Fez — The Rolling Stones are entering the FIFA World Cup 2026 music universe through a new collaboration with FIFA that brings classic rock into the tournament’s official cultural rollout.
The partnership includes a special remix of the band’s new song “In the Stars,” featured on the official FIFA World Cup 2026 album. It also includes three limited-edition FIFA World Cup 2026 vinyl covers for the Rolling Stones’ upcoming Capitol Records album “Foreign Tongues.”
The move places one of the most iconic bands in music history inside FIFA’s expanding entertainment strategy for the 2026 tournament, which will take place across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Rock enters the World Cup sound
The Rolling Stones’ “In the Stars” remix appears on FIFA’s 18-track official album, a project bringing together artists across pop, hip-hop, Afrobeats, Latin music, reggae, Arab pop, and global club sounds.
The album also features LISA, Anitta, Rema, Future, Tyla, Daddy Yankee, Shenseea, French Montana, Major Lazer, Nelly Furtado, Davido, Ayra Starr, Latto, Nora Fatehi, Vegedream, Sanjoy, Shakira, and Burna Boy.
The Rolling Stones’ presence gives the project a generational bridge. While much of the album leans into contemporary global pop and streaming culture, the band brings a legacy built on stadium performance, mass fandom, and decades of cultural influence.
That contrast is what makes the collaboration stand out. FIFA is not only chasing current chart energy. It is also placing rock history inside a World Cup built to be the biggest edition ever, with 48 teams and three host nations.
