Rod Stewart will play the “legends” slot at Britain’s Glastonbury Festival next year, more than two decades after he headlined the music festival, the organizers said Tuesday.

Stewart, 79, said on social media that he was “proud and ready and more than able to take the stage again to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury in June.”

The rock star, who headlined Glastonbury in 2002, was the first musical act announced for the June 2025 festival at Worthy Farm in the southwest of England.

Shania Twain starred in the coveted legends slot for this year’s festival, which drew some 200,000 music fans and was headlined by Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA.

Stewart, who turns 80 in January, recently said he was ending large-scale world tours but added he had “no desire to retire” after six decades in music.

“I love what I do, and I do what I love. I’m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 metres in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79,” he wrote on Instagram last week.

Glastonbury organizer Emily Eavis said bringing Stewart back was “everything we could wish for,” before the festival takes a break or a “fallow year” to allow the farmland that hosts the festival to rest.

Drake-Lamar feud escalates: Drake alleged in a court filing Monday that Universal Music Group falsely pumped up the popularity on Spotify and other streaming services of Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” a song that attacked Drake amid a bitter feud between the two hip-hop superstars.

The petition in a New York court by the rapper’s company, Frozen Moments LLC, demands the preservation and divulgence of information that might be evidence in a potential lawsuit against UMG, which is the distributor for the record labels of both Drake and Lamar.

In allegations that UMG calls “offensive and untrue,” the filing says the record company “launched a campaign to manipulate and saturate the streaming services and airwaves with a song, ‘Not Like Us,’ in order to make that song go viral, including by using ‘bots’ and pay-to-play agreements.” The filing alleges that UMG offered special licensing rates to Spotify for the song.

The petition also says UMG has fired employees seen as loyal to Drake “in an apparent effort to conceal its schemes.”

Drake has also revealed that his first tour of Australia in eight years will begin on the same date as Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance. He announced the tour during a livestream Sunday with Félix Lengyel, a Quebec streamer.

Drake said the tour will begin Feb. 9, the same date Lamar is due to take the stage at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, a connection Drake didn’t make in the video.

The feud between Drake, 38, and Lamar, 37, is among the biggest in hip-hop in recent years. The two were occasional collaborators more than a decade ago, but Lamar began taking public jabs at Drake in 2013.
