Watch Rod Stewart Rocks the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury 2025

Sir Rod Stewart, aged 80, commanded the legendary Sunday “Legends” slot on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival 2025, delivering a dynamic 90‑minute set that blended nostalgia, showmanship, and surprise guest appearances.

Fans were treated to a 21‑song extravaganza featuring hits such as “Tonight I’m Yours,” “Maggie May,” “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?”, “Young Turks,” and “Forever Young.” The show culminated in an emotional finale with “Sailing” as Stewart and his band donned sailor caps.

Described as “Vegas‑style razzmatazz,” the set featured multiple costume changes—including a bold pink suit—and a troupe of backing dancers, earning plaudits for its high-energy production, though some critics dubbed it “next‑level cheese”.

Beyond entertainment, Stewart used his platform to make statements: dedicating Love Train to Ukraine and subtly contrasting his message of unity against politically charged performances earlier in the weekend.

He also stirred buzz by publicly expressing support for Nigel Farage and the Reform Party prior to the festival, though the audience remained receptive. Stewart even acknowledged the intense stage heat, famously quipping, “It’s f***ing hot”.

Festivalgoers and critics alike praised the show. One fan called it “one of the best Legends slots in #Glasto history,” while others appreciated Stewart’s stamina and star power at age 80.
