Who better to dance to “Moves Like Jagger” than Mick Jagger himself? The Rolling Stones frontman recently shared a hilarious video of him grooving to a cover band’s performance of the Maroon 5 hit while enjoying a night out at a bar.
In the playful clip, the 80-year-old rock legend flashes a wide grin while showing off some energetic dance moves. Behind him, the band plays on as laughter echoes in the background. A sign above the stage reveals the location—Mustique Blues Festival, an annual event on the private Caribbean island of Mustique, where Jagger owns a residence.
Jagger captioned the video with a cheeky nod to the song’s title: “Moves like who! … Music by Splash.”
The video was filmed at Basil’s Bar, a famous seaside hangout that opened in 1976 and has since become a hotspot for music legends. Over the years, the bar has welcomed stars like Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, and Mick Jagger himself. In 2024, the Mustique Blues Festival ran from January 24 to February 7, drawing music lovers from around the world.
Jagger’s dance moves quickly went viral, drawing plenty of reactions from fans and even one of his children.
His 24-year-old son Lucas Jagger seemed amused—and a little embarrassed—commenting, “Dadda, WHO PUT U UP TO THIS[?]” One fan jumped to Mick’s defense, replying, “Your Dadda is my hero!!!! We love the man!!!!!!”
Other fans celebrated Jagger’s infectious energy:
“I adore your youthful energy … always full of beans and smiling!!”
“This is the greatest, most meta thing that’s ever existed.”
Mick Jagger’s Thoughts on “Moves Like Jagger”
Released in 2011, “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5 (featuring Christina Aguilera) became a global sensation, spending four weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. The track pays homage to Jagger’s iconic stage presence—and he’s admitted he’s a fan.
In a 2012 interview with The Sun, Jagger called the song “very catchy” and joked, “Only thing is, it puts pressure on me when I go out dancing!” He even admitted he wished he’d written the song himself, saying, “Wouldn’t that be weird?”
If his dance moves at Basil’s Bar are any indication, Mick Jagger is more than ready to return to the stage.
The Rolling Stones will kick off their 2024 North American tour on April 28 in Houston, supporting their latest album, Hackney Diamonds. The 19-show trek wraps up on July 17 in Santa Clara, California, with tickets available through various outlets, including StubHub.
At 80 years old, Jagger’s still proving he’s got the moves—and fans wouldn’t have it any other way.
