Rod Stewart to perform in legends slot at Glastonbury

Sir Rod Stewart is set to take on the coveted Sunday teatime legend slot at Glastonbury 2025, marking his return to Worthy Farm after his memorable Pyramid Stage headline performance in 2002. Known for his electrifying charisma and enduring musical legacy, Stewart’s return is one of the most anticipated moments of the festival.

“I’m proud, ready, and more than able to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury in June,”

Stewart commented, promising a show that will showcase his timeless hits and unique stage presence.

Rod Stewart’s illustrious career has spanned more than five decades, cementing his place as one of the best-selling artists in music history. With over 250 million records and singles sold globally, his contribution to rock, pop, and soul remains unparalleled. He first gained prominence as the lead singer of The Jeff Beck Group and later with Faces, delivering a string of hits that defined 1960s and 70s rock. His solo career skyrocketed with timeless classics like "Maggie May," "Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?" and "Sailing," which have become staples in popular music.

In addition to his vocal prowess, Stewart is celebrated for his versatility, seamlessly blending rock, soul, and even folk influences into his music. Earlier this year, his collaboration with Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra on the album Swing Fever earned him his 11th No. 1 album in the UK. This achievement places him among music royalty, sharing the honor with legends like David Bowie, Taylor Swift, and U2.

Stewart’s enduring appeal lies not only in his iconic voice but also in his magnetic stage presence. His performance at Glastonbury 2025 is expected to be a jubilant celebration of his storied career, offering festivalgoers a chance to revel in his musical brilliance once more.
