Rod Stewart, the knighted rocker whose raspy voice and flamboyant persona have electrified audiences for decades, is set to ignite the global stage once again with a monumental world tour in 2025. The British icon’s itinerary reads like a rock odyssey, crossing Europe, the United States, Canada, and South America—marking not only a celebration of a career that has defied generations but also a heartfelt thank-you to fans across continents.
With performances lined up from Kaunas to Las Vegas, and Bogotá to Munich, Stewart is proving that age is merely a number for a showman whose energy and charisma remain as magnetic as ever. From the luxurious halls of Caesars Palace to the historic fields of Quebec’s Festival d’été, this tour is a living chronicle of rock ‘n’ roll history brought to life.
Europe to Begin with a Bang: The Baltic and Nordic Blitz
The tour kicks off on April 23 in Kaunas, Lithuania at the Zalgiris Arena, before moving swiftly northward to Tampere, Finland on April 25 at the Nokia Arena. This leg introduces a rare opportunity for Baltic and Nordic fans to see Rod up close, something Stewart has acknowledged as a “long overdue reunion.”
From there, Stewart’s caravan heads to Oslo’s Spektrum on April 27 and Malmö Arena in Sweden on April 29, offering fans in Scandinavia a generous slice of musical nostalgia.
The first week of May sees the tour reach Germany, with shows at Dortmund’s Westfalenhalle (May 3) and Bremen’s OVB-Arena (May 4), before traveling east to Gdańsk and Krakow in Poland. Here, Stewart’s popularity remains immense, driven by classic ballads like “Sailing” and “I Don’t Want to Talk About It,” which have become anthems across generations.
Southern Romance and Vegas Residency: Milan to Mojave
Southern Europe gets its moment on May 10 in Milan, where the Unipol Forum will echo with hits from “Maggie May” to “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” A few days later, Lisbon’s MEO Arena will host Stewart on May 13—a venue known for unforgettable performances.
After a brief pause, Stewart’s next chapter takes him to his iconic Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. From May 29 to June 8, he’ll perform six dates in Sin City, turning the venue into a haven for glam rock, soul, and heartfelt storytelling. Fans can expect a high-gloss production that blends Stewart’s trademark humor with impeccable musicianship and dazzling visuals.
Stewart then takes to the West Coast with shows at Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage (June 12), Harveys Lake Tahoe (June 14), and Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles (June 15), bringing his roadshow into California’s golden landscape.
North American Summer: From Quebec to Yankee Stadium
July brings a transcontinental jump to Quebec’s Plains of Abraham on July 3 for the Festival d’été de Québec, a legendary outdoor event where Stewart will be joined by Richard Marx and Glass Tiger. On July 5, he shares the stage with Billy Joel at Pittsburgh’s Acrisure Stadium—a high-profile collaboration destined to be a crowd magnet.
The American East Coast then enjoys a string of dates: Raleigh, NC (July 8), Gilford, NH (July 11), Philadelphia (July 12), and Saratoga Springs, NY (July 15), where tickets are reportedly the hottest on the circuit.
By mid-July, it’s New York City’s turn, with Stewart and Billy Joel teaming up again at the monumental Yankee Stadium on July 18—a date already hyped as a summer-defining moment.
From there, the tour heads south and west with stops in Toronto, Uncasville, Mansfield, Charlotte, Alpharetta, and Birmingham, before culminating the summer in Nashville, St. Louis, and Cincinnati—the latter another Billy Joel collaboration.
Latin America to Close with Passion: Mexico to the River Plate
Rod Stewart’s Latin American leg begins October 7 in Mexico City, lighting up the Palacio de los Deportes. His arrival in Bogotá on October 14 promises a night of passion at the Movistar Arena, followed by a historic appearance at Montevideo’s Estadio Centenario—a venue that once hosted the first-ever FIFA World Cup final.
Chile’s San Carlos de Apoquindo will sing in unison on October 19, leading into a three-night residency at Buenos Aires’ Movistar Arena from October 22 to 24. Buenos Aires, where Stewart’s records have gone platinum multiple times, will serve as an emotional high point of the tour.
Encore in the Heart of Europe: Germany and Beyond
As the year winds down, Stewart returns to Germany with shows in Hamburg, Leipzig, Mannheim, and Cologne, followed by a spectacular performance in Zürich, Switzerland on December 5.
Then comes the dramatic finale: Munich’s Olympiahalle on December 7, Vienna’s Wiener Stadthalle on December 9, and Sofia’s Arena Serdika on December 11. Greece will host the very last performance of the tour at Athens’ Olympic Indoor Hall on December 13—a fitting conclusion to a truly pan-continental journey.
More Than a Concert: A Legacy in Motion
Rod Stewart’s 2025 tour isn’t just a series of concerts. It’s a time capsule of pop culture, a celebration of a legacy that spans over five decades. From his early days with The Faces to his soulful ventures into standards and his recent upbeat albums, Stewart has continually reinvented himself while staying true to the voice that made him famous.
What’s striking is how this tour blends the intimate and the monumental. Whether playing an arena in Lithuania or a legendary stadium in New York, Stewart’s performance connects generations—those who grew up with him, and those discovering his charm for the first time.
As Rolling Stone once described, Rod Stewart’s appeal is “part Sinatra, part street poet, and part carnival showman.” That blend, unpredictable yet always sincere, continues to inspire—and this 2025 tour is poised to remind the world why we’ve loved him for so long.
Will this be Rod Stewart’s last global tour? No one knows for sure. But if it is, he’s leaving the stage in the most majestic way possible—singing, dancing, and captivating audiences from Vilnius to Vegas.
