Mick Jagger, the indomitable frontman of the Rolling Stones, has taken a grand tour of Houston ahead of the band's concert at NRG Stadium this Sunday. The legendary rocker lit up social media with an array of snaps showcasing him diving into Houston's local culture, from the visual feast of Graffiti Park to the disciplined poise of the Houston Ballet. The Houston Chronicle reported that Jagger was "Having fun in Houston! Looking forward to seeing you all tonight at NRG stadium!" – a sentiment shared alongside photos capturing the pulse of the city.

Rock royalty doesn't just settle for any tour when they're in town. Visiting the Johnson Space Center, Jagger was seen rubbing elbows, virtually via Instagram, with astronauts Josh Cassada, Bob Hines, and Jessica Meir, who showed the rockstar not only the out-of-this-world facilities but also the gravity of their spacefaring legacy. Always on brand, the Stones’ frontman ensured fans could strut their stuff in fresh merch, announcing a pre-sale event for the exclusive Rolling Stones Hackney Diamonds '24 gear available before the show at NRG Stadium's green lot, according to Click2Houston.

Jagger checked into Goode Company Armadillo Palace, where he posed with a larger-than-life armadillo. The iconic reflection of Houston's spirit, and a table filled with Tex-Mex and barbecue, evidently won the Englishman's favor. Jagger also found time to mingle with the city's nightlife, a snap outside Burns Bail Bonds painted a different corner of the city usually not frequented by international superstars.

The "Satisfaction" singer also got grounded in tradition, stopping by the Houston Ballet. There, caught in a candid frame with principal dancer Connor Walsh, he showed his appreciation for the fine art of dance. Staging rehearsals of Mayerling, the troupe got a taste of rock n' roll swagger, with Walsh sharing the moment on social media, saying Jagger was there to watch them prepare for their upcoming performance of the intense ballet, as noted by The Houston Chronicle.
