The Rolling Stones are heading to NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, for a three-night event that will individually highlight each current member of the 64-year-old English rock band.
Jimmy Fallon got the stone rolling last week, when he announced on-air that the band’s front man Mick Jagger would be a guest on The Tonight Show‘s Wednesday, May 6 episode, in support of the band’s latest album, Foreign Tongues.
NBC has now followed up that reveal with the news that Stones guitarist Keith Richards will be a guest the following night, Thursday, May 7.
Completing the three-night Rolling Stones roll-out, guitarist Ronnie Wood will be Fallon’s guest Wednesday, May 13.
This will be Richards’ third appearance on Fallon’s The Tonight Show, and the second for Jagger and Wood.
The three-night Rolling Stones event is the latest in a string of splashy springtime bookings for The Tonight Show. The South Korean global supergroup BTS appeared and performed across two nights in late March; NASA’s Artemis II crew visited the talker April 30 for their first late-night appearance since completing their 10-day mission around the moon; and the full cast of Broadway’s The Rocky Horror Show revival—including newly minted Tony Award nominees Luke Evans, Stephanie Hsu, and Rachel Dratch—performed “Sweet Transvestite” on this Monday’s telecast.
Fallon’s upcoming musical guests include Argentinian rapper Trueno (this Wednesday) and German singer Kim Petras (Thursday).
