Rod Stewart, one of the music industry's most iconic figures, is officially set to take the stage at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival as part of its prestigious legends billing. This long-awaited return comes 23 years after his last performance at the festival in 2002 where he shared the stage with notable acts like Coldplay and Stereophonics.
Stewart, now 79, will perform during the coveted Sunday teatime slot, a role previously occupied by legendary artists such as Dolly Parton and Kylie Minogue. In a recent statement, he expressed his enthusiasm, saying he is "proud, ready, and more than able to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury" next June.
This upcoming appearance marks a significant milestone; Stewart will become the first artist to both headline the festival and receive the legends billing. Concert attendance for this spot typically draws massive crowds, and anticipation is already building for his set, which is expected to feature beloved hits like "Maggie May," "Hot Legs," "I Don't Wanna Talk About It," and "Sailing."
Comparatively, ticket prices have risen over the years, with last year's festival tickets priced at £373.50 compared to the £97 charged during Stewart's last performance. Stewart’s return aligns with his announcement to halt large-scale world tours following 2025.
As the lineup for Glastonbury 2025 begins to take shape, Stewart is the first confirmed act, joining a list of rumored headliners including Sam Fender, Olivia Rodrigo, and Stevie Wonder. The festival is set to run from June 25 to 29, 2025, at its iconic Worthy Farm location in Somerset.
With tickets already sold out, eager fans will be hopeful for resale opportunities in the New Year. As the event draws closer, the excitement around Rod Stewart's Glastonbury comeback continues to soar, promising an unforgettable experience filled with music history and nostalgia.
