Stewart, who turns 80 before he will take the Glastonbury stage, is in good company for the superlative. Paul McCartney was 80 when he performed at the festival in 2022. Meanwhile, the late Burt Bacharach holds the record as the oldest person to play Glastonbury. He was 87 when he took the stage in 2015.

Grammy-winning singer Rod Stewart will headline the "Legend" slot at the 2025 Glastonbury music festival. Organizers announced Tuesday that Stewart, 79, will perform during the coveted Sunday time slot June 29.

"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," the rock star said on Tuesday.
