Rod Stewart Stuns Fans by Bringing Out Three Music Legends at Glastonbury Festival originally appeared on Parade.

Rod Stewart delivered a stunning performance during Sunday, June 29th’s coveted Legends slot on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, surprising fans by inviting three iconic guests to join him for the occasion. Ronnie Wood, Mick Hucknall, and Lulu all took the stage with the 80‑year‑old rock legend for a 90‑minute, career‑spanning set that included “Maggie May,” “Forever Young,” “I Don’t Want to Talk About It” and “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” among many, many other hits.

The biggest surprise came when Stewart welcomed former Faces bandmate Wood to perform a rousing rendition of “Stay With Me” to the screaming crowd. The moment marked the first time Stewart and guitarist Wood had shared the spotlight since 2020, when they famously joined forces at the BRIT Awards to perform the same song.

He then shared the spotlight with Simply Red's Mick Hucknall, 65, who joined him for a soulful rendition of “If You Don’t Know Me By Now.” Finally, Scottish singer Lulu, 76, appeared for a spirited performance of Stewart’s “Hot Legs” after an awkward gaffe earlier in the show when he tried to introduce her too soon and she didn’t show up.

In an additional highlight, legendary Glasonbury Festival founder Michael Eavis, 89, was wheeled onstage and embraced by Stewart, prompting cheers from the massive audience. The set ended on a high note with a singalong to Stewart’s 1975 hit “Sailing.”

The legendary performance was backed by a full band including fiddles and saxophones, and Stewart did three dramatic costume changes to make the performance extra special.

Fans were especially excited to see Stewart and Wood perform together since the duo has been teasing that they’ve rekindled their creative partnership recently. In an April 2025 interview with The Telegraph, Faces drummer Kenney Jones teased that they’d already recorded “about 11 tracks” for a new album together in London, marking their first studio work together since 1973’s Ooh La La. They seemed to be feeling nostalgic during the performance, with Stewart saying “Come on Ronnie, let's do it like the old days, son” before their duet.
