Famous band suspected of creating mysterious posters for The Cockroaches
Fans are buzzing with excitement over a cryptic poster that has been popping up all over London, speculating that it could be hinting at a new album from the iconic rock band, the Rolling Stones.
The intriguing poster simply displays the words “The Cockroaches,” a name that closely resembles the moniker the Rolling Stones used for a secret gig back in 1977, “Keith and the Cockroaches”. The connection between the poster and the band was further solidified when Simon Harper, the founder of the Lip Service podcast, discovered that the QR code on the poster led to a website owned by Universal Music, the label that represents the Rolling Stones.
This mysterious poster unveiling has set off a wave of excitement among fans who have been eagerly anticipating new music from the Rolling Stones. The band’s guitarist, Ronnie Wood, had hinted at the possibility of a new album in 2026 during a press interview last year. The QR code on the poster takes viewers to a website that features an ordinary-looking bedroom with gig tickets, plectrums, a stopped clock, and, notably, the phrase, “Who the F*** Are the Cockroaches?” This phrase bears a striking resemblance to the famous “Who the F*** is Mick Jagger?” t-shirt worn by Keith Richard in a portrait from 1975.
The potential release of a new album from the Rolling Stones has sparked widespread intrigue and speculation. It has been two years since the band’s last album, “Hackney Diamonds”, was released to critical acclaim. Produced by Andrew Watt, known for his work with Elton John and Pearl Jam, among others, the album was hailed as one of the band’s best works in recent decades.
Last summer, reports circulated that the Rolling Stones had been working on new music at Metropolis Studios in West London, further fueling anticipation for a new album from the legendary rock band. If these rumors prove to be true, the upcoming release would mark the Stones’ 25th studio album, cementing their status as one of the most enduring and influential bands in rock history. Fans eagerly await further developments and announcements from the band regarding their highly anticipated new music.
