in an abandoned backyard shed. According to Disney, Garden Gnome is “fiercely protective of teatime and his kid.”
“I am incredibly excited to be part of ‘Toy Story 5’,” FISHER said in a statement. “This is a franchise that my family and I have loved for years — I can’t wait to watch it with my kids.”
The casting marks the latest high-profile moment for the Australian dance star, who has spent the past decade evolving from a Gold Coast club favorite into one of electronic music’s biggest global exports. Known for hits including “Losing It,” “You Little Beauty” and “Take It Off,” FISHER earned a Grammy nomination for “Losing It,” which became an international dance anthem and topped Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart.
In recent years, he has become a fixture on some of the world’s biggest stages, headlining shows in Ibiza, Las Vegas and at major festivals including Coachella. His rise has coincided with a broader wave of Australian electronic artists finding success on the global circuit.
Toy Story 5 reunites many of the franchise’s longtime stars, including Tom Hanks as Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear and Joan Cusack as Jessie. New additions include Greta Lee, whose character Lilypad — a smart tablet device — introduces a technology-focused conflict into the story.
The film is directed by Andrew Stanton, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind Finding Nemo and WALL-E, and features a score from longtime franchise composer Randy Newman.
For FISHER, the role represents a rare move outside music — and into one of the most successful animated franchises in movie history.
Massive Attack will return to Australia for their first headline shows since 2010, with three arena dates confirmed for August in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
The Bristol collective — led by Robert “3D” Del Naja and Grant “Daddy G” Marshall — will play Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Aug. 6, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Aug. 9 and Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Aug. 11.
The shows are presented by Frontier Touring and mark the band’s first Australian dates in 16 years. Frontier Members presale opens Thursday, June 4 at 2 p.m. local time, with general on sale from Friday, June 5 at 3 p.m. local time via frontiertouring.com/massiveattack.
The announcement arrives alongside a newly released collaboration with Tom Waits, “Boots on the Ground,” the first new Massive Attack material in some time and a clear signal that the group remains artistically active more than three decades after forming as part of Bristol’s Wild Bunch sound system collective.
Few bands carry Massive Attack’s weight of influence. Their 1991 debut Blue Lines — frequently cited as the record that invented trip-hop — peaked at No. 13 on the UK Albums Chart and has since been named one of Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Their third album Mezzanine (1998) topped the UK Albums Chart and produced “Teardrop,” which later became globally recognisable as the theme for the American television drama House, and “Angel,” both now considered landmark recordings of the era. Mezzanine peaked at No. 60 on the Billboard 200 — their strongest U.S. chart showing — and has sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide.
Their fourth album 100th Window (2003) also topped the UK Albums Chart, giving the collective two U.K. No. 1 albums. Heligoland, their fifth and most recent studio album, followed in 2010 — the same year as their last Australian visit — and debuted at No. 2 on the U.K. Albums Chart.
Massive Attack’s live shows have long been considered some of the most visually and sonically immersive experiences in music, incorporating large-scale political messaging, bespoke audio-visual systems and collaborations with artists including Adam Curtis, United Visual Artists and Robert Del Naja’s own visual art practice.
Massive Attack — Australia 2026
Aug. 6 — Brisbane, QLD — Brisbane Entertainment Centre
Aug. 9 — Sydney, NSW — Qudos Bank Arena
Aug. 11 — Melbourne, VIC — Rod Laver Arena
“Hate That I Made You Love Me,” Ariana Grande‘s new single, tops this week’s best new music poll.
Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (May 29) on Billboard, choosing the star’s highly-anticipated return to music as their favorite release this week.
“Hate That I Made You Love Me” ascended to the top of the poll in a week that also delivered new music from Latto, aespa and more. When the poll closed on Sunday, Grande held a steady lead, bringing in more than 50% of the vote.
“Hate That I Made You Love Me” is the first taste of Grande’s eighth studio album, Petal (arriving on July 31), and her first new music release — outside of her film career — since 2024’s Eternal Sunshine, which was a No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Petal is set to be released via Grande’s BabyDoll Music imprint label, licensed to Republic Records.
“I hate that I made you love me/ Sorry if I made me your type/ Yeah, I, I hate that I made you love me/ ‘Cause I barely tried,” she sings in the chorus.
The song was released Friday, with an official music video still on the way Monday morning (June 1).
And timed just after the “Hate That I Made You Love Me” reveal is the June 8 launch of Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour in Oakland, Calif. (See her current list of tour dates here.)
Among the new releases trailing behind “Hate That I Made You Love Me” this week are Latto’s Big Mama album, with 26% of the vote, and aespa’s LEMONADE – The 2nd Album, with 14% of the vote.

A lo largo de la historia de la música popular, muchas canciones nacieron de impulsos, desafíos internos o apuestas que, si bien en su momento parecían menores, terminaron convirtiéndose en piezas fundamentales dentro de la cultura popular. En algunos casos, se trató de ejercicios creativos autoimpuestos para romper estructuras o probar nuevos caminos compositivos. Lejos […]

Hay pocas cosas más llamativas y hasta reveladoras en el rubro de la música que un artista hablando mal de su propio trabajo. Mick Jagger, el frontman más carismático del rock and roll, no es precisamente conocido por la humildad ni por morderse la lengua. Y cuando se trata de repasar el catálogo de los […]

A fines de los años 70, el punk sacudió la escena musical con una brutalidad arrolladora. Bandas como los Sex Pistols o The Clash construyeron su identidad, en parte, sobre la crítica directa a las grandes bandas de rock que los precedían y, claro está, Led Zeppelin era, para muchos de esos músicos, el blanco […]
