**Rod Stewart Reigns Over Glastonbury’s Legends Slot with Surprise Guests and Pure Magic**
Rod Stewart turned Glastonbury’s famed “Legends Slot” into a riotous celebration of rock, soul, and decades of unforgettable hits. Taking the Pyramid Stage with signature swagger and a twinkle in his eye, Stewart launched into “Sailing” to a roar from the massive crowd, who sang every word with arms raised high. The moment was electric, but the real magic unfolded as a series of surprise guests took the stage.
First came a reunion that brought the house down—Ronnie Wood, Stewart’s former bandmate from The Faces, strolled out for a gritty, joy-fueled rendition of “Stay With Me,” setting the tone for what would be a star-studded set. Next, Simply Red’s Mick Hucknall joined Rod for a smooth, soulful duet on “You Make Me Feel Brand New,” their voices blending effortlessly.
But it was Lulu’s entrance that truly shook the crowd. Bursting onto the stage with boundless energy, she and Rod tore through a fiery version of “Hot Legs,” trading vocals and dancing like it was 1978 all over again.
Between the classics—“Tonight’s the Night,” “Maggie May,” “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?”—and the powerful ballads, Stewart struck the perfect balance of nostalgia and vitality. Clad in glittering gold and full of cheeky charm, he cracked, “I wish they wouldn’t call it the tea time slot,” drawing laughter from fans. But by the time he closed with “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?”—complete with fireworks and confetti—it was clear: Rod wasn’t just filling a slot.
He was owning Glastonbury, proving once again that some legends don’t fade—they just get louder, bolder, and better with time.
