Glastonbury festival organiser Emily Eavis said in a post on Instagram: “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!.”
20 years before Glastonbury 2025, the festival's main stage was headlined by The White Stripes, Coldplay, and Basement Jaxx, with Brian Wilson in the Legend slot on Sunday.
Stewart headlined Glastonbury's Legend slot in 2002, performing on Sunday night to close out the festival.
He is the first musical act announced for next year’s festival.
Last week, the rock and roll star announced online via his Instagram that he wanted to end “large-scale world tours” but brushed off retirement plans.
Speaking about his surprise appearance at Glastonbury Festival 2025, the singer said: "I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that I’ll be playing @glastofest 2025!
"After all these years, I’m proud and ready and more than able to take the stage again to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury in June.
"I’ll see you there!"
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
