Days after Rod Stewart was confirmed as the first artist to be performing at the 2025 edition of England's Glastonbury Festival, the British singer has revealed it'll come with a large financial cost.

Stewart, who turns 80 before he will take the Glastonbury stage, is in good company for the superlative. Paul McCartney was 80 when he performed at the festival in 2022. Meanwhile, the late Burt Bacharach holds the record as the oldest person to play Glastonbury. He was 87 when he took the stage in 2015.

Glastonbury organisers have announced the first artist on the lineup for its 2025 festival... Rod Stewart. The veteran rocker shared the news from his social media on Tuesday (26 November), writing: “I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that I’ll be playing 2025!

Rod Stewart will be asking Glastonbury “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” come June. The 79-year-old singer will play the festival’s Sunday “legend slot,” it was revealed on Tuesday in Glastonbury’s first artist announcement for its 2025 edition. Stewart also posted on his social media in response to the news, writing that he is “absolutely thrilled.”

Grammy-winning singer Rod Stewart will headline the "Legend" slot at the 2025 Glastonbury music festival. Organizers announced Tuesday that Stewart, 79, will perform during the coveted Sunday time slot June 29.
