The Rolling Stones will return to the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona, but not to perform, but to be present on the FC Barcelona shirt in their match with Real Madrid on October 28. As a result of the collaboration agreement between Barça and Spotify, The Rolling Stones' Tongue and Lips logo replaces the music platform's advertising on the 'blaugrana' background.
In this way, their 'satanic majesties' replace other artists who have embodied their logos in Barça's team in their clashes with Madrid. Last year at the match at the Santiago Bernabéu, the Blaugrana wore an exclusive shirt with Drake's logo while at the match at the Camp Nou on March 19 they wore one of 'Motomami', Rosalía's album.
For this occasion, the logo famous for representing Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood was chosen. It will be available on both the men's and women's teams and serves to celebrate the release of The Rolling Stones' first original content album in 18 years, 'Hackney Diamonds', on October 20.
The new album is a summary of the British band's 60-year history. In addition to wearing it at the match, a limited edition will go on sale from 23 October at the official FC Barcelona store. Specifically, 1,899 shirts are on sale, an amount inspired by the year the club was founded. In addition, the club will put on sale a very special collection of 22 shirts signed by the 11 starting players.
FC Barcelona will also share a special edition of the popular Barça Matchday playlist on Spotify with the best rock songs to motivate players and fans in the moments leading up to the match, which will include music by The Rolling Stones.
"We are huge football fans and we are honoured that Spotify has brought our Tongue & Lips logo to adorn the FC Barcelona jersey on the occasion of the release of The Stones' new album 'Hackney Diamonds'," said the members of The Rolling Stones. "We will be cheering on the players on the pitch, as well as fans around the world who will tune in to watch this iconic match." The only thing missing is that they don't play Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood due to the plague of injuries that Barça have.
