Rod Stewart Returns to Glastonbury for Legends Slot in 2025

Rod Stewart has been announced to perform at Glastonbury's coveted legends slot in 2025, marking his first return to the festival in 23 years, where fans anticipate a dazzling display of his timeless hits.

Rod Stewart, the legendary rock artist, is set to grace Glastonbury Festival in 2025, taking on the prestigious legends slot on Sunday afternoon. This performance will mark his first appearance at the famed festival since 2002, adding to an illustrious career that includes some of the best-selling albums in music history. Stewart's hit list is expected to include beloved tracks such as "Maggie May," "Hot Legs," "I Don't Wanna Talk About It," and "Sailing."

Stewart, who is now 79 years old, expressed excitement about his upcoming performance, stating he feels "proud, ready and more than able" to entertain festival-goers next June. Following a decision to scale back on large-scale tours after 2025, this show will be one of his final outings at a major festival. He will be joining the ranks of past legends slot performers like Dolly Parton and Kylie Minogue, becoming the first artist to headline and later be featured in this special capacity.

The Glastonbury festival takes place at Worthy Farm in Somerset between June 25 and 29, 2025. In anticipation of the event, ticket prices have seen a significant increase since Stewart's last performance – from £97 to £373.50. Despite this increase, tickets have already sold out, reflecting the continuing popularity of the festival.

Additionally, the event will be buzzing with speculation about other possible headliners, with names such as Sam Fender, Olivia Rodrigo, and Stevie Wonder being floated. A limited number of resale tickets will be available early next year, providing another opportunity for fans to attend this celebrated event.
