Mick Jagger will be joined by Arcade Fire and Foo Fighters when he performs on the season finale of Saturday Night Live on May 19th, Entertainment Weekly reports. It's unclear what Jagger will sing with the two bands, but odds are good that he will revisit Rolling Stones classics to celebrate his band's 50th anniversary.

Jagger will be the host of the episode as well as the musical guest. Jagger has never hosted the program on his own, though he shared that duty with the rest of the Rolling Stones back in 1978. Arcade Fire and Foo Fighters are no strangers to the program either: the Canadian rock collective has been a musical guest twice, and Foo frontman Dave Grohl has performed on the show 10 times previously with the Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Them Crooked Vultures and Tom Petty.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
