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.

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.”

In a new interview with TalkSport, Rod Stewart has looked ahead to Glastonbury and revealed that he'll lose $300,000 by performing at the festival.
