The Rolling Stones' new album is imminent.

The Rolling Stones have finally revealed the full details of their 24th studio album Foreign Tongues.

The band gave a press conference in New York last night (May 5) hosted by Conan O'Brien where they revealed full details of the record that they've been teasing ever since the release of Hackney Diamonds in 2023.

Foreign Tongues is released on July 10 in a variety of physical and digital formats and is available to pre-order now.

"Preceded by the upbeat and infectious lead single ‘In The Stars’, Foreign Tongues was brought to life in under a month at Metropolis Studios in West London, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood reuniting with Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt," read the blurb.

"The result is a dynamic and forward-looking record that captures the band's unmistakable sound while pushing into new sonic and lyrical territory, further cementing their unparalleled legacy."

As with its predecessor, Foreign Tongues features a number of high profile special guests, with Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, Robert Smith of The Cure and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers lending a hand.

Of Smith's surprise appearance, Jagger said: "I turned up one day to do my vocals in London and there’s this bloke standing there with his back to me with a long gown on.

"When he turned round he was covered in lipstick. We’d never met before and I said, ‘You are Robert Smith of The Cure!’ And he said, ‘Yeah!'. That’s how collaborations work sometimes."

The band's long-time drummer Charlie Watts, who died in 2021, features on one song - the final recording he made before his death.

After Hackney Diamonds, the band promised they had plenty of leftover material for a snappy follow-up, and had been ramping up the expectation in recent days, weeks and months.

There was the pseudonymous poster campaign and even a limited edition 7" single 'Rough and Twisted' from The Cockroaches.

Then a global billboard campaign promising Foreign Tongues in well, foreign tongues.

A full track listing has emerged online, which hasn't been officially confirmed but appears to be genuine.

The album features 13 new Jagger-Richards originals and what is thought to be a cover of Chuck Berry's 'Beautiful Delilah'.
