SIR Rod Stewart will be sailing into Somerset next summer to perform the legends slot at Glastonbury 2025.

The star has been confirmed as filling the Sunday afternoon spot at next year’s festival, which runs at Worthy Farm, Pilton, between June 25 and 29.

“We’re excited to announce that Sir Rod Stewart will play the Sunday teatime legend slot at Glastonbury 2025,” organisers announced on social media.

Sir Rod, famed for hits including Maggie May, Sailing and Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?, follows the likes of Diana Ross, Dolly Parton and Shania Twain in taking on the ‘legends’ slot at the Somerset festival.

He said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that I’ll be playing Glastonbury 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!”

The famed Celtic fan becomes the first act to have filled that space, having previously headlined the festival, which he did in 2002.
