Overview

  • Stewart negotiated his Glastonbury Legends slot from 75 to 90 minutes to fit more of his hits into the set.
  • He will forgo any onstage introductions by shouting “next” to move straight between songs.
  • The Pyramid Stage performance will feature a small orchestra, possible bagpipes and a guest appearance from Ronnie Wood.
  • Stewart rejected the “teatime slot” label, vowing to focus on entertaining his audience rather than critics.
  • His Sunday, June 29 show marks his first return to the Pyramid Stage since 2002 with a streamlined, special performance.
