The Rolling Stones have canceled their 2025 European tour. Here’s what we know about the reasons behind this decision.
According to various reports, including those from The Times and Bild, the iconic band has decided not to return to touring later this year, as reported by UNN.
Details
The Rolling Stones have canceled their European tour originally scheduled for the summer of 2025. Bild reports that the rock veterans and their promoters were unable to agree on suitable dates.
The publication claims that the other band members, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood, were offered several concert dates in 2025, but these were soon rejected due to difficulties with finding appropriate venues, travel logistics, and prior commitments.

Hope for the tour arose after the rock veterans released "Hackney Diamonds" in 2023 - their 24th studio album and the first collection of new material since "A Bigger Bang" in 2005. The album featured performances by Lady Gaga, Elton John, Paul McCartney, and Stevie Wonder, as well as the last recordings of the late drummer Charlie Watts.
However, preliminary reports suggest that the tour has not been completely canceled but merely postponed. According to the British newspaper "The Sun," Mick Jagger (81), Keith Richards (81), and Ronnie Wood (77) are hopeful that they will be able to perform concerts in 2026.
