Rod Stewart, the legendary British singer, is set to headline the Legends slot at Glastonbury Festival in 2025, bringing a sense of nostalgia and excitement to the event. The announcement, made official in recent weeks, confirms that Ronnie Wood, his former bandmate from the iconic group Faces, will join him on stage. This performance is expected to offer a unique fusion of talent and heritage, as both musicians share a rich history that has played an instrumental role in shaping rock music over the decades. Stewart’s appearance at Glastonbury is eagerly anticipated, particularly as it marks his return to a festival he last headlined in 2002, alongside Coldplay and Stereophonics.

The highlight of Stewart's set will undoubtedly be the reunion with Ronnie Wood. Both Stewart and Wood were key members of Faces, a band that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, characterized by their blues-rock style. Along with drummer Kenney Jones, the group thrilled audiences with their dynamic performances and vibrant sound. Faces enjoyed a successful albeit brief run, with classic albums like “A Nod Is As Good As a Wink… to a Blind Horse,” which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart. The reunion at Glastonbury is even more special considering that the band has hinted at a full-length album release after decades, with new material reportedly in the works.

Stewart's confirmation for the festival’s Legends slot is fitting, as this position has been historically filled by music greats such as Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, and Diana Ross. The Legends slot is set on the Pyramid Stage, typically reserved for performers of immense stature in the music industry, making it one of the most coveted appearances at the festival. Stewart’s performance is expected to draw widespread attention and highlight his extensive repertoire, complementing the modern acts also slated for the festival, including high-profile names like Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo, and The 1975.

Recently, Stewart shared in interviews his enthusiasm for reconnecting with Wood. The pair have maintained contact over the years, despite following separate paths after Faces, with Wood becoming a central figure in The Rolling Stones. Stewart mentioned on “The Peter Crouch Podcast” about how frequently he communicates with Wood, undoubtedly kindling excitement for their upcoming joint performance. This reunion is more than a musical collaboration; it is the rekindling of a long-standing friendship that fans will get to witness live.

The 2025 Glastonbury Festival is positioned to be a significant cultural event, drawing thousands to Worthy Farm, Somerset, from June 25 to 29. As is tradition, the festival will embark on a fallow year in 2026, allowing the farmland to recover, further intensifying the buzz for the 2025 lineup. Stewart expressed his eagerness and readiness for the event, even jesting about the cost of transporting his band for the performance but emphasizing his commitment to making it happen regardless of the expense. Tickets for the festival, which sold out rapidly during the April resale, have been a testament to the overwhelming demand and excitement surrounding Glastonbury each year.
