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

His appearance was announced by co-organiser Emily Eavis in a post on Instagram on Tuesday, which read: ‘Bringing Sir Rod Stewart back for the Sunday afternoon slot on the Pyramid Stage is everything we could wish for.
‘What a way to bow out with the final legends slot before we take a fallow year. We cannot wait.’
