羅德史都華將飾演格拉斯頓伯里的傳奇老虎機

Rod Stewart, the legendary rock star, has been confirmed to perform at Glastonbury's prestigious legends slot in 2025. This announcement comes 23 years after his last appearance at the iconic music festival. Known for his timeless hits such as 'Maggie May', 'Hot Legs', 'I Don't Wanna Talk About It', and 'Sailing', Stewart is set to take the stage during the coveted Sunday afternoon slot, a time that has previously featured renowned artists like Dolly Parton, Barry Gibb, Shania Twain, and Kylie Minogue. The 79-year-old singer expressed his excitement, stating he is 'proud, ready and more than able to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury' next June. This performance is particularly significant as Stewart has announced his plans to retire from large-scale world tours after 2025, making this a special moment for both him and his fans. The Sunday afternoon slot at Glastonbury is known for attracting one of the largest crowds of the festival, and Stewart will be the first artist to headline the event while also being given the legends billing. The last time he performed at Glastonbury, tickets were priced at £97, but this year, they have skyrocketed to £373. 50, reflecting the festival's growing popularity over the years. Rod Stewart's previous headlining performance at Glastonbury took place in 2002, where he shared the stage with Coldplay and Stereophonics. During that year, festival organizers were testing a five-mile 'superfence' designed to keep out gatecrashers, which proved to be a successful measure. Stewart entertained the audience with his charm and charisma, and he remarked on the positive press the festival received due to the orderly behavior of the crowd. He humorously questioned whether this was a good or bad thing but concluded that it was a sign that Glastonbury would continue for many more years. Initially, some audience members were hesitant about Stewart's performance, feeling he was taking himself too seriously. However, their doubts quickly faded when he performed his classic hits 'Maggie May' and 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? ' about half an hour into his set. The crowd realized that he had the right amount of fun and charm to earn a place in the Glastonbury Hall of Fame. Throughout his performance, Stewart engaged with the audience, showcasing his signature style with multiple costume changes, culminating in a striking white ruffled shirt that was unbuttoned almost to the navel. He concluded the night with a powerful rendition of 'Sailing', leading to a massive singalong as fireworks illuminated the sky above the Pyramid Stage. As the first confirmed act for Glastonbury 2025, Stewart's performance is highly anticipated. The festival will take place at Worthy Farm in Somerset from June 25 to June 29. There are rumors swirling about other potential headliners, including Sam Fender, Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Wonder, Eminem, and Charli XCX. This year's festival saw Dua Lipa and SZA make their debuts at the top of the bill, while Coldplay made history by headlining for a record-breaking sixth time. Tickets for this year's event, priced at £373. 50 plus a £5 booking fee, sold out quickly. The last time Stewart performed at Glastonbury, tickets were only £97, marking the last occasion the festival cost less than £100. For those eager to attend next year's event, a limited number of resale tickets will be available for purchase in the New Year.
