The Rolling Stones To Release Live Album


The Rolling Stones released Hackney Diamonds in 2023, their first full-length of original material in well over a decade, to rave reviews and a positive reception on charts all around the world. Just a few months after that win, the band is about to give fans more of what they want: music from one of the biggest groups of all time.

Forbes reports the rock band has announced a new album, The Rolling Stones Live at the Wiltern. As its name suggests, the full-length is a recording of the Rolling Stones's concert at the famed Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. The legendary musicians recorded the set back in November 2002–more than two decades ago—but soon it will finally be available to fans everywhere.

The Rolling Stones Live at the Wiltern is coming to stores on March 8. It will arrive less than six months after Hackney Diamonds dropped on October 20, which proved that the band still had the ability to create fantastic original music–something they hadn't done in quite some time.

The Rolling Stones played to a tiny crowd–under 2,000 people–at the Wiltern Theatre concert in 2002. The show was in the middle of their massive Licks World Tour, which spanned 120 performances between 2002 and 2003. At the time, the group was promoting their 40 Licks compilation, celebrating their four decades in the music industry.

The new album–the latest in a long line of live releases from the Rolling Stones–will feature 20 tracks, including a bevy of well-known hits from the rockers. The Rolling Stones Live at the Wiltern includes such beloved tracks as "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Honky Tonk Women," and "Start Me Up" among many others.
