Overview
- The BBC scheduled a repeat of Sir Rod Stewart’s Glastonbury 2025 performance to air on BBC Two on Saturday, June 27, 2026, as part of its festival highlights programming.
- Stewart publicly said on Instagram that doctors ordered him to rest after a bout of flu that forced him to cancel shows before the festival.
- Reports from entertainment outlets say his wife Penny Lancaster took him to a London throat specialist and that he underwent voice coaching, hot and cold steaming and strict vocal rest.
- Those reports add that his voice recovered only two days before the set, which was his first Glastonbury appearance in 23 years and took place in the festival’s 'Legends' slot with family in attendance.
- Glastonbury is on a planned break in 2026 so broadcasters are re‑airing 2025 highlights and the current coverage revisits the earlier illness and recovery story without reporting any new medical developments and noting some details come from tabloid sources rather than independent verification.
