Sir Rod Stewart delivered a truly memorable performance at Glastonbury Festival. Taking the Pyramid Stage by storm on Sunday afternoon, Sir Rod owned the coveted Legends slot.
He proved he’s still a legendary entertainer, dazzling with a medley of his major hits including ‘Maggie May’, ‘Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?’ and ‘Sailing’, and delighting the audience with other crowd-pleasers like ‘Love Train’.
The set was elevated with appearances from an array of special guests such as Mick Hucknall, Ronnie Wood, and Lulu.

In a touching homage, Sir Rod honoured the late Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac, who passed away in November 2022, by projecting her image on the big screen for all of Glastonbury to see.
The enthusiastic crowd flocked to catch Sir Rod’s epic show, staying refreshed with cups of water as temperatures soared across the festival grounds, reports the Mirror.
Yet, despite the excitement, Lulu, one of Rod’s guests during the afternoon performance, had a slightly awkward entrance.
Rod introduced Ronnie Wood and then Lulu, but as Ronnie promptly made his way on stage, Lulu was nowhere in sight.
Rod paused and announced ‘oh Lulu is coming on in a bit’ as Ronnie picked up his guitar and played for the massive Glastonbury audience.
Lulu later made her appearance, performing Hot Legs with Rod in her dazzling white suit.
In another apparent moment of error, Rod seemed to fluff the introduction to one of his most renowned songs, Maggie May.
The singer appeared to start too early as he sang the massive hit, but that didn’t deter fans from joining in.
The song sparked the largest singalong of the set from the enormous crowd, which was filled to capacity as Rod dominated the iconic Pyramid Stage for ninety minutes.
Rod must have been having such a good time that he ended his set a few minutes late. Amid the costume changes and celebrity guests, Rod finished his set about five minutes later than expected.
“We have got to get off the stage soon, we are done,” he informed the crowd before performing the hit track Sailing. He also expressed gratitude to all his celebrity guests for their contribution to his show, which was warmly received by fans.
