Yahoo News Rod Stewart announces major UK tour: How to buy tickets
'We'll all be dancing under the stars'
Rod Stewart has announced a six-date UK tour with the concerts set to take place at castles, country estates and football stadiums.
After the success of his 2022 tour, Stewart is hitting the road again in the summer of 2023 with the shows set to feature all of the rock legend's classic hits such as Maggie May and Sailing.
In a statement announcing the tour, Stewart said: "My favourite memories have been summer nights with a beer or two alongside the best fans in the world.
"I'm impatiently awaiting this summer playing at a variety of special venues - football, cricket and rugby stadiums, estates and castles! We'll all be dancing under the stars."
How to buy Rod Stewart tour tickets
Tickets will go on sale on Ticketmaster today (Friday) at 10am.
The 78-year-old will begin the UK leg of his tour on 24 June at Home Park Stadium in Plymouth while he will also be performing at Edinburgh Castle for the first time in 13 years.
Stewart will also perform his first ever gigs in Northampton and Badminton.
Stewart's performance at Badminton Estate will mark the first time the country house has hosted a concert though it has been used as a filming location for movies such as 28 Days Later and Pearl Harbor.
Stewart recently confirmed that he will not be performing at King Charles III's coronation later this year after appearing at the Queen's diamond jubilee celebrations last year.
The former Faces singer said: "I think I have worn out my royal welcome. I think I will leave it to someone else. I will be in Las Vegas. But my wife will be on duty as a policewoman though."
