Sir Rod Stewart has been confirmed as the first headliner for the Glastonbury festival in 2025. The announcement was made by festival organizer Emily Eavis on Instagram, expressing excitement about having Sir Rod back for the Sunday afternoon slot on the Pyramid stage.
This will not be Sir Rod’s first time at Glastonbury, as he headlined the festival back in 2002, closing out the event on Sunday night. Other notable artists who have played the coveted Sunday afternoon legends slot include Shania Twain, Yusuf/Cat Stevens, Diana Ross, Kylie Minogue, and Dame Shirley Bassey.
While Sir Rod recently announced that he will be ending large-scale world tours, he made it clear that he has no plans to retire. Instead, he is considering a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour for the future, focusing on smaller venues and a more intimate setting.
With a career spanning six decades, Sir Rod Stewart is known for hits like “You’re In My Heart,” “Hot Legs,” “Tonight’s The Night,” and “Maggie May.” He is a member of the US Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and was knighted in the 2016 Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
As the first musical act announced for the 2025 Glastonbury festival, fans can expect an unforgettable performance from the legendary Sir Rod Stewart on the iconic Pyramid stage. Stay tuned for more updates on the festival lineup and schedule as the event draws closer.
