In brief
Rod Stewart, the legendary rock star, is scheduled to grace the Glastonbury Festival's legends slot in 2025, marking 23 years since his last appearance. Known for hits like "Maggie May" and "Sailing," Stewart will follow in the footsteps of esteemed artists such as Dolly Parton and Shania Twain. At 79 years old, he expressed his excitement, stating he is "proud, ready and more than able" to entertain festival-goers next June.
Stewart has a unique place in Glastonbury's history, as he will be the first artist to both headline and be given a legends billing, a coveted Sunday afternoon slot that traditionally attracts large crowds. He previously headlined the festival in 2002, a time marked by the implementation of a "superfence" designed to deter gatecrashers, which proved effective.The last time Stewart performed, tickets were priced at £97, in stark contrast to this year’s £373.50. This notable increase highlights the festival's evolving landscape. Rumored headliners for the 2025 event include popular names like Sam Fender and Olivia Rodrigo, following a successful year that featured newcomers Dua Lipa and SZA.As anticipation builds, limited resale tickets for this unmissable musical event will be available early next year, with fans eager to witness Stewart’s legendary performances once again amidst the vibrant atmosphere of Worthy Farm, running from June 25 to 29.
