Rock Royalty Reunited! Rod & Ron Prove Legends Still Rock the Cradle (and the Stage)
GLASTONBURY – Who says rock ’n’ roll is a young man’s game? Sir Rod Stewart and Rolling Stones riffmaster Ron Wood hit the Glasto stage like two mischievous schoolboys who stole Dad’s guitar and never gave it back.
More than 50 years after they first shared a mic stand (and probably a bottle of scotch), the iconic duo reunited at the legendary festival to remind the world—and possibly their knees—that they still got it. Ron hadn’t graced Glastonbury in over two decades, and joked it’d cost him £300,000 to get his gear there. The crowd didn’t care who paid—once the lights went up, so did the hair, the volume, and the nostalgia.
Rod “Da Ya Think I’m Still Sexy?” Stewart crooned with his signature rasp, while Ron Wood’s guitar playing made it sound like the '70s never ended. Together, they brought the house down—and possibly a few hips—with a throwback set full of winks, riffs, and glorious chaos.
But this wasn’t just a gig—it was a bromantic rock revival. Their friendship goes back to the days of Jeff Beck, tight jeans, and even tighter harmonies. The Faces may have faded in ’75, but the bond between Rod and Ron stayed chart-topping. As Ron once put it, “We’re like brothers—sometimes we argue, but we always laugh.” And that laughter echoed loud across the fields of Somerset this weekend.
With one knight and one stone rolling back the years, it’s clear: rock may grow old, but it never grows up.
