Rod Stewart is calling it. The 81-year-old rock legend announced on Instagram that his 2027 UK and European tour will be his final rock‘n’roll tour ever.“Next year will be my last tour forever ever,”he said.“I’m not retiring. But this will be the last rock‘n’roll tour.”So the music continues, but the road days are officially numbered.
The farewell run starts April 23 in Dublin and ends July 24 in Hannover, with Howard Jones supporting the UK dates. Before that, Stewart plays four US makeup shows in March 2027 and returns to Red Rocks Amphitheatre on September 2 and 3. Those dates follow a rough stretch: an August coronary stent procedure forced him to postpone his 2026 North American tour and cancel his Las Vegas residency.
Six decades of hits, one last lap. If you’ve got a Rod Stewart memory, a favorite song, or a ticket story, we want to hear it. Which Rod song would you need to hear live one final time?
