The British rock band this week released on Twitter a
10-second snatch of a bluesy track and video of them playing in
a studio, with the message "Coming Oct 6."
On Wednesday, the band's official Twitter feed said, "Tomorrow.
2 PM GMT/6 AM PST/9 AM EST."
The veteran rockers last released an album of new material in
2005 with "A Bigger Bang," but have toured the world
relentlessly. In March, they staged the first major concert by a
Western rock band in Cuba, playing free for an estimated
500,000-strong crowd.
Lead guitarist Keith Richards said a year ago that he and
bandmates Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood planned to get
back into the studio in 2016.
A new album would mark the longest interval between new studio
sets for the band, which formed in London in 1962.
The Stones are due to perform at a three-day outdoor festival in
southern California this weekend dubbed "OldChella" because the
lineup includes other stalwarts of rock and pop music including
Paul McCartney, The Who and Bob Dylan.
