Yesterday saw the rock icons announce the huge support acts for their stint of stadium shows this summer. Jagger and co will be joined by Liam Gallagher, Florence + The Machine, Richard Ashcroft and more as they head out on an eight-date run.

The Stones’ latest tour comes after a lack of available venues meant that the UK was left off their European tour in 2017 – leading to huge demand for this year’s gigs.

Now, ahead of the band hitting the road, Jagger has said that he’s got new material in mind.

“I am writing at the moment,” he told Independent IE in a recent interview.

Questioned on whether his ideas would be part of a solo release or Stones record, Jagger replied: “I’m just writing.” It is mostly for the Stones at the moment.” MORE
