New Era: The Rolling Stones Announce 2026 Farewell Tour — ‘One Last Ride’ Marks the End of a Rock Legend’s Era
After more than six decades of redefining rock and roll, The Rolling Stones have officially announced their final tour: *One Last Ride*. Set to kick off in spring 2026, the farewell tour will take the legendary band across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America — a global goodbye to fans who have followed them since their explosive rise in the 1960s.
The announcement came via a video posted to the band’s official social media platforms, featuring archival concert footage and a message from Mick Jagger himself: “It’s been an incredible journey — but it’s time for one last ride. We want to celebrate this legacy *with you*.” Keith Richards added in a statement, “This isn’t goodbye to the music, but it is to the road. We’ve lived out of suitcases long enough.”
*One Last Ride* will be the Stones’ most expansive tour in decades, with over 40 shows planned in stadiums and iconic venues worldwide. The band promises a setlist that spans their entire career — from early hits like “Satisfaction” and “Paint It Black” to later anthems like “Start Me Up” and “You Got Me Rocking.” Fans can also expect emotional tributes to late drummer Charlie Watts, whose memory continues to loom large over the band’s current lineup.
The tour’s production is expected to be their most ambitious yet, with state-of-the-art visuals, special guest appearances, and even a few surprises hinted at by Jagger in a recent interview. “We’re pulling out all the stops. It’s a celebration, not a eulogy.”
For longtime fans and younger generations alike, *One Last Ride* represents the closing chapter of an era that shaped modern music. With their rebellious spirit, genre-defining sound, and unstoppable energy, The Rolling Stones have left an indelible mark on culture.
Tickets for the farewell tour will go on sale later this year, with pre-sale access for fan club members. VIP packages and commemorative merchandise will also be available, marking this historic moment in rock history.
As the Stones prepare to bow out with one final roar, the world readies itself to witness the end of a legend — and to say thank you to the band that never stopped rolling.
