Rod Stewart is about to launch a new series of Las Vegas residency shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Thursday, May 28. The rock legend is also preparing for a highly anticipated performance at the U.K.’s famed Glastonbury Festival in June.

This will mark the first time Sir Rod has played Glastonbury since 2002, and Stewart revealed in a new interview on That Peter Crouch Podcast that he’ll be joined by a special guest at the show.
During the conversation, Stewart noted that he speaks a lot with his former Faces bandmate and longtime Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood. He then shared that he and Wood are “gonna do Glastonbury together.”
The news comes on the heels of an April 2025 interview with Faces drummer Kenney Jones that was published in U.K. newspaper The Telegraph, in which Jones revealed that he, Stewart, and Wood were making progress on a long-in-the-works Faces album.

Jones reported that “about 11 tracks” had been recorded for the album, which he thinks may be released in 2026.
Stewart will be performing during the Glastonbury Festival’s “teatime legend slot” on Sunday, June 29. When Rod’s performance at the festival was first announced, he said in a statement, “I’m proud, ready and more than able to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury in June.”
Other artists on the bill that day include headliner Olivia Rodrigo, Noah Kahan, The Prodigy, Nile Rodgers & Chic, Wolf Alice, Jorja Smith, The Libertines, Shaboozey, Future Islands, Snow Patrol, and St. Vincent.
Stewart’s Most Recent Previous Performances with Wood
Since the Faces broke up in 1975, Stewart has performed with Wood occasionally multiple times over the years. Most recently, the two played together at a star-studded tribute concert to the late Jeff Beck organized by Eric Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The show was held on May 23, 2023.
In February 2020, Stewart reunited with Wood and Jones to perform the Faces classic “Stay with Me” at the Brit Awards at The O2 arena in London.
Stewart’s Other 2025 Performance Plans
Stewart has dozens of upcoming concerts lined up in 2025, starting with the aforementioned Las Vegas residency. That six-show engagement will run from May 29 through June 8.
Leading up to the Glastonbury Festival, Rod also will play shows on June 12 in Rancho Mirage, California; June 14 in Stateline, Nevada; and June 15 in Paso Robles, California.
After Glastonbury, Stewart will launch a North American summer tour that plotted out from a July 3 performance in Quebec City, Canada, through an August 15 concert in Maryland Heights, Missouri. Cheap Trick will be opening many of those dates.
From September 24 through October 4, Rod will play another six shows in Las Vegas. That engagement will be followed by a Latin American tour leg in October and a series of European concerts in November and December. Stewart last scheduled 2025 gig is a December 17 performance in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
