The Rolling Stones look to continue their career into the next decade
The Rolling Stones last released a full studio album back in 2005. The album, A Bigger Bang, was a minor success for the band, peaking as a chart topper on several major album charts and earning multiple gold certifications. The band subsequently released a album of cover songs but no original material.
Now the band is looking to bring out new original music to this decade and continue their career streak. The timing of the album livestream is given below:
September 6, 2023:
- 14.30 pm BST
- 6.30 am PST
- 9.30 am EST
- 10.30 am BR
- 15.30 pm CET
- 22.30 pm JST
- 23.30 pm AEST.
The album was first reported to be in development back in 2021, with Andrew Watt and Bill Wyman among the participants in the project alongside the band.
The album was teased to the public by a now unavailable post in The Hackney Gazette on August 17, 2017 first, which was later confirmed by the band to be related to the new album they're working on.
Subsequently, the band teased a track titled 'Don't Get Angry with Me' via the website dontgetangrywithme.com. Upon accessing the website, fans are able to navigate a 505 error code to get access to a 15 second sound snippet.
