In addition, Rolling Stone released a special remix of “In The Stars” alongside their producers Andrew Watt and Cirkut for the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 album, which also includes songs and collaborations by Shakira, Daddy Yankee and Shenseea, LISA and Anitta, Ava Max and BIA, 21 Savage, Nato Cano and French Montana, Major Lazer, Nelly Furtado and Davido, and more.

“The FIFA World Cup is the biggest show on earth, uniting billions of people through football, culture and shared celebration,” said FIFA’s Chief Business Officer, Romy Gai, in a press release. “We are delighted to welcome The Rolling Stones into this unique global moment, adding the energy, emotion and unmistakable identity of one of music’s most iconic bands to the tournament experience. This collaboration celebrates the powerful connection between football and music, and the unforgettable experiences they create for fans around the world.”

Formed in London in 1962 by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Ian Stewart, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts and Mick Taylor, The Rolling Stones became one of the most influential bands in the world, thanks to their songs that blend the blues, pop and psychedelic rock genres. Since their formation over 60 years ago, they have released 32 studio albums, with their most recent being Hackney Diamonds in 2023.

Though it was never officially announced, The Rolling Stones were planning to embark on a tour around the United Kingdom and Europe this year. The band’s touring pianist, Chuck Leavell, and a spokesperson told the UK press last year that a new album was in the works, as well as a tour. But, in December 2025, a source close to the band told Variety that the tour is cancelled because Richards will be unable to due to his long battle with arthritis.

Despite that, in a Q&A that took place at a listening party and launch event that was hosted by Conan O’Brien in Brooklyn last month, Jagger told the audience that he would “love to tour the album.”

“I absolutely would love to,” the 82-year-old musician responded. “I hope to do it as soon as that’s possible.”

Fans can pre-order The Rolling Stones’ upcoming album and the three vinyl variants they made with FIFA on their official website. Foreign Tounges will be out on all streaming platforms on July 10.
