Rock legend Sir Rod Stewart is set to make a triumphant return to Glastonbury Festival this summer, headlining the coveted legends slot on Sunday, June 25. The performance will be part of his globally celebrated “One Last Time” tour—his final run of large-scale concerts before shifting to more intimate shows.
This marks Stewart’s first Glastonbury appearance since 2002 and is poised to be one of his most emotional performances yet. Although he’s stepping back from touring internationally, the 80-year-old icon made it clear that he’s not retiring from the stage altogether. Instead, fans can expect more intimate performances in the years to come.
The tour, which spans North America, Europe, South America, and includes a stop in Abu Dhabi, has been billed as a celebration of Stewart’s six-decade legacy in music. For UK fans, the Glastonbury appearance will be a rare and nostalgic opportunity to see the rock ‘n’ roll icon perform hits that defined generations.
Expressing excitement about the performance, Stewart shared on social media, “Proud and ready and more than able to take the stage again to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury in June.” Known for his dynamic stage presence and crowd-pleasing charisma, Stewart’s set is expected to be one of the highlights of this year’s festival.
As part of his farewell tour, this Glastonbury performance offers fans the chance to honor a legendary career that helped shape rock history. With energy, elegance, and a bit of cheeky charm, Rod Stewart is gearing up to give Glastonbury one unforgettable show.
