After a series of cryptic billboards appeared in major cities across the globe, it appears The Rolling Stones have finally revealed the title of their highly anticipated upcoming studio album. The legendary rock group shared images of the mysterious campaign—spotted in locations including the UK, France, Poland, and Australia—to their official Instagram account on Sunday, April 26.
The billboards feature the band's iconic tongue logo alongside a phrase repeated in multiple languages, strongly suggesting the new record will be titled Foreign Tongues. This development follows the recent release of the vinyl-only single 'Rough & Twisted', which was issued under the band's past pseudonym, The Cockroaches.
Fans have been quick to connect the dots between the new single and the billboard campaign. The lyrics to 'Rough & Twisted' include the line: "Why don't you teach me/ Teach me all those foreign tongues?"

The upcoming album, which is slated for a July release, marks the band's first full-length effort since their 2023 Grammy-winning project, Hackney Diamonds. The group has once again collaborated with producer Andrew Watt, who has been instrumental in their recent creative resurgence.
Reports suggest that this project will not be the final word from the rock icons. According to The Times, the band has already penned at least 10 additional songs, signaling a prolific period for Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood. While new music is on the horizon, a full-scale tour remains unlikely for the immediate future, as the band previously confirmed they had scrapped plans for a 2026 stadium tour.
