Rod Stewart is the first act confirmed for Glastonbury 2025, with the festival announcing that the rock star will play the Legends slot on the Pyramid Stage.
The performance marks 23 years since his last performance at the festival.
Sir Rod, 79, will play the famous Sunday teatime ‘legends’ slot in 2024, following in the footsteps of Shania Twain.
Rod told the BBC he was ‘proud and ready’ to play the festival, adding that – at the age of 79 – he was ‘more than capable of pleasing and exciting the audience’.
He previously headlined the festival in 2002, alongside Coldplay and Stereophonics.

His appearance was announced on Tuesday by co-organiser Emily Eavis in a post on Instagram, which said: ‘Bringing back Sir Rod Stewart for the Sunday afternoon slot on the Pyramid Stage is everything we could ask for.
“What a way to leave the last Legends slot before we take a fallow year. We can’t wait.’
