At 80 years old, Sir Rod Stewart lit up Glastonbury 2025 with a dazzling “Legends” slot performance that had the Pyramid Stage crowd dancing, singing, and cheering from start to finish. With a career spanning six decades, Stewart proved he’s still got the charm, voice, and showmanship to headline one of the world’s biggest festivals — and leave a lasting impression.
The 90-minute set was packed with fan favorites and sing-along classics, including “Maggie May,” “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?”, “Tonight I’m Yours,” and “Forever Young.” As the show reached its emotional peak with “Sailing,” Stewart and his band appeared in sailor hats, creating a beautiful, symbolic tribute to his enduring musical journey — and touching the hearts of thousands in the crowd.
Rod didn’t just bring the hits; he brought the flair. Sporting several outfit changes — including a standout pink suit — and backed by energetic dancers and a vibrant band, he delivered a show that was as fun as it was heartfelt. While some cheekily called it “gloriously cheesy,” most agreed it was pure joy. In true Rod fashion, he owned the stage with cheeky grins, stylish moves, and feel-good vibes.
Amid the sparkle, there were sincere moments too. He dedicated “Love Train” to Ukraine, drawing loud applause from a crowd that appreciated his message of peace and unity. Though earlier in the weekend he made headlines for expressing support for Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, the audience remained focused on the music — and embraced the good energy Stewart brought to the stage.
With a twinkle in his eye and a laugh about the blazing stage heat (“It’s f***ing hot,” he joked), Rod reminded everyone why live music still matters. It wasn’t just a show — it was a celebration of longevity, connection, and the timeless power of a great song delivered by a true showman.
For long-time fans and newcomers alike, Rod Stewart’s Glastonbury set was unforgettable. It proved that age is just a number and that great music — when performed with heart, humor, and a little sparkle — never goes out of style.
