New Era: The Rolling Stones Announce 2026 Farewell Tour – ‘One Last Ride’ Marks the End of a Rock Legend’s Era, Dates and Cities Revealed…..
In a groundbreaking announcement that has sent shockwaves through the music world, The Rolling Stones have officially confirmed their final tour, titled “One Last Ride.” Slated to begin in the spring of 2026, the farewell tour will span across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, bringing an end to an era that has lasted over six decades. For millions of fans around the globe, this tour represents not just the final opportunity to see the legendary band perform live, but also a poignant farewell to a cultural force that has shaped the landscape of rock ‘n’ roll.
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood—now rock royalty well into their 70s and 80s—announced the tour in a live-streamed press conference from London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall. “We never thought it would last this long,” Jagger said, his signature charisma still shining. “But we’ve had one hell of a ride. Now it’s time for one last spin around the world.”
Titled “One Last Ride,” the tour is set to kick off in Los Angeles on April 15, 2026, and will wrap up with a historic finale in London’s Hyde Park on September 5, 2026. In total, the band will perform in over 40 cities, with stops in New York, Chicago, Nashville, Toronto, Berlin, Paris, Tokyo, Sydney, and more. According to the band’s official website, presale tickets will become available starting in October 2025, with general ticket sales launching shortly after.
This farewell tour follows the release of their 2023 critically acclaimed album Hackney Diamonds, which reaffirmed their relevance in modern music and introduced a new generation to the Stones’ timeless sound. While the band has continued to tour well into their later years—defying both age and expectation—sources close to the group say this will truly be their last.
Keith Richards, known for his indestructible spirit and unmatched guitar riffs, addressed the emotional weight of the farewell. “This ain’t just a tour—it’s a celebration. We’ve been to every corner of the globe, and the fans have given us more than we could’ve ever imagined. We want to give ‘em one final show to remember.”
The tour promises a career-spanning setlist, featuring the band’s greatest hits like “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Paint It Black,” “Sympathy for the Devil,” and “Start Me Up,” along with some deeper cuts and newer tracks from Hackney Diamonds. In keeping with tradition, each performance will be a high-octane, multi-sensory experience, complete with elaborate stage design, pyrotechnics, and the unrelenting energy that has defined their shows for generations.
Fans and fellow musicians alike have taken to social media to express their admiration, nostalgia, and bittersweet excitement. From Paul McCartney to Billie Eilish, tributes have poured in celebrating the Stones’ monumental impact on music and culture.
As the world prepares to bid farewell to one of rock’s most enduring acts, One Last Ride is shaping up to be more than just a tour—it’s a historic event. It will serve as a final chapter for a band whose music has transcended borders, decades, and genres.
The Rolling Stones have lived many lives over the past 60+ years. Now, they’re giving fans a chance to celebrate every moment with them—one last time.
