Rod Stewart will be a headliner at Glastonbury this year, the festival has announced.
Stewart, 79, will play the Sunday teatime legend slot.
He is the first act to be announced.
His appearance was announced by co-organiser Emily Eavis in a post on Instagram on Tuesday, which read: “Bringing Sir Rod Stewart back for the Sunday afternoon slot on the Pyramid Stage is everything we could wish for.
“What a way to bow out with the final legends slot before we take a fallow year. We cannot wait.”
2026 will be a fallow year for Glastonbury (a year off), with the festival traditionally taking place four out of every five years, and the fifth year reserved for rehabilitation of the land.
