Rod Stewart Set to Headline Glastonbury's Legends Slot in 2025

Rod Stewart, one of music's best-selling artists, has been confirmed to headline the Glastonbury festival's legends slot in 2025. This performance marks his return to the iconic festival 23 years after he first headlined in 2002. Stewart will follow legendary artists such as Dolly Parton and Kylie Minogue, performing during the coveted Sunday teatime slot that typically draws massive crowds. Excited for the upcoming show, the 79-year-old expressed his readiness to entertain audiences as he gears up to conclude his large-scale world tours by the end of 2025.

Stewart's return comes amidst changes at the festival, notably the rising ticket prices, which have increased from £97 during his last performance to £373.50 this year. Despite this inflation, his performance is highly anticipated, as rumored headliners for Glastonbury 2025 include other major artists like Sam Fender and Eminem. This year's festival saw newcomers Dua Lipa and SZA take the stage as headliners, while Coldplay made history with their sixth headlining appearance, showcasing the evolving landscape of Glastonbury's lineup through the years.
